Tight turns, surprising changes of direction and a true roller coaster classic.
Wilde Maus Göbel: What the ride feels like
The track begins with the climb. At the top come the tight, usually unbanked turns that are characteristic of a Wilde Maus. Your direction of view changes quickly, and from the outside the cars seem to jut far out beyond the rails. This distinctive ride experience comes from the track layout and the way the cars are built. More turns and smaller drops follow later. The intensity of the specific ride depends on its speed, load and operating routine. The reliable sources consulted do not clearly confirm a specific speed or fixed ride duration for this ride.

Technical specifications of Göbel's Wilde Maus
The manufacturer is Mack Rides from Germany. Ride-Index documents the year of construction as 1995, a footprint of 20 by 43 metres and a total height of 20 metres. The database lists a connected load of 130 kilowatts. The coaster is a portable ride that is set up at different fairgrounds. Figures for the exact track length, number of cars, people per car and maximum speed are not taken from similar Mack rides unless they are confirmed for this specific physical ride.
History: The steel coaster and its predecessor
A distinction is crucial when identifying photos and old reports: Göbel also operated a wooden Wilde Maus built in 1962. According to the specialist chronicle, this wooden coaster travelled under Göbel until 1994 and was then sold. The steel coaster documented today, from 1995, is therefore not simply a renamed version of that older wooden roller coaster. Nor should it be confused with the considerably larger Wilde Maus XXL. Although showman families and names are historically connected, these are different physical rides with their own technical specifications.

Who is Wilde Maus Göbel suitable for?
If you prefer roller coasters without inversions, Wilde Maus may be a good choice. The tight turns and changes of direction can still feel intense. So watch a ride first, then decide whether you want to get on. You can find out the minimum height, rules on accompanying children and other conditions of entry directly at the entrance. We do not estimate definitive figures here. Children should pay particular attention to the operating staff's instructions.
Tips for your funfair visit
With a Wilde Maus, it is worth watching the upper turns from the side: this is where the unusual track layout is most apparent. Photographs from different years may show different decorations. So always check the operator and the specific ride, not just its general name. Ride prices and waiting times depend on the particular engagement.
