The "Jet Star" is a steel roller coaster formerly located at Knoebels Amusement Resort. It is a standard production model Schwarzkopf Jet Star, which is a compact ride featuring many small dips and turns. The Jet Star was built for a German carnival operator in 1972. Moved to Astroland on Coney Island for a year before opening at Knoebels in 1977. The Jet Star operated at Knoebels until 1992 when it was replaced by the Whirlwind. After leaving Knoebels it was relocated to Morey's Piers in Wildwood, NJ and then to a small park in France.
