About The Exterminator

Basically, it's a well-themed, indoor (dark) "Wild Mouse." The spinning of the individual cars at certain times makes it unique.Check it out! -- Last edited by j j

One of my favorite "modern" rides in the park. This is a combination dark ride/psycho mouse rollercoaster. The difference between a psycho mouse and a wild mouse is the car. A psycho mouse car actually spins half way thorough the ride. I had the pin not disengage once and not spin. When I told the nice operators this, they let me ride again. The theme of giant rats in the sewers of Pittsburg is very tongue in cheek and the queue is quite enjoyable with actual old electric grids as atmosphere and news reports warning of the rodent menance. However there is a slow load time and it is in the far end of the park. So catch this early or late in the day. Also beware that the two restraints are chained together so make sure eveyone is seated and ready before you pull it down. While this ride is always fun, ride it for sure during the Phantom Fright Nights. They turn the lights off completely and it makes a wondefull crazy experience. Fun for Adults and children that like rollercoasters and/or are not scared of the dark. - Elizabeth Gray

Hit this one as soon as the park opens (Lost Kennywood often opens later than the park itself opens) as it has a low capacity and thus waits can get extremely long. What is it? Take your spinning mouse coaster, and put it in the dark. Wonderfully disorienting. - Todd Houts
