    GaleForce is an incredible ride, and my favorite at this park. I wasn't expecting the airtime to be as violent as it was, and I enjoyed every second of it! I prefer it to all but two coasters at Great Adventure. Tidal Wave is this park's hidden gem. All throughout that little ride I was laughing with joy due to all the airtime.

    The Double Shot has aways been my favorite. While Gael Force may be the new premier ride; Double Shot is still the face of the park to me given how long it has been there and how many years it spent as the top ride on the OC boardwalk. I'm actually bummed they put a new tower in; I know it looks very similar but the color scheme was so much cooler on the old one.

    I loved it here when I went, I went when they had Python I think abd I went when Gale Force was under construction, I wish I can rode it next time I go. Wild Waves also seems fun because E&F Milers are pretty cool, especially how it interacts with galefoce in such a small space.

    Though Gillian's wheel is taller, it has been closed all year. I find Playland's wheel to have the better lighting package, which is why I think it looks very pretty. Also, Tropical Storm has been relocated to Steel Pier in nearby Atlantic City, so it is not gone. Then even though Tidal Wave looks like a fun ride, my only problem is that it is just simply too loud. Granted the S&S Double Shot is also very audible, I don't find it as loud as Tidal Wave.

    I really wanted to try Tidal Wave, but the long lines prevented that. The park was wall-to-wall people, so it was hard to tell what was the spill-out of a line and what was people trying to walk. I got the credits and got out of there. I'm sure it's not as crowded by day, but I spent all afternoon & early evening at Moreys Piers.

    I've only been to Ocean City a handful of times, and none have been memorable. Sadly, I waited just a bit too long for getting on Tropical Storm; it was removed the year before I first visited. To make matters worse, I didn't take the opportunity to ride "Storm", another flatride that I knew better from my visits to the MN State Fair; that ride was pulled the following year, when I gave the place another shot. But worst of all, every time I've visited I was told that "Galeforce" wouldn't open before 7pm, which is far later than I ever stay at any place, Jersey shore or otherwise. To this day, I still haven't gotten on GF, and I may never do so.
