Don't neglect the flat rides. Parks can never have too many flat rides. -

Moreys Piers Discussion Thread

I think it was just the normal roughness of going through a bunch of tight elements. It was nothing like riding Mind Eraser at SFNE before the new trains. -

^ Whenever I see someone mention a "ground up" coaster, I always picture a pile of metal shavings and/or wood chips. -
Moreys Piers Discussion Thread

I did a bunch of flats. I was a single rider, so no ferris wheel. I don't do drop towers or launch towers. I didn't ride IT because I'm a bit bigger and sometimes have trouble fitting into the restraints of rides like that. I'll never forget the time I was walk-of-shamed off Revolution at Dorney. I didn't do the log flume because I didn't have any spare socks with me. (I hate walking around in wet socks.) The Flyers were fun, but nothing compared to Knoebels' Flyers. -

I went to Morey's Piers for the very first time today thanks to the free ticket voucher I got from ACE. Being used to the long lines at Great Adventure, I was loving the lack of lines at the Piers. The Great Nor'easter was rough but not painful, thanks to the new vest restraints. They have a metal detector at the entrance to the ride, but the nearby storage compartments are free for the first 30 minutes, so that wasn't too painful. I rode The Great White three times and it is definitely a back seat ride. Rollies Coaster was down every time I checked, so I'll have to go back to get that credit. I did ride Doo Wopper and Flitzer. I've just got to say that every park needs a Flitzer. Those coasters are just plain fun. Overall, I'd say Morey's Piers is a great seaside park. -

You didn't overbuy. You gave yourself an excuse to go back. -

I can honestly say that Dorney Park has the worst set of Flyers I've ever ridden. -

If you do the chairlift, be aware they no longer allow single riders. I was also there this past Sunday. I walked all the way down to the chairlift only to see the sign stating that the ride does not allow single riders. I actually did get a tiny bit of snapping when I rode the American Flyer, but nowhere near what I get with the Flyers at Knoebels. -

Just remember, with Fast Track you only get to skip the line once for each of the rides that accept it. So, it's pretty much worthless. -
Enjoying T3 is like an oxymoron, you realize. Preach! I'm surprised anyone could get a good ride on that thing. One and done for us. One of the worst coasters I've ever ridden. I take it you've never ridden Mind Eraser at SFNE. That coaster was a one and done for me. T3 was a walk in the park compared to it.
