Animal Coaster is a wooden wild mouse roller coaster currently located at Jawa Timur Park 2 in Batu, East Java, Indonesia.

History

The ride was manufactured in 1962 by Hopkins & Pearce and would eventually open on the Melbourne Showgrounds as Mad Mouse. It was owned by Wittingslow. It would only operate here for 10 days a year, during the Royal Melbourne Show. This operating schedule would eventually cease in 2003, where the ride was sold and shipped to Indonesia, where it would reopen in December of 2008 as Wild Mouse. The coaster would close again in 2011, now being relocated to the closeby Jawa Timur Park 2, where it reopened in September of that year as Animal Coaster.
