The Wild Mouse was a wooden roller coaster located in Pleasure Beach Resort which opened in 1958. It was one of only four remaining wooden Wild Mouse coasters left in the world as of the end of the 2017 season, and was held in very high regard as one of the finest and most extreme examples of Wild Mouse coasters.

After remaining closed for the majority of the 2017 season, the ride was removed in January 2018 to make way for "future developments".[1][2]
