Whizzer was a Schwarzkopf extended jumbo jet model that operated at California's Great America from 1976 to 1988.

The small coaster featured the infamous electric spiral lift that was a space-saving feature these rides deployed on most of their builds.

While only reaching a height of 70 feet (21m), Whizzer did manage to top out at 42MPH.
