Whizzer

The Coaster that Launched a Million Screams

The Whizzer isn’t your typical family-friendly roller coaster. It’s a rite of passage! Ride the classic coaster that has sparked a love of coasters for almost 50 years. This venerable two-by-two train has launched a love of coasters in countless riders since the park opened in 1976.

But don’t think a little age makes Whizzer any less formidable. This classic steel spiral coaster still has some screams left in it!

Cruise through a scenic wooded area at speeds topping 45 mph, you zoom inches away from the foliage and rush past a pond on the ground.

Whiz through a few more spirals, zip around steep curved turns, and dash down more dips before gravity returns you to the station.

A family-friendly ride with a storied history, The Whizzer is an ACE Coaster Landmark, honored for its unique history and exceptional preservation. Add your scream to its long list of coaster lovers!
