One of my favorite rides besides the Cyclone Racer (R) at NuPike in Long Beach California, was growing up riding the Wild Maus in the wild decade of the 1960's. I researched a lot of tracks and figured the Wild Mouse out from many photos. After constructing the ride for my NuPike Park project, I decided to share photo snaps with you here. The game is coming along and with rides like the Wild Maus, NuPike was a great place to get away from the world and just play and have fun. Too bad the City Council of Long Beach California decided to erect a new shopping mall (as if California needs another) rather than re open a clean new amusement park at the site. Evidently they never rode on the ride below.
