Dang near read "Jersey hore" for a second

[@Coyotek4]

One quick thing: next time you get to Morey's PIer, you *have* to do the log flume. IMO one of the best around!

[@BarryGGould]

the only log flume ive ever been on that had a belt driven dispatch system as opposed to a turntable. the ride itself is great 👍👍

[@noahkessler5500]

My personal favorite one

[@ravanger5345]

its so long and it goes under the boardwalk my personal favorite log flume is the one at knoebels

[@Donald38]

@juiceboxer100 it was open for me

[@mochicaca123]

I loved it!

[@alexbrown2696]

9:54 Morey's Piers loves stapling the heck out of riders on every ride. Even if you staple yourself, the ops will find a way to staple you even more.

[@jamesspinelli6524]

Yes total agreement I went today and got so stapled on great white

[@EastCoasters]

Ahh the Jersey shore. From first pumping at Karma, fist fighting at surf club, back to filming my awesome little hometown coasters. 🎥 Love this video Chris 🥃

[@davidtran9130]

Love your POVs

[@EastCoasters]

@@davidtran9130 Thanks man 🤌🏽

[@CanobieCoaster]

I got the ride experience you described on Great White in 2016. Thankfully my 2021 rides had the lap bar in a more normal position for this type of train. There is some airtime to be had.

[@TheDrawingPerson19]

Hi canobie coaster I’m a big fan

[@_synix_2620]

Jersey is that place you wanna be, especially in Wildwood with a good beach as well as some great coasters

[@Cje_-yj8ov]

As someone who prefers wild and out of control rides, I reeeeeeaaaaaaaally wanna get on GaleForce

[@CoastingwithCulture]

It's a fantastic ride! It feels think it's trying to toss you all the way out of the park, and probably would if it wasn't for the restraints! - Gary

[@CoastersAndWater]

It’s really good, crazy transitions and ejector

[@johnscimone4505]

Best part of my Thursdays!! Airtime thrills!

[@Wesley-76]

This is a cool concept. I liked hearing about coasters that don't seem to get talked about much. I appreciate this more because I enjoy riding kiddie/family coasters and ranking them in my list rather than brushing them off. Sometimes they surprise you (like Whistle Punk Chaser). Sounds like you had a fun and hectic time! Also enjoy Boomerangs/SLCs if they're smooth, like the ones at Wild Adventures. But an intense SLC? 👀 Also the video was pretty funny, nice job!

[@tomfrombrick]

I'm very fortunate to live on the jersey shore. Great adventure is 40 mins away too. Part of the reason I love coasters haha Great video as always

[@desireedomer6571]

As a native New Jerseyean, the Wildwood tramcar goes “Watch the Tramcar please”. Also, you forgot to go to Point Pleasant, just up the road from Seaside Heights. Their spinning coaster is cute

[@Bass_Goat53]

Galeforce is the only coaster I've ever ridden that I can't get back on immediately after. I've picked up a decent amount of major credits on the east coast like El Toro, VelociCoaster, and Mako, and I've been able to ride them multiple times in a row no problem. Galeforce makes me feel dizzy just by riding it once, and I'd probably get sick if I rode it twice in a row.

[@amusementscape]

I think the atmosphere beats out the coasters at the boardwalks for me but Gale Force & Hydrus, plus the overall quality of Morey’s piers is worthy of a trip

[@anthonydoswelljr.4292]

Video enjoyed. Between New Jersey tolls and the individual costs for the coasters those expenses add up. Nor Easter and Galeforce will be on the list for my 2022 bucket list. I plan on doing a Cedar Fair tour beginning in the spring. Keep up the good work.

[@btk22279]

You can get a wrist band at Morey's instead of paying for rides individually.

[@_T0ri_]

Love, love, LOVE gale force! It’s so thrilling and I forced my friends to go on it with me and they loved it! It’s so interesting and really makes your stomach drop at some points

[@chargedonpc9989]

I've been looking forward to this video because gale force is my #3 and the most intense I have been on

[@killerasaurusrex445]

Love the content keep it up!

[@josephcampbell4543]

I'm an NJ local and I got so exited when I saw this video

[@xri0tt]

I remember some great memories riding the Runaway Train at Gillian’s. I really miss that ride :,)

[@lunarstain7545]

YES! MY HOME TOWN COASTER! Gale Force is an absolute beauty! I wish I knew you were in town! So glade you loved Gale Force!

[@Coyotek4]

I've been going to Seaside Heights (and as such, Casino Pier) my entire life. Totally agree that that 'Pirate' coaster should be dead last. Long ago (like, late-80s), there was the "Love Bug": basically the same ride, but at least the inside was totally in the dark (and there was a loud horn to give a jump scare at one point). Also, the theme was, like, totally psychedelic. I'd probably put Hydrus above Great Nor'easter, but it's close.

[@thegerm574]

Very nice video and great idea. I might have to steal this idea for a future video. Let me know next time your in the NY/NJ area.

