Wild Thing is an Arrow Dynamics steel roller coaster located at Wild Waves Theme & Water Park in Federal Way, Washington, USA. It was previously located at Rocky Point Park where it was called Loop Corkscrew.
History
The ride originally opened in 1984 under the name "Loop Corkscrew". The entire ride was painted white.[1] With the closure of the park, it was sold in auction to Wild Waves and Enchanted Village on April 16, 1996. It opened there on June 24, 1997 with a new colour scheme, lime green with blue supports.
In 2010, the ride was painted again, this time with yellow track.[2]
