The ride
Muskrat Scrambler is a steel family wild mouse roller coaster built by L&T Systems on its Wild Mouse 30x20 platform at Six Flags New Orleans in Cajun Country, Louisiana, having opened to the public in 2000. After 26 seasons of operation it remains one of the defining attractions on the Six Flags New Orleans midway, drawing repeat riders who track every subtle change to its trains, restraints and station soundtrack.
On paper the ride is a serious thrill machine. It climbs 47 ft above the park before pitching forward into its first descent. Trains reach a top speed of 25.0 mph before the first turnaround, where the layout opens up into a sequence of lateral and vertical elements. In total the track stretches 1,183 ft, giving the experience a distinctly long-form feel rather than the punchy one-and-done character of many modern compact coasters. enthusiast trip-planning resources
Coasters from L&T Systems have a recognizable signature in track shaping, train design and the way transitions are paced. Riders familiar with other L&T Systems installations will pick up on the same DNA in Muskrat Scrambler's layout, particularly through its station design and the sound profile of the running gear. As a Wild Mouse 30x20, it sits within a recognizable family of attractions and benefits from years of refinement applied to similar installations elsewhere.
Plan to ride Muskrat Scrambler early in the day or during the final hour before park close, when standby waits at Six Flags New Orleans typically drop. Single-rider lines and early-entry ticketing programs, when available at Six Flags New Orleans, are usually the fastest ways to get repeat rides on a busy day. broader coaster community archives
