The Wildfire Phenomenon: What Makes This Coaster a Must-Ride?

What to Expect on the Ride

From the moment you hear the whoosh of WildFire’s launch, you’ll know this isn’t your average coaster ride. It kicks off with a scenic climb that gives you just enough time to question your life choices—before dropping you 15 stories straight down at heart-pounding speed. And that’s just the beginning.

Next up? A full vertical loop that sends you head-over-heels, followed by a cobra roll that’ll twist your world sideways. Just when you think you’ve caught your breath, a corkscrew and high-speed spiral come flying at you.

Between the G-forces, flips, and stunning views of the Ozarks (if you can manage to keep your eyes open), this ride delivers non-stop thrills from first drop to final brake. Expect adrenaline, screams, and maybe a little windblown hair—it’s all part of the WildFire experience.

Is WildFire Right for You?

WildFire is designed for thrill-seekers who meet the minimum height requirement of 52 inches . While the ride offers a smooth experience, its intense speed and multiple inversions may be overwhelming for younger or more sensitive riders.

Pro Tips for Riding WildFire

Want to make the most of your WildFire ride? Here are some quick, ride-smart tips to help you beat the lines, snag the best seat, and catch every loop like a pro:

Ride early or late: Lines tend to be shorter right after the park opens or closer to closing time—plan accordingly for minimal wait and max airtime.

Choose your seat wisely: For a smoother ride with incredible views of the Ozarks, go front row. For the wildest drops and g-forces, head straight to the back.

Skip the wait: Grab a TrailBlazer or Super TrailBlazer pass to skip the regular line and ride like a VIP.

Watch the weather: WildFire won’t run if it’s below 40°F, so check the forecast before you go.

Try the test seat: Not sure if you’ll fit? Use the test seat at the ride entrance to make sure you’re good to go—no surprises, just smooth takeoff.

Stash your stuff: The park doesn’t allow loose items, so pack light or store your belongings in a locker to keep them safe while you loop through the sky.
