(Review)
No visit to Wildwood Grove is complete without a whirl on the Mad Mockingbird. As you walk up to the ride, the beautifully designed mockingbird-themed cars catch your eye with their vivid colors and attention to detail.
When its your turn to board, you take your place in one of these enchanting cars. The cars are suspended from above, swinging in a carousel fashion. As the ride takes off, you can see the surrounding Wildwood Grove attractions, including the iconic Wildwood Tree. You can control the movement of your Mockingbird too!
The Mad Mockingbird’s ride is swift and gentle, While the ride does achieve impressive heights, it’s not scary and everyone can ride together. After just over a minute of soaring excitement, the ride gracefully descends as the mockingbird cars return to the ground.
