Hell Cat is a wooden roller coaster at Clementon Amusement Park. It was built by S&S Power (Sansei Technologies). The ride has 2,602 feet of track, is 110 feet tall, with a 105-foot drop and a top speed of 56 mph. It lasts about 1 minute 30 seconds, has no inversions, and can be ridden by people at least 54 inches tall. The ride can handle about 2,560 riders per hour.

History and details:
- The coaster opened in 2004 as Tsunami, was renamed J2 in 2005 after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and became Hell Cat in 2008 after a change in park ownership.
- Parts of the track were replaced from 2005 to 2007 by Great Coasters International for a smoother ride. In 2006, only one train operated while the other was at a rehab shop.
- The park was sold to Adrenaline Family Entertainment, and the coaster kept the Hell Cat name.
- The ride closed with the park on September 8, 2019, and reopened on June 24, 2021 after the park was acquired by Indiana Beach Holdings. It was retracked in the 2021–2022 off-season.
- The layout features a short but intense upward helix and runs near a picnic area. On clear days, riders can see the Philadelphia skyline from the lift hill.
- Hell Cat has been closed since 2023 and is listed as under refurbishment. In 2025, evidence of Rocky Mountain Construction’s 208 ReTrak was spotted, signaling a retrack as part of the renovation announced May 9, 2025.
