- Turns out Vekoma SLC's are actually pretty good roller coasters! All it takes to make them better is a full track replacement... so shout out to Morey's Piers for going the extra mile to improve the guest experience on Great Nor'Easter, because that ride was AWESOME!

I gotta say, the layout of SLC’s are really cool. Wave turn, double heart line roll, too bad most of them kill you.
Honestly I agree with this 100% I always thought the layout was very interesting. I grew up in Ohio, my technical home park was Geauga Lake, but I also frequented Cedar Point. As a kid I said the SLC was my Raptor away from CP 😂💀I didn’t hate it as a kid
Imagine b&m made them
I agree, I’ve never been on an slc but those layouts look very cool, I don’t know why people say there layouts were boring
The ghost ship is 100% something to come back and do, there’s 20 live scare actors in there and some really god theming and jump scares. It’s also open all season long but I highly recommend doing it in peak season because if u go during fall or spring they won’t have all the scare actors in there yet. But regardless it’s a great attraction!
*When a boardwalk pier can fix a coaster type that's been hated on by 99 percent of the population who have experienced but a corporation who has over 10 parks that they own and thousands of dollars more cant do it.*
Morey's Piers may seem like a small operation, but they have some heavy hitters on that team and especially did in the 1990s when this was opened. I agree with your statement though.
Morey's Piers takes GREAT care of their coasters.
Buzzed Bars was there three weeks ago for Coasting By the Ocean…that’s is a highly underrated event that more enthusiasts should know about! Morey’s does a great job taking care of enthusiasts for that event.
The best SLC, the retrack the work they did was amazing, they retracked great white
Went a few days ago but didn’t get on great white I thought nor’easter was best in the park(s)
In the UK we have an awful SLC, infusion, but we have 2 fantastic SLCs with custom layouts, kumali and Odysey
They did? Did they retrack the Great White recently?
Think we might be needing of a re-review of the SLC. 😉
Yes. Get a re-review!!
I agree!
Look, the moment Sarah says, "This is the episode where Sarah gets what she wants," I was confused...
Sarah ALWAYS gets what she wants! Keep the queen, happy!
Those lines looked crazy. I'm glad you guys enjoyed this park.
ily
Looks like that counseling disney did has really helped vekoma and Taylor's relationship
Everyone laughed when either of us said the SLC's problems were the transitions and the trains and that the base layout was actually good. Well, who's laughing now? :P
back row on great nor’easter is better than most b&m inverts. can’t change my mind
Banshee and Raptor would have something to say about that
@@diveloopthrills7613 yea that’s why i said “most”
@@louierivera8028 yeah
@@diveloopthrills7613 montu has something to say also
@@DuckDucknoGoose Montu looks phenomenal
Your Great Nor'Easter off ride video and review was the first videos of yours I watched back in 2014. It's been so great to see you and your production grow and improve over time whilst myself growing up watching your videos. I hope you carry on your success and joy for travelling and riding coasters- I'm really looking forward to watching your documentary coming out. Alex
Ghost ship is a 100% must, I would recommend going back mid next summer when all the workers are there and going at night. it’s a great experience and really fun.
We loved a SLC is the FASTEST I’ve ever clicked on a video.
I need more info ASAP
I clicked just as fast too! As someone who has been riding Nor Easter for the last decade, it is amazing to see a respected coaster enthusiast show it the love it deserves. For years now the re-tracking has kept this ride running like butter. The restraints are beyond comfortable and like mentioned in the video, your comfort lets you finally appreciate the layout and forceful elements of the SLC. One thing that wasn't mentioned but is my personal favorite aspect of this ride is how compact the coaster sits within Morey's Piers. This is the only SLC to be built on top of other attractions/elements and the abundance of near misses makes the ride feel that much faster and thrilling. The Nor Easter is the KING of SLC's!
I was there the year before and after the re track and I could believe it was the same ride lmao.
I love your enthusiasm over this SLC, Taylor 😂😂😂
Vekoma, do this to every single SLC please.
