My grandfather Robert James Thomas and Alf Green were the first owners of a Mad Mouse in Australia. The ride was purchased in 1960 or 1961 from England. It lived most of its working life at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds in Victoria. My father Barry was in charge of running the ride and doing all the maintainence on it. Wittingslow amusements then had the ride from about 1990 until it left the show in 2003.

I acquired a disassembled Mad Mouse years ago – still stored in one of the barns at my farm. The cars are very cool.

Oh also I know there not technecally wild mouse's, but has anyone rode an el-dorado? I would think that they are a lot of fun. For people that don't know el dorados are coasters that somewhat resemble wild mouse's but they have much steeper drops and go upside down.

Here's the article "Robocoaster Coming to Harry Potter Land". Nothing's confirmed yet though.

Yes, they will be a harry potter place there for 2011. and yes it will also be at universal. also, C.C. put up an article about it i cant send you a link but if you go to most recent articles and keep going back i`m sure you can find it.

back on topic, i don`t realy mind them but when they built the dark knight iwas realy disapointed, i thought it would be a quality in-the-dark not a suprisingly well-light wild mouse.

PS – JaMeS above, would you mind changing JaMeS to James or somthing, someone is alredy using that name and it`s realy confusing.

I dont know if this is true, but I heard somewhere that next year, another coaster is coming to Universal, and not the harry potter thingy. Im talking like Hulk big. Has anyone else heard of this?

Now, back on topic, I think Wild Mice just try to kill you. Jerk you to one side, jerk you to the other, then slam your head against the lap bar on the breaks. Probably the best family coasters outside Disney.
