boldikus Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Its really not terrible, I think I'd actually ride it over Rollies due to those dumb OTSRs. But I tend to avoid both of those for the most part. I did get my nephew on DW a couple months ago and we had a mostly brake free ride. I've certainly ridden worse Wild Mouses (Mice?). But Flitzer and Great White I rank highly, the former mostly out of nostalgia (and that for a junior coaster its a ton of fun), the latter because when its running at its full potential on a hot summer night with a full (blue) train, it kicks all sorts of ass with some great air down the drop out of the station, the main drop, and the drop into the bunnyhops, and of course those insane laterals. And the Sea Serpent is definitely a better boomerang (tho I hope they do eventually get the vest restraints) and The Nor'easter is fantastic now, so with those other four choices, I'm content walking right by Rollies and Doo Wopper. Would be nice if they just scrapped Rollies and put in on of those insane drifter/swinging coasters from Robbs Oktoberfest report. That ride screams Wildwood boardwalk.

Canobie Coaster Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 ^ I agree that would be a great fit. That ride was way crazier than I expected. The Zamperla mice are probably my least favorite mouse model out there since the final drops aren't steep at all. Doo Wopper was comfortable though. Unlike the one at Rye Playland. That one sucked.

alilstronger Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hopefully its another awesome flat ride! I only get up here during the Color Guard Finals every spring (late April) and Morey's is nice enough to open just this pier for us. I'd like some more adult flats on this pier for that reason.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Maybe they are moving it to mariners to make way for something... They should move it to the junkyard to make way for something. That ride is awful. Eh, it wasn't bad, not great either. I wouldn't mind if it were removed, but I didn't find it any more uncomfortavle than any other mouse. Then again, I'm 5' 11", and those couple inches you have on me may make all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellynn4 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Did they ever make the announcement they teased in that Instagram post from a month ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 No announcements yet. If anything its a flat ride. I also heard from a former employee I'm friends with they are doing something to the Pirates of Wildwood ride. But he's no longer with them and that was in the early part of the summer so who knows.

Mr. Corn Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Morey's Piers will be adding a new SBF Visa spinning coaster, Wild Whizzer, on Mariners Pier, and will be retheming Pirates of Wildwood for the 2018 season!! - (you heard it here first!!)

ytterbiumanalyst Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I would be very okay with both those additions, if that is indeed what they're doing. But if they're going to update Pirates of Wildwood, I hope they have a giant pile of coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Maier Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 For those that frequent Morey's Piers . . . . How well is Sea Serpent running? I know it was the first Boomerang coaster in the US (and I think the trains on the early boomerangs were actually Arrow built). And I know The Great Nor'easter was retracked this year . . . . is it the smoothest of the SLC's out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Theme Parks. Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 ^^They just announced it at SFGAd during Winter Adventure. For those that frequent Morey's Piers . . . .

And I know The Great Nor'easter was retracked this year . . . . is it the smoothest of the SLC's out there? I thought the Great Nor'Easter was pretty awesome this year. There's a few jerky spots, but they're not too bad because it has vest-type restraints. They're also apparently doing some more track work this off-season as well. And Sea Serpent is one of the smoothest boomerangs I've ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 ^^They just announced it at SFGAd during Winter Adventure. Great! Did they confirm the giant pile of coke?

Unfortunately they said they wanted the theming to be more kid-friendly, but I'm still optimistic about the coke pile since they could easily include it in the ride and tell everyone it's just white sand.

I'm totally less interested in the spinning coaster, though that name is awesome and I guess we know where it will be going (next to Moby Dick) and it'll be a great fit for the little ones right there, but WTF with the retheming of Pirates? I'm a little butthurt because that ride is awesome in the most ridiculous way. I would be very okay with both those additions, if that is indeed what they're doing. But if they're going to update Pirates of Wildwood, I hope they have a giant pile of coke. You misspelled "sheet of acid". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think I've made this before: This actually was one of the results. I think the Google algorithm is trying to throw us off so we don't find out its plans for the robot uprising.

larrygator Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Morey's Piers will be adding a new SBF Visa spinning coaster, Wild Whizzer, on Mariners Pier, and will be retheming Pirates of Wildwood for the 2018 season!!- (you heard it here first!!) This would be the 60th SBF Group spinning coaster since the models were introduced in 2014, that's pretty impressive.

coasterbill Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 An SBF spinner would be a welcome addition to basically any park of any size, so I'm totally on board with that. That said, Pirates of Wildwood is perfection. Don't f*ck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I know we know this already but this a bit more official? Morey’s Piers To Get New Coaster http://wildwoodvideoarchive.com/moreys-piers-get-new-coaster/ It was recently announced at Winter Adventure 2017 on December 19th that Morey’s Piers will be adding a new roller coaster to their family. For those who do not know, “Winter Adventure” is a American Coaster Enthusiasts meeting to go over new and exciting things in the amusement industry. This year Morey’s Piers gave an update on what to expect this summer. Called the “Wild Whizzer,” it is a family coaster that will be located on Mariner’s Landing Pier. IT will cost 5 tickets to ride. We have a few photos and a video of what the ride will look like. The ride is custom to Morey’s Piers and will have a beach theme to go with it. The first photo shows what one of the trains will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I have a feeling that sign will be used much like the one at Playland's Castaway Cove. I still think the name is extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Question for the regulars here. My brother and I are planning to hit up Morey's between visits at KD and SFGAdv this summer with his two kids. We've never been before. Only gonna have a few hours to a half day to spend at the boardwalks. Anyone have any advice on how many tickets we should buy for 4 people? We see they have a sale now for 75 tickets for $40. Is that a good deal? Also, I didn't see any mention of an all day wristband or anything available. Do they sell anything like that at the piers? Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated!

Canobie Coaster Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I went to Morey's once last year and it was on a Saturday, but they did have a wristband. I believe it's pretty expensive without any discounts though. I purchased a discounted one through Tickets at Work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