Yes, please. they are such good rides but the roughness just ruins the whole experience.
Did they take this concept on N.A.C.?
fun fact: the last operating flitzer in the us is barracuda at jolly roger, it was relocated from jenkinsons boardwalk in 2018, the only other is in south africa
Another really fun, totally smooth SLC is Kumali at flamingo land in the uk, it's a custom layout with a forceful first drop. It just proves that only roughness makes an SLC bad
Just was at Morey's Piers recently and got the front seat on the last train for Great White. It was amazing, the thing was hauling through the course and the view was awesome
Morey’s definitely sets a precedent over all SLCs. Of all the things it makes me wish all SLCs could be like this. Of course the new SLCs/STCs are probably even better.
Agree, I've actually ridden that thing after they rebuilt the track and it was awesome. It was like B&M good. The pacing, smoothness, inversions, TONS of force, no head banging. REALLY good ride. Top of the lift just like Great White has AMAZING views to.
Taylor, if you come back to the UK, you must get to fantasy island to ride the Odyssey and also to Flamingo Land to ride Kumali because they are fantastic SLCs with custom layouts and super smooth and intense too!
Glad you liked the park, its always been a special one to me. I never even knew about all the SLCs and boomerangs all over until recently, but enjoyed them here as a kid
I had a beach house in wildwood and went on the boardwalk all he time. Love to see you visiting this park.
I came here in early August and had never ridden an SLC before but knew their reputation. I thought I was crazy when I loved it so I searched to see if you had talked about this before and just saw your review from a few years ago. Thanks for validating me with this haha
You can’t deny vekoma slc have some intense layouts it would be a good coaster if someone else made it or newer vekoma!
This SLC is forever one of my favorites. So good.
good vibes all around, love it
I love Morey's Piers!!! Such a great atmosphere (especially at night), and they have great rides for a seaside park! You kind of have to be "flexible" though, as they may close earlier or later than the posted time depending usually on crowd levels.
Thank GOD, one of my favorite coasters at one of my home parks. Great nor easter KILLS some B&M inverts for me. Great vid!
I remember watching the review you did for the nor'easter 3 years ago and after you did the smoothness category I thought to myself, "Taylor, you gotta reride it like it's BUTTER SMOOTH now!" Well what happened? You did and you loved it, and I finally got a new review for it lmao!
YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE ON PASSING ON ROLLIES COASTER!! Rode that 2 times and both times the second half beats the crap out of my head and knees!!
That shot of the Ferris wheel with the moon behind it was perfect!!!
Ghost Ship is so much fun, and such a unique theme park attraction, I feel like it's rare to see such a large-scale walk through operating year round.
I had nightmares because of Dante’s Inferno when I was a kid. I’m a little old… but I remember wildwood was littered with dark rides. Dracula’s castle was awesome… don’t even think the pier is there anymore. I do hear ghost-ship is a great replacement. They had they best flat rides… and I remember when GNE was violent lol. I can’t wait to ride it again! Also, you guys are adorable and thank you for the continued quality content.
I don’t think you knew this, but when I went to wildwood this year, sea serpent had the new Vecoma train which made the ride better.
Ive ridden the great nor easter numerous times during my visit. It was amazing. Probably the best slc ever imo
Nice to hear an SLC get some love for a change.
Yesss I was hoping you’d come here!!
I agree. I rode Nor'Easter in 2019 and was surprised how great it was. No head banging. I think it is a top ride for me. Later that day I did Mind Eraser at SFA and they could not be any more different ride experiences.
There are 4 good Vekoma SLC's.
Condor - Walibi Holland
Great Nor'easter - Morey's Piers
The Riddler Revenge - Six Flags New England
Roller Coaster Mayan - Energylandia
Kumaili at Flamingo Land, The Odyssey at Fantasy Island
@@lightningboat forgot about them.. oops
T3 is decent just vacuums your legs 😳
I went on this my first time this summer. It was so fun!! The first drop is a lot more intense than it looks, I had to get back in line lol
I thought Riddler Revenge was great...but this was better than a lot of B&M inverts I've ridden.