[@travisvanalst4698]

Gale Force is the one coaster that’s been the most difficult for me to get on, and it’s my most sought after. I mainly am only able to take long weekends off so it’s hard to justify the money to go to one super small boardwalk park. But I hope to get out there to do them all one day!

[@mattyoconnor3784]

Gotta say, pinfari looping coasters will always have a soft spot for me (along with its many rough hard spots) as my first loop!

[@Spiderific]

Love the coasters on Morey's Piers. 👍

[@hithersinger8727]

Good job man

[@princesskristan]

The Situation edit had me screaming! That was funny

[@JerseyDevils21]

Yessir, Jersey represent!! Glad you didn't ride Looping Star at Keansburg, way rougher than wildcat!

[@jackcapell8471]

Your rant on stapling is so true tho. I went to Florida a month ago and paid an arm and a leg to go to Universal and ride Velocicoaster got a quick queue and got stapled everytime. Literally begged the ride opp the last ride to not staple me. She looked at me like a robot and stapled me. God damnit I just want my airtime!

[@coastersinperspective807]

Galeforce was the first coaster I rode after coming out of quarantine, and it was *great.*

[@michaelpatten315]

"$25 to ride the ferris wheel, that's not bad" That is insane.

[@Ryan-ht2ld]

If you ever get back to Morey’s, definitely get a ride on the log flume. It’s probably the best one I’ve ever been on.

[@hunterhelfrich1270]

I got a ride on GaleForce right after the retracking, great ride

[@jameslitwin5635]

I went to Wildwood with my family in 2011 when I was still afraid of roller coasters. To date, my only Jersey credits are Sea Serpent, Doo Wooper, and the now defunct Flitzer at Morey's. Back then, Flitzer and Doo Wooper were both in Runaway Tram's plot. Good to know DW sucks, I had no idea lol

[@ippolit4262]

Great White definitely has air time when not being stapled however that first drop under the boardwalk literally hospitalized me lol

[@AC98000]

Thanks for the dinner reminder

[@Coyotek4]

Good luck getting on Galeforce during the daytime; last time I went, that ride didn't open until 7pm. I'm guessing that's all due to staffing issues, so maybe in 2022 it will be possible. Until then, that's the one 'big' coaster I haven't yet ridden at the JS.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Yeah thats exactly why i went to moreys first

[@rmarrerogirard]

It was open this past Saturday during the day.

[@TheCoasterCraze]

I rode front row and I still got a couple wild ejector hills toward the end of Wild Waves. Those lap bars allow standing airtime on the last couple hills ngl

[@xtlm]

I just rode the Gale Force for the first time this week. It was great! No line thanks to the offseason. It's an underrated gem that not many people mention. They could put these things anywhere it's so small, especially since they have the kinks worked out. Shame it's 10 bucks a pop tho lol.

[@KMakoENVtuber]

As a local, thank you for this coverage. You also should’ve checked out some of the boardwalk food…manco/macks/macks and mancos/Mancos and mancos is the best pizza you can get on the boardwalk

[@CoasterJawn]

Love this list! Glad you finally got to these parks. I loved the pirates hideaway bit, that thing is such a piece of junk. It’s a shame you got stapled on Great White bc it’s actually pretty solid. Also “Jillian’s” lol I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced GILL-ians, for future reference. Alright, long winded comment over.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Ah ha...GILLians..i never even considered that lol

[@fo-ef8qo]

I love how some of these coasters legit look like what I made on rollercoaster tycoon to save space

[@floridamaddogg]

Hydrus and Galeforce are two on my list I want to ride. I'm still trying to get over the praise you were giving an SLC😂.....I usually have nightmares of SLCs after visting certain Six Flags parks.

[@metropod]

9:05 It's still a boomerang... That's still damning by faint praise.

[@SadlerStudios]

I’m going to lagoon next month this park has pretty nice coasters

[@mitchellries256]

These are the three Jersey Shore parks I'd have the most interest in visiting. I think I could do Casino Pier and Playland's Castaway Cove on the same day depending on how far apart they are from each other but I'd probably need a full day at Morey's Piers because it consists of three seperate piers and they have more things to do there than each of the other two piers combined.

[@kenepo4u496]

If you get the chance to go to Galaxyland, I suggest you make a video ranking the Triple Five coasters.

[@northlandwiffle]

That thumbnail though 😂

[@jordonfreeman166]

I was expecting a Jersey Shore reference sometime in the video due to the title, and sure enough, a few references to the show in the video, even though I’ve never seen it.

[@maddierose7938]

You need to buy the Morey's tickets over the winter. Normally there is a sale around Christmas and they are almost 1/2 price. We get the 250 tickets card for $150.00. Still not cheap but better than paying the summer rates.

[@eEeEqw]

You should do a video putting all the parks at Missouri, Pennsylvania or something else against each other

Id be interested in a video where you rank the Vekoma SLC’s, i like discovering the daimonds in that big rough

[@AirtimeThrills]

Thats a tricky one. Maybe ill make that a youtube short

[@jacobadelsheimer9645]

I literally did the exact same thing as you a week after you did it. I went to all 3 parks in 2 days. GaleForce is by far the best boardwalk coaster.

