Great White Review, Morey's Piers CCI Wood Coaster | Is it Actually Great?

Great White is the Custom Coasters International wooden roller coaster at Morey's Piers. This coaster starts on Adventure Pier before navigating the main layout on the sandy beach. This is a rarely talked about CCI, but it has a great setting and several enjoyable elements.

    This is the coaster that made me an enthusiast! I'll never forget the very first time I rode it. I was 9, and the Spongebob episode "Roller Cowards" was just released, so it gave me the courage to take on my first extreme coaster! Great White will always have a place in my heart.

    The thing that suprised me the most was the pacing. I rode Great White this past summer, and the last time I'd ridden it was like 6 or 7 years ago, so I went in with no expectations. And as soon as the drop hit and the train was going through the layout, I was shocked how fast this ride was running, it felt out of control.

    The final turnaround was retracted for this year and is now the smoothest part of the ride. I think they increased the banking of it a little bit too and the trains take it with noticeably more speed than they used to. I got about 7 rides on Great White yesterday and it’s running as well as I ever remember. Hose two valleys you mentioned are really the only bumpy parts but even so they’re not bad. The coaster is very rerideable. I enjoyed my front row rides but I think the back is my favorite. All in all this is a fun coaster with some of the best views you’ll find anywhere. Riding at night gives you spectacular views of the other piers when you’re climbing the lift hill and have a little time to look around.

    Just got to ride this during the Coastin' by the Ocean event, and this is REALLY the time to ride the Great White. No lines, it's late at night so the ride's warmed up and riding at max speed, and best of all, it's with all the lights turned off! The tunnel is pitch black, and the whole ride on the beach with only the moon's glow on the water is just fantastic. Rode it again the next day in the sunlight and it was barely the same ride lol! The last half hour of ERT I just sat in the second last row, never having to leave my seat since no one was in line. It really elevated the experience of this fun ride into a GREAT one!

    See your older video of top CCI roller coasters (2020), Canobie Coaster said: Number 18: Great White at Morey's Piers. This is another coaster that could have been higher, but the operators were stapling riders to no end, making it hard to experience the airtime. I did however love the ride's setting on the beach and the laterals.

    Morey's actually did the skip a train thing to us last year on the final rides of the night. We wanted a front seat ride and back seat ride. We could have rode 4 times or so had we not waited, or they had not skipped the trains. And I'm almost certain that the tunnel didn't have lights on when we went.

    The biggest reason I don't hit this coaster on every trip to Wildwood is location; this coaster is fairly far away from similar attractions (including all the other coasters). That said, I do enjoy this coaster a lot. Long ago, Wildwood had another woodie ... but it was taken away some time ago. So ... 7 for GN'E and 7 for GW. I doubt the third of the triumvirate (Sea Serpent) will rate so high, but I'm curious all the same.

    Amazing review, but I'd have to respectfully disagree with, when it comes to being the best coaster at moreys. The best is the great nor Easter, in my opinion. I think the great white gets billed as the best by a lot of people so I know I'm in the minority here. I just think it's overrated because of how rough it is and how little it does. The turnarounds are repetitive. I do enjoy the camel humps or bunny hops as well as the ascent up the lift hill, as it's the only coaster with a climb where the rider has a full visual range. These bright spots just aren't enough to compensate for where the coaster lacks.
