RailBlazer is a steel single rail roller coaster located at California's Great America in Santa Clara, California, USA. It is a Raptor Track installation from Rocky Mountain Construction. The attraction opened on June 14, 2018 on the former location of Invertigo before it was relocated to Dorney Park in 2012. As a result of RailBlazer's arrival, the other rides nearby were rethemed to match its off-road redwoods theme.
