Wild Rider, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey, US
The Wild Rider featured a compact steel track with single cars running through sharp turns and sudden drops in the Enchanted Forest section.
The steel coaster operated from 1978 through 1980, replacing the Italian-built carnival coaster Big Fury before its permanent removal in 1982.
The Wild Rider represented a significant addition to Six Flags Great Adventure's collection of thrill rides during the late 1970s entertainment expansion.
The 54-meter Schwarzkopf Wildcat design provided rapid acceleration and tight corners, requiring riders to meet specific height and safety requirements.
Werner Stengel engineered this roller coaster with a track layout that combined wild mouse elements with traditional steel coaster characteristics.
