Ambush

Idlewild Park steps up to challenge the big parks with the addition of Ambush, a 5000 foot long wooden monster.  This CCI megacoaster features three "trick" tracks, two tunnels, and nearly 20 episodes of airtime over 15 major drops.  Covering 17 acres of Pennsylvania hills and using over 2 million board feet of Southern Yellow pine, Ambush is one of the largest coasters in CCI's short history.  Look for Ambush to join it's companions as one of the world's top wooden coasters.
