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[edit | edit source]
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.
