The Great White is a sit-down wooden/steel roller coaster made and built by Custom Coasters International.Great White (Morey's Piers)
It first opened on June 10, 1996 with 2 trains from the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The original trains were replaced by GCI Millennium Flyer trains for the 2025 season. Riders are arranged 2 across in 12 rows for a total of 24 riders per train.
The ride starts by dropping into a tunnel beneath the boardwalk. After exiting the tunnel, the ride climbs up the 110-foot lift hill before dropping 100 feet at a 50-degree-angle, reaching a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). The ride then goes off the boardwalk and towards the beach, entering an elevated 225° swooping turn over the beach. The track then dives down into a turning drop, rising up to a flat 225° turn around. Another diving and swooping turn brings the train parallel to the first turn, and thence parallel to the lift hill. A series of three short airtime hills provide strong pops of ejector airtime, before rising up into a double-up into another flat turn around. The train makes one final turning drop and 90° before entering the brake run perpendicular to the lift hill and station.Rollercoasters! Wildwood, NJ
This ride was built over the beach because Morey's Piers ran out of room on the pier.A Morey's Story This ride is being constantly checked out by inspectors and has its track replaced frequently. This is one of the three 100+ feet coasters at Morey's and the only one that is a hybrid coaster.Doo Wop Preservation League Forum - Wildwood, NJ - Aug. 17 to 21st, 2011 with PicsClimbing The Great White - YouTube The ride has been retracked by Martin & Vleminckx.
