Wildcat was a wooden roller coaster at Seabreeze Amusement Park built in 1926 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.[1][2] The roller coaster operated until 1935[1] when it was destroyed by a large fire that consumed much of the park's southern end. Wildcat stood in a section of the park where the iconic, "Over The Falls" log flume ride and today's log flume currently stands. The coaster passed directly alongside the Jack Rabbit's station.[1][3] The Wildcat's station was located North of Jack Rabbit where the Flying Scooters flat ride is today.[3][2]
