Alpen Blitz was a compact steel roller coaster that operated at Six Flags Great Adventure from 1976 to 1978. It was designed by Anton Schwarzkopf.At the end of 1974 it was determined that Great Adventure needed two additional roller coasters and an additional flume ride to accommodate huge crowds. So they purchased compact and inexpensive coasters called Jumbo Jet and Big Fury. Big Fury opened in the spring of 1975.
