Wilderness Run is a steel kiddie roller coaster located at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. The ride was built by E&F Miler Industries and opened in 1998. It is part of the Camp Snoopy area.

History

When the attraction first opened in 1998, it was known as Taxi Jam. In 2005, it was renamed Hey Arnold's Taxi Chase. In 2010, the track was repainted blue and it was renamed Lucy's Crabbie Cabbie, after the character Lucy from Peanuts.

As Carowinds announced that Planet Snoopy would become Camp Snoopy for the 2018 season, the park announced that Lucy's Crabbie Cabbie would become Wilderness Run and it would be repainted green with brown supports.[1]
