Wildebeest is a water coaster at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, United States.

It held that record until May 11, 2012, when Mammoth, Holiday World's second water coaster, took over the title at 1,763 feet (537 m) long.

In 2010, Wildebeest was voted the world's "Best New Waterpark Ride" at the Golden Ticket Awards, which are presented annually by Amusement Today magazine.

On August 13, 2009, Holiday World & Splashin' Safari announced Wildebeest, a ProSlide HydroMagnetic Rocket that was to be built to the north of Bahari Wave Pool.

During the construction of Wildebeest, producers from the National Geographic Channel's World's Toughest Fixes visited the park to document the progress.

[4] The track on Wildebeest is made out of numerous pieces of molded, red and yellow fiberglass supported by concrete pillars.

The track features a conveyor belt lift hill as well as eight linear induction motors that propel the boats back uphill.

An alternating magnetic field beneath the slide surface interacts with a steel plate mounted on the underside of each boat to push them uphill smoothly and quickly.

At this point the boat makes a left turn before entering the ride's initial 38 feet (12 m) drop at a 45° angle.

At the crest of this hill the boat exits the tunnel and makes a small drop before traveling uphill thanks to the fourth LIM.

At the top of this hill the boat completes a left-turning helix before making a slight turn to the right to line up with the unloading station.

All riders must abide by Splashin' Safari's dress code, which includes wearing modest swimwear or clothing, in order to ride.
