Wilde Maus is a steel wild mouse roller coaster currently located at Taunus Wunderland in Schlangenbad, Hesse, Germany.

History

The ride was originally constructed for the fair circuit, and traveled with Otto Barth starting in 1995. It would be setup next to a mirror image to create a twin wild mouse coaster. The coaster would be sold to Taunus for the 1999 season, leaving the other half of the twin coaster to continue travelling the german fairs on its own.

The ride opened as Taunusblitz at Taunus Wunderland. It would receive its current name in 2019, this happend with the introduction of the Tante Rosis Zuckerwatteland area in the park.
