Great Nor Easter - Morey’s 2018


ChrisJoe87

Morey’s Pier or “Surfside Pier”
Wildwood New Jersey 
Vekoma Custom SLC - opened 1995. Has since been completely re-tracked ; original trains replaced w/ new trains by manufacturer featuring  their comfy “vest-style” restraints. 
Trivia
Track Layout inspired by another Vekoma designed coaster- “Kamikaze” - which had operated
for three seasons between 1989-1991 @ another Wildwood amusement pier,
the “New” Hunt’s Pier. This pier was located immediately south of or ADJACENT TO Morey’s Pier. 
“KAMIKAZE” was purchased by SFOG , and relocated to the Atlanta park at the close of the 1991 summer season. The coaster debuted in April ‘92 as Ninja. 
Then in 2016, SFOG reintroduced the coaster as “Blue Hawk.” Sporting a new blue and grey paint job as well as trains by Vekoma  (which also feature their comfy “vest-style” restraint system), the coaster
is receiving accolades for the first time
since it’s original debut...almost 30 years ago!
