Railer Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Amusement Today has announced that Knoebels is the mystery buyer of the Golden Nugget from Morey's Piers in Wildwood. The Park is looking to re-open the ride for 2010 Season, saying that they don't want to rush it, and that they want to honor the ride's past while looking to a great future for the ride. It is a classic ride that I have been on quite a few times and I hope that they do the ride justice, and I think they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised to see them have it up and running before the Flying Turns opens at the rate they've been going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiller Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I think that they want to finally get Flying Turns running full time before they start on another big project. Knoebels have been in the process of removing High Speed Thrill Coaster, which was a kiddie coaster. Will the Golden Nugget be replacing this ride even though it was located in the Kiddieland?

Yoshi Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I hope they can get it running. I never had a chance to ride it at Wildwood (first visit was in 2005) and it looked like a cool ride based on the POV I saw of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
