Both the design and construction of the Wild Mouse, which begun in 1955, were done entirely in-house by the Pleasure Beach.
Designed by Frank Wright and opened in 1958 it was the first major ride to be built at the Pleasure Beach since World War II.

The ride was subsequently modified in the 1960s by the Velare Brothers (the originators of Sky Wheels and Space Wheels).
The top circuit preceding the switchbacks, containing a big drop and a shallower dip, was added making the ride about ​¹⁄₃ longer at 1,266 ft.
Apparently, this change was inspired by a similar alteration of the Velare's Wild Mouse at Nu-Pike in Long Beach, California.
