Wild Mouse Stranded, Rescued Safely | Pittsburgh News

Three riders were stranded high above Idlewild Park’s Wild Mouse roller coaster on a Monday evening, sparking a tense but smoothly resolved emergency. Fire crews arrived swiftly, using a mechanical lift to safely evacuate all passengers without injury. One rider, a woman with her eight-year-old cousin, praised the calm response of both park staff and firefighters — so much so, she vowed to return. The ride’s parent company, Herschend, confirmed the incident and announced a temporary shutdown for a full safety inspection, while the rest of the park stayed open. Fire Chief Kurt Rose called the rescue a textbook example of preparedness, highlighting the park’s strong emergency protocols.
