I rode the whizzer for the 1st time saturday and I rode it twice. I thought packed a punch for how small it looked. Night rides are amazing!!!! It is now my favorite steel. Better than RB, MF, Maggie, BKF, SUE, I loved it!!!

I thought I loved Whizzer more than anyone, but I guess not! Seriously, I'm glad you got to ride Whizzer. It's not big, fast, or whatever, it's just fun. I can't wait to ride it again!
That better than buisness..?? I'm just going to leave that alone. :)

The Whizzer was not only my first real steelie, but my first job too. It was beautifully landscaped, unique in layout, lift, and stock, and just out and out fun. I was very bummed when they removed it from PGA.

Yeah, I rode Zambezi Zinger at WoF which was basically a copy of the Whizzer. I was sweet!
Where is the Whizzer now?
Which Whizzer? Arn't there 3?

My brain is ΒΌ coaster!
The Wizzler was my first steelie as well. The ride terrified me the first time, and I have loved it ever since. What it has become is a fun family coaster. No it isn't the tallest, fastest most thrilling anything, but there is something to be said for a 25 year old coaster that can still make me smile.

As of now, there is only one Whizzer. It is at SFGAm. There were two, the other at PGA, but I think it got moved to South America.
I also love this ride. It was my first rollercoaster ever, and I was scared to death! I almost cried. That was 10 long years ago, when I was only 6, maybe 5. I don't know what month I went in. It is the coaster with the most sentimental value to me. It is also one of my favorites, and always will be. It is the only Schwarzkopf I was on (I was scared to go on Tidal Wave even though I was tall enough, and the next year it moved! Never refuse to go on a coaster if you can, you will regret it! I sure do.)

I can be rude. I'm going to try to be nicer on these boards from this date forward, May 21, 2001

How can you not like a coaster that allows you to cuddle up with your significant other?
This ride is always fun and the terrain in and around this ride is great.

Whizzer proved to me that old steel coasters can keep their excitement just like woodies. Usually steel coasters get so rough that it is uncomfortable. Whizzer was fun and comfortable. I think Whizzer is a true family ride. I went on a school trip and dragged my friends on it, literally, and they loved it. They were so suprised. We went back for multiple re-rides.
