It's pretty great. As RMC's go, I preferred Lightning Rod (in its former life, not sure how the chain lift affects it), but Wildcat's Revenge is up there.
We were just at Hersheypark last week and rode Wildcats Revenge for the first time. Of the 3 RMC's I have been on (Steel Vengeance, Twisted Timers, and Wildcat) this was by far the worst of the three in my opinion. I rated it as a 4 of 5, but it is well below the other two. I can't really explain it, but something just felt off. Whether it is the layout, the pacing, or something else it was a one and done. It is not one I really need to go out of my way to ride again.
As always, YMMV
I totally agree. It's still a great ride, but I also thought it was lackluster for the size and scope. New Texas Giant is about the same size, over a decade older, and is a more fun ride overall and some of the smaller rides seem to do a lot more. Maybe it's the lack of massive air hills and the focus on inversions and wave turns.

"Pacing" on an RMC is a funny concept to me. My experience seems to be "blur of complete insanity" from the top of the lift to the brakes. In a good way.
Whenever I hear "Wildcat's Revenge" I think of the famous children's book by author Claude Bahls.

Happy to have contributed to that 40 mark.
Nemesis is definitely worthy. I had such fear of "anticipointment" going to ride it, but it's everything you think it is, and more. Only slight negative is that it's a bit short, and leaves you wanting instant re-rides.
One surprise for me that's not made it yet is ArieForce One. Surely we've gotten enough of us crazies down there to get 40 votes?
Later,
