Rollie's Coaster is a steel roller coaster in the Mariner's Pier section of Morey's Piers amusement park located in Wildwood, New Jersey.[1] Manufactured by Pinfari, the Zyklon roller coaster model opened to the public in 1999. The ride, which is described as a family coaster, features three hills, a helix, and can accommodate up to four riders per car.[2]

The coaster was described by The Roller Coaster Lover's Companion as having a relatively mild thrill level (2 on a 5-point scale), and it was rated 3 out of 5 five stars for its overall ride quality and experience.[3] The Philadelphia Inquirer mentioned the ride's opening in 1999.[4]
