I rode it last night and loved the coaster's first drop. When Me and Patrick got on, the lap bar wouldn't stay down completely. The car was pushed out of the one sided wooden station platform by one friction tire. There was a another tire that shoved the car towards the lift. When the car engaged the chain, which was like a normal linked chain the car jolted and slammed us back into the seat. Then it slowly started up the lift. The lift had this weird bouncing in the lower half and then smoothed out. The coaster was banging, clanging and was overall really nosy. The chain was slapping and bouncing in the chain guide. The coaster failed tunnel test from the side. I could touch the supports to the side of the car. The lift was making some really weird warping noises. I even road the coaster all my by self in the car alone. The brakes didn't engage until the last half of the brake run. They were applied very hard, so I braced for them each time. I even rode it in light rain. The first drop had a nice plunging feeling and light feeling on the tops on the anti rollbacks sections. I rode this coaster countless times.

It's normal that the swarchkopf wildcats brake so abrupt. That's one of the reasons why I love them.
