Big Fury was a steel compact non looping roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, operating from the 1975 to 1977 seasons.
This was an Italian-built carnival coaster such as a Pinfari Zyklon. This coaster was similar to the Flying Dutchman 50 miles (80 km) northwest at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom. The coaster was indeed designed to be portable and moved frequently.
Six Flags decided that a more exciting portable coaster would be an improvement. They removed and sold this one and acquired another compact coaster to build in its place. As a result, this roller coaster is often confuse with a Schwarzkopf Wild Cat roller coaster called Wild Rider which replaced the Big Fury in 1978. The new ride had far more curves than Big Fury.
Until the mid-1990s, a walkway directly connected the area now known as Fantasy Forest with Showcase Theatre. Big Fury was located to the right of this walkway, in the space once occupied by most of Movietown Water Effect and now occupied by The Dark Knight.

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or fury:
“It is not only a question of who is responsible for very young children. There is no longer anyone home to care for adolescents and the elderly. There is no one around to take in the car for repair or to let the plumber in. Working families are faced with daily dilemmas: Who will take care of a sick child? Who will go to the big soccer game? Who will attend the teacher conference?”
—Fran Sussner Rodgers (20th century)
“The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