I feel weird for saying I prefer riddler than this. The rougher experience makes it feel so chaotic, adding a lot of intensity
And sorry airtime, I think riddler is better than Montu (real unpopular opinion right here)
Mr. Vekoma is so happy right now!
Condor at Walibi Holland has now gotten the vest restraints too, It's much better now. I'm glad they modified it instead of removing it as it was very groundbreaking being the very first SLC.
Ghost Ship is amazing, one of my personal favorite haunts and best thing is it is open year-round
“We weren’t able to ride it!”
“Ride what?”
“IT!”
That had me dying lol
Riding an slc and loving it what the hell is this 😯I got to go to ride this slc now 👍
Keep up the great work
Love this ride. So different from any SLC after Vekoma updated to that “bendable track”🥃
I live like 10 minutes from there. And the ghost ship is amazing. And pretty scary. I would definitely go back and do it.
There is a SLC in Brazil, called Fire Whip, and that thing is SUPER smooth
Vekoma and Morey's spent the time and retracked the entire thing with their new track bending technology.
Rode T3 at Kentucky Kingdom a few weeks ago, my first SLC, and it was actually kinda decent. Not sure why it gets so much hate. Surprised to say I’m excited to ride more SLC’s in the future!
The ghost ship is definitely amazing. I would do anything for more parks to have attractions like this!! And it's usually opened all summer, so not just Halloween. I think it's probably closed due to staffing since it has a bunch of actors in it. I can't wait till the 29th! We will be in Wildwood for 7 nights 💜
I just love the Wildwood boardwalk, may be the best in the US!
I think I accidently entered another dimension. I never thought I'd ever hear a coaster youtuber say an SLC was GOOD!
You guys are great
Im happy to say this is the only slc I’ve ridden.
The Seaserpent was my 1st coaster when i was a kid. Ghost ship is pretty cool, usually open all season.
There used to be a haunted castle with a boat ride there. To pay tribute, they built the Ghost Ship. It's a very good walkthrough!!
Ghost Ship during Halloween time is WICKED CRAZY, during the season it is still VERY good. Very good haunt attraction, might be my favorite.
I was just there a few weeks ago, it’s so much fun!
A superb vid i love it...
Went a week and a half ago sucks I missed you guys. But oh man Moreys Piers is a great park. Just imagine if they had gotten that other wooden coaster that spanned the two piers this park would be up their with like a dorney or valleyfair
The Great Nor’Easter was the first SLC/Invert I rode and I rode it for the first time in 2019. I was blown away by how awesome it was and it was definitely better than that headbanger Batman clone at Great Adventure! The Great White’s still my favorite coaster at Morey’s Piers, but Nor’Easter is pretty damn fun!
This is the only SLC I’ve ever ridden, and I was so confused as to why everyone hated these but now I know haha
OH MAN! i was just in ocean city NJ, man it would’ve been cool to run into u guys, as wildwood is where we usually go for vacation, but tried something different this year
You two crack me up. LoL.
Ghost Ship usually isn’t just open for Halloween… I’ve only done it once and coming from someone who’s done dozens of haunts across the East Coast, it’s decently scary and pretty good… especially for a boardwalk attraction.
It used to kill you. When it first opened in 1995 I was 10. My family used to go to wildwood every year. I remember riding it as a kid it knocked my silly. They really did a great job making it a great coaster
I rode my first SLC this year. It was Limit @ Heide Park in Germany. I was worried because everybody hates on them so fiercely, so I put it off until the end of my visit. After riding it twice in a row, I thought LImit was a really fun ride. Definitely not the best at Heide Park, but far from the worst. Maybe it depends on how well they are taken care of? I officially don't have an opinion, as I have only been on one.
good ride
I rode T3 at KK back in June, and it was not as bad as all the coaster youtubers say SLC's are. I know T3 is probably one of the better maintained SLC's. It just had one downward jolt at the bottom of the first drop that was unexpected, other than feeling a little short, it was a decent ride.
