Flitzer, Steel roller coaster at Morey's Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey
Flitzer is a steel roller coaster at Morey's Piers in Wildwood designed by German manufacturer Zierer, with a chain lift system pulling riders up the hill. The ride features standard seating and operates without inversions, providing moderate speeds for family audiences.
The ride was built by Zierer in 1969 and arrived at Morey's Piers in 1983, where it operated for over three decades. After years of steady service, it ceased operation in 2018.
The Flitzer was a place where multiple generations of families experienced their first roller coaster rides and created memories along the New Jersey boardwalk. Many visitors connect the ride with their childhood and with carefree times by the shore.
The Flitzer was a good choice for beginners or younger riders, as it operated without extreme movements and maintained a comfortable speed. Visitors should note that the ride has not been available since 2018, so the site is now mostly of historical interest.
This was one of only ten Flitzer models ever built for the American market, making it a rare piece of roller coaster history. Most of these original examples have since been retired, turning the site into a relic of a bygone era of amusement rides.
