Morey's boomerang photos needed - Arrow train era

[arrowguy]

Looking for good quality photos or video of Morey's Sea Serpent during the first 10 to 15 years of its career, when it ran the standard red Arrow train (the current yellow Vekoma train was added in the early 2000's I believe). These would be used for reference to discuss a model with a potential client. I've already contacted the park as well as the amazing Shane's Amusement Attic directly but no luck except for one video out there that just does not have the clarity needed. I was hoping someone might have shots from this era they would be willing to share.

 

Thanks.

Have you already seen this footage?

 

 

Also, there are few photos on this page: http://www.wildwood365.net/2015/04/moreys-piers-kicks-off-47th-season.html

 

Are you looking more for photos with the train visible?

I'll be in WW @ my moms this weekend, she is the queen of photos/photo albums from the 80s, so I'll have a look through and see if I can find any of the train. I know for sure she's got pictures of the ride, especially the year it was a built (it was a really big deal in 1984). Let me see if I can do some digging and I'll report back to this thread next week.

Ahhh, the train that had its chassis almost ripped out in the accident. Man I'm getting old as I can still picture that red train

Yes, that's the one video I have found. I was still hoping someone had better quality close up images of the train. Thanks for the links though!

This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to hear. Thanks a ton for checking. Looking forward to seeing what is in the collection.

OK call me intrigued lol ....what happened? And was it the reason they got a different train? I know there have been a couple situations where rear cars have detached, and of course the ongoing um, situation in St. Louis...

Awwwwww man I totally forgot to look when I was in town this week. Too busy having fun. Let me see if I can bug my mom to do some digging and find some pictures. I know without a doubt she's got pics of the old trains.