[@VarietyEntertainmentStudios]

Never been to New Jersey. But these piers look kinda hype to be totally honest

[@SiebayPlays]

Gale force and Hydrus are always being talked about and for good reasons, but Great Nor’easter is the one I’m most excited to see.

[@elizabethmones594]

I think playland should do something for Halloween like on a Hersheypark dark night scale with scare actors because of those crowds

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I’ve been to all of these parks except the other one in Ocean City

[@hungryjack1372]

I’ve only been able to ride two SLCs in my life, and they both had the new vests restraints. Cant wait to ride the normal SLCs that everyone hates.

[@jameslitwin5635]

i've also only done 2. but i have the opposite problem, they were T3 and Flight Deck lol

[@TheLazySleeperLives]

Nor' Easter surprised me when I rode it. Hate the Batman Ride at Great Adventure but Nor' Easter is one of my favorite coasters I've ridden

[@EnoughRhetoric]

Totally sold me on skipping the Jersey shore. #1 hurting is pretty bad. At least they still have El Toro at inland.

[@serenityxuqu9432]

went on the hamster wheel today at jersey shore casino piers, it was awesome.

[@charliemartin2145]

Yeah!!!!

[@falloutfan6649]

I think if it’s possible putting El Loco model trains on Gale Force would be a great idea. You’ll get amazing airtime with those. El Loco at Adventuredome was pretty insane so with the crazy angles on Gale Force with those trains you’d be sent flying out of your seat

[@AirtimeThrills]

YES that would be amazing

[@camrynrose4360]

You definitely need to re-ride Great White at Moreys!! Go for the back row and pray you don’t get stapled, the air time can be honestly rediculous. And thats coming from someone who’s favorite woody is El Toro. Got to ride Great White this year after a rain shower and it was HAULING

[@camrynrose4360]

i go to wildwood every year for vacation. So I can attest to them caring for their rides. Nor’easter used to be horribly migraine inducing. The year they retracked it was the best ride I have ever gotten. Sea Serpent was always known for being a smoother boomerang. And Great White had some track work done over the pandemic, it was so much smoother this year!

[@me-myself-i787]

7:10 It took me a little while to realise you were being sarcastic. Olympia Looping at Winter Wonderland was about £10, and Phoenix at Knoebels is $4.50.

[@ravanger5345]

i actually got to go on the runaway train at gillians wonderland pier its pretty decent

[@centraljerseycoasters7997]

Moreys is great and nor’easter is amazing

[@danielmkubacki]

Great White does have airtime on the bunny hills.

[@loganarnoldkicks4321]

Honestly, I'd be more hyped to go to the T-Shirt shop from Jersey Shore than I would be for the coasters 😂

[@Spiderific]

It's at the Seaside Heights boardwalk 😜

[@rockit.]

It took me a solid minute to realize the thumbnail Jersey was a S, and it wasn’t Jersey Hore

[@AirtimeThrills]

Shore Shot on casino pier uses the same thing

[@urbex_coasters]

I haven't been to Casino Pier but I've been to the other 2 parks. My top 5 from the Jersey Shore would be: 5. Sea Serpant 4. Great Nor'Easter 3. Wild Waves 2. Great White 1. Gale Force *note, this trip wasn't just the Jersey Shore, I also did Adventurepark USA, Jolly Roger at the Pier (the only Ocean City Maryland park open), and Funland (no coasters but an awesome dark ride that's essentially a suspended version of Knobles Haunted Mansion and a Paratrooper with a very rare backwards setting and awesome views of the ocean). Wildcat at Adventurepark (formerly at BGW and Williams Grove Park, lots of awesome history) probably edges out Sea Serpant for me when ranking the whole trip, Morbid Manor (yes that's a credit) would take the #7 spot, beating out the other purely family coasters. As a dark ride, it sucks. You want a good dark ride, go to Funland. As a coaster though, gravity pretzels are rare and I rank it favourably. Painful thrill coasters like the Zamperla Windstorm at Adventurepark and Looping Star at Jolly Roger would probably take #8 and #9.

[@CoastingwithCulture]

If you save Morey's Piers for a separate day, you can potentially hit all of the other Jersey Shore coasters in the same day. I almost did that one day during the week before Labor Day, starting from the North and heading South. There were a few missed coasters that were closed, but it still seems manageable if you focus on getting the coasters (and maybe a select additional ride or two). The vlog I recently posted ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmOthmyKatB8rNk ) shows the order I went for, and shares which coasters were hit and which were missed in case anyone is curious to know. - Gary

[@teamweavertv]

You must have ridden Doo Wopper on one of the ride’s best operator’s off days this summer 😂

[@teamweavertv]

He also worked on Dante’s some nights so that could’ve also been why you missed him 😂

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

5:57 yeah, rcdb counts all relocations as new credits even if the coaster moves to another section of the park.