On gatekeeper at Cedar Point we hit a seagull that was just standing on the track and it got stuck in my friends seat and was biting him until it flew away when we got to the break run.
12:13 That was the same ride op when I was there in late july, I was like WTF, this has to be the most unique ride op out there.
best ride ever my favorite since i was 6
im shoked rollies coaster is amazing in some moments there is some really good airtime
They use to have those water tanks at Six Flags over Georgia in the early 90s. It was a up charge to drive them and a lesser charge to use the turrets along the edges.
I always thought that SLCs have so much potential. If you try to look past the roughness and headbanging, they are usually really intense and have insane near-miss elements. I have never been on one with these trains but I wish they all were enjoyable.
Literally just rode that yesterday
I hope they continue making improvements (like they did on the SLC and the vest restraints for sea serpent), they have been talking of having gravity group work on Great White. I'd love to see some stylish timberliner trains. It would be cool if that plan spanning over a decade actually came to fruition to get a new wooden GCI coaster over piers as well (maybe wait for titan track for inversions-revise the plans a little). They also need to actually have not-overpriced or only pay attractions (as in not in a wristband or season pass) by great white as well. But the whole place has clearly improved since when I was there.
I remember I went to wildwood beach a number of years ago and I do remember going on the Ghost Ship ride at one of the piers, and when I was on it with the rest of my family the ride actually broke down and we were stuck hanging from the track. Our vehicle stopped moving and there was one behind us and it didn't stop moving and it bumped into ours. Eventually after sitting there for a little bit, there was a maintenance crew person who was standing on TOP of one of the boats heading over to fix ours and he was standing trying to fix the motor on the ride vehicle. He did fix it and we made back to the station. One experience I will never forget.
The ghost ship isn't a ride that can break down though? Do you mean the sky ride thing that goes over the ghost ship at one point?
@@ashleighnichole8197 yeah I think it was that… I don’t remember tho
I live right in between here and great adventure and Great noreaster is awesome. So ig the ghost ship
I guess the Nor’easter really is Great!
yeah
GNE was the best coaster there for a long time, if you ask me, but you've got me curious to try it now. I didn't ride it in its darker days, but it didn't have to be bad to get hate. Good coaster, great location, who would be crazy enough to build a B&M there?
Good job getting to Morey's at night.
Boomerang also got new trains and a partial retrack. I definitely recommend riding it
I love this coaster it’s my favorite coaster. It’s the smoothest coaster at Morey’s Piers. Great Nor Easter is my number one coaster. I Rember you did not like this coaster when I was rough but now it’s your number one
Not a huge selection of coasters, but glad this park is so close to me :D
Now I’m REALLY hyped for T4
Lmao
4:35 Sarah I can agree I live in New Jersey on one of our three islands.
I lived here in New Jersey my whole life I would love to go more often here
Another good one is mayan in energylandia. When i webt to poland i rode it and it was smoooooth
The ghost ship is incredible for sure come back and do it
Y'all gave me PTSD with the damn tram car lmfao
The SLC at Movie World in Australia is very smooth too
the mind eraser at sfa runs like this sometimes i guess when it has brand new wheels and it's a hot day?
i've been on it in the same seat on the same train and had both my mind erased and my mind blown depending on how it's running.
same with the boomerang at hershey
i just went on an 8 day coaster road trip and moreys was supposed to be one of our stops... we ended up going to six flags america instead
either way i rode my very first vekoma SLC and while i didn't hate mind eraser i wish we would have gone here instead 🤣
I live in wildwoods so I have ridden it it’s def- really smooth
I went to morey’s piers and was also Suprised how good Great nor’easter was it was a good ride and Rollie’s coaster I road but I definitely agree that the over the shoulder restraints didn’t make sense at all
One with SLC = Surfside Pier
One with Boomerang = Mariners Landing
One with Wooden Coaster = Adventure Pier
Love your vids Taylor I’m going to kings dominion in Halloween haunt
