PTR: Random Morey's Piers Trip 6/25

Let me just say, I had a surprise call to go to Morey's around 2pm and had nothing to do so we went. Was the strangest yet one of the funnest trips I've had at the park. The new Great Nor'easter is so SMOOTH! Rode it at least 10 times and felt perfectly fine... in the back row! I notice that Red train is smoother then Blue train. At night, the ride is even better.

I also rode... the Sky Swaflipper or something similar to that name. I don't know what I was thinking, but it was surprisingly fun as anything and the view was unbelievable. Though I will say before the ride I was so freaken scared, haha. Now to the pictures.

NOTE: All pictures are actually stills from my video camera cause my regular digital has something in the second screen and had to send it in to get it clean.

Your car ride entertainment!

What fire? There was never anything here.

We are currently building more fun for you, not less!

ZOMBIEEES!!!!

Yum, the new smooth trains!

The restraints feel like a B&M's flyers actually.

Look ma, the old queue-linerabob is gone!

Step one: Unzipper

Mmmm, finally can ride without my head feeling like a brick hit it!

No love for red train when we got there.

AtmosFEAR! Best drop tower with narration... to bad it's narration was turned off today!

That's what she said.

Hey Dark Knight!

Grr -- I'm Dante from Dante's Dungeon, give me a cookie.

REMEMBER THOSE SIX FLAGS?

Ian said, "That's what she said!"

The view of a butt of a car.

Yay for Morey's operate it yourself rides.

Sadly, a ride I never got to ride today, but I'll just ride it next week.

A sea of people.

Ton of ACER-people around..

Ah, AtmosFEAR at night is so freaken pretty.

Their new rethemed Graviton.

Hey Six Flags, Hey.

Amazing.

The LCD station is awesome too!

And Finish off with a night shot of the train!

Great TR. Looks like I should get down there again. The last time I was there was in 2000.

The last time I rode the Great Nor'Easter it was hell. But that was before the new restraints. Great White always gives a great ride.

I can say without a doubt that it is everything but hell now.

I wish all SLC's would get those trains.

Great pictures BTW. And some funny ones.

Great trip report Josh. I'm planning on heading down there soon. Dumb question, all piers are close to each other correct?

I have to agree with you, Great Nor Easter is an amazing ride now with those restraints. It is EASILY better than a lot of B&M inverts i've been on. I've glad to have others that agree with this and hopefully, the rave reviews of these new trains could get other parks to perhaps adopt these new trains also?

P.S. I think i might have seen you at the opening of Dark Knight at Gadv. I was that guy with the BDK at SFNE shirt.

Great pictures.

I'm glad to hear the new trains make the ride smooth, because without the head banging SLC's could be pretty fun coasters.

Also the new trains do resemble B&M flyers a bit, and thats impressive that you compare an SLC to some B&M inverts.

Hopefully they will install them on more SLC's.

Yes, I couldn't believe last night that I was willing to debate that it was as smooth as a B&M... I thought at myself so strangely as if to say Vekoma... has a smooth and comfortable ride.

And good chance you say me there; I was the fourth rider on it in front of the ribbon cutting, and taking ton of pictures for the event for my site.

And Jay, the piers are close enough. They are about a good five-ten minute walk in between, but thats why god has given us the tram car!

^ Watch the Tram Car please! Wow I hate hearing that everytime I go.
