Wilderness Run (formerly known as Taxi Jam, Hey Arnold's Taxi Chase, and Lucy's Crabbie Cabbie) is a steel roller coaster at Carowinds.^[1]

Design[]

Wilderness Run, next to Intimidator, has a green track with brown supports, including a yellow and orange train with a red stripe down the middle. The train consists of six cars with two people per car making a total of twelve riders. The coaster was made by E&F Miler Industries which also made the Taxi Jam roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland and The Great Pumpkin Coaster at Kings Island and Kings Dominion.

Layout[]

As riders leave the station, they climb up the 15 foot (4.572 m) lift hill. When riders reach the top of the hill, they do a left downward bank turn, which takes their picture in the middle of the element. Riders climb up a small camelback hill, then a smaller hill, with a downward left helix, following a series of airtime bumps.
