Wolverine Wildcat
Although various amusement rides and other coasters had been added to the park, the introduction of this coaster signaled a move into the big leagues along with a name change from Deer Park Funland to Michigan's Adventure. The coaster was designed by Curtis D. Summers and built by the Dinn Corporation. It was the first new project for the duo Dinn & Summers, who would go on to build an additional nine coasters over the next four years.
The coaster is now mainly worked on by Martin & Vleminckx through multiple reconstruction and retracking projects in order to smoothen it out and give a better total ride experience.
Wolverine Wildcat is one of only two roller coasters at Michigan's Adventure with manual brakes. Brakes must be opened and closed with buttons. The only other roller coaster with manual brakes is Zach's Zoomer.
