Midnight Flyer is a steel family roller coaster at Santa's Village in Jefferson, New Hampshire. The park describes it as a smooth family coaster themed to flying with Santa's reindeer, with midnight blue cars and green track.
The ride is a Vekoma Horus family coaster, and Vekoma announced its official opening on June 17, 2024. It replaced Rudy's Rapid Transit, a Zierer coaster that the park retired in 2023 after 35 seasons. A booster-wheel lift takes the 20-passenger train to a height of 41 feet, and the 1,148-foot track reaches about 25 mph with no inversions.
The park requires riders to be at least 36 inches tall to ride with a companion aged 16 or older, and 48 inches tall to ride alone.
