Big Fury was a steel compact non looping roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, operating from the 1974 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 northwest at Dorney Park. 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 mistaken for 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 1990's, 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 Dark Knight.
