Model Information

Model: Wild Mouse

Notes: There were at least two sizes of Wild Mouse roller coasters built by Ben Schiff. All sizes but an unusual variant are grouped together in this entry as a method of differentiating them hasn't been established.

Based on letters written from Ben Schiff to Kennywood Park, theirs was a larger model.

Ads found in Billboard magazine provide some information on the different models. In April 1958, only one model was advertised at a price of $40,000. In 1959 two models existed, a park model at $37,900 and a portable model at $18,900 (the first digit in the microfilm is illegible, but the "1" is assumed). 1960 advertisements listed only a price range of $23,900 to $37,900.
