Top New Jersey Amusement Parks | US States Ranked

[@coasterdaddy7123]

I'm surprised I haven't seen more top NJ parks videos! Thanks for doing this. I will definitely keep it in mind whenever I get there.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Maybe it's because a lot of these parks aren't destination parks, but I've managed to go to all of them over a few trips.

[@coasterdaddy7123]

@@CanobieCoaster which is awesome. I didn't realize just how many of them there were in NJ. I knew there were a lot, but there are more than I realized.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's hard to justify visiting them over Six Flags or the PA parks coming from a distance but the beach towns are cool if you're closer. I love Ocean City and Wildwood.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

That Squadrun 33 ride is absolutely insane the hang time is also wild

[@CanobieCoaster]

I love that ride!

[@zack9777]

Keansburg is undergoing a renovation in the offseason

[@CanobieCoaster]

Cool!

[@IIFALCONSNESTII]

Growing up in the early to mid 80’s 80-86 our family would go to Keansburg and Asbury Park every year. It was our summer day vacation spot. Some of my happiest childhood memories are KB and AP. I’m sorry things weren’t up to snuff at Keansburg though. I swear, in its heyday, it would rival Seaside at times. Hopefully the renovations that were done restore at least some of its glory. Please give it another try if/when the renovations ever get fully completed. I promise it will not disappoint.

@@boomerangreverse3267 I stand corrected. I knew it was overseas somewhere.

[@TRAYTRAYOLAY9]

Thank you for this. I live in NYC and never heard of half of these

[@CanobieCoaster]

You're welcome!

[@StamfordBridge]

Great video! I don’t think I’ve seen a countdown of all the Jersey parks. I haven’t been to Nick U. yet, but I agree with the placement of the other top three, and generally with the descriptions of all the parks.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I knew NJ had a lot of boardwalk parks, but I was still surprised how many there were in total. It's a quantity state.

[@StamfordBridge]

Canobie Coaster Yet I somehow managed to do all the Shore parks (and Storybook Land) in two days. Don’t think I’ll ever have that number of parks in a day again.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Morey's is the hardest one to do in a short amount of time. They have a lot of good rides and the piers spaced out.

[@StamfordBridge]

Canobie Coaster Yeah, I spent the most time there by far compared to any of the others. I planned it so it would be the last one of the two days, and I stayed at a hotel right on the beach in AC so I could stay late at the piers.

[@luvaisha9654]

When I went to Clemson Parkin the summer like 2019 I think I wanted to go on those water rides where ur like in a capsule and the floor just lets go and it’s a slide but it was shut down cuz some kid had a head injury cause they wanted to go out at the last second

[@CanobieCoaster]

Those drop slides are fun.

[@frenchlick2051]

Thank you for reaffirming my decision to skip most of these parks in favor of the Pennsylvania ones.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The Pennsylvania parks are definitely deeper, but I'm glad I visited these parks because of their locations.

[@Juggernaut49859]

Moreys piers is my favorite. The ride operators are always nice and moreys has good roller coasters. Also, Moreys is easily the best on this list to visit at night time Your list was good👍🏻

[@CanobieCoaster]

I love the staff there.

[@vincentmarzano6981]

It is literally the funnest place on earth

[@Juggernaut49859]

@@vincentmarzano6981 Only problem is theres a lot of gangs of kids on the boardwalk that start trouble but besides that its fantastic

[@CoasterHorizons]

I live in jersey! The parks here that I’ve been to are sfgav, funplex, gillians wonderland pier, and storybook land. I have all of the six flags creds, the gillians wonderland pier wacky worm (and the rare defunct l&t compact coaster named “runaway train”) the sbf spinning mouse at funplex, and no credits at storybook land since I went a long time ago. I live about an hour from storybook land and gillians wonderland pier, about 30 mins from sfgav, and about 10 mins from funplex. Do you have the gillians runaway train rare cred?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes I rode that back in 2017! I was sad to see they removed it.

[@CoasterHorizons]

Canobie Coaster yeah me too. Plus, gillians used to have a city jet, zamperla wild mouse, zamperla mini mouse, and wisdom miner mike. Oh yeah, and another fanume wacky worm. Some credits that I wish I had but whatever. I wish they had the city jet the most.

[@CoasterHorizons]

*fa jump not fanume

[@CoasterHorizons]

Omg I hate autocorrect I mean FAJUME

[@mitchellries256]

Right now the only parks on my list in this state are Six Flags Great Adventure and Nickelodeon Universe. There are a few parks on the Jersey Shore that do intrigue me a little bit such as Morey's Piers, Playland's Castaway Cove and Casino Pier so I might consider those for a vacation someday as well.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The boardwalk towns like Wildwood and Ocean City have some fun things to offer like mini golf, arcades, and boardwalk food as well.

[@Namath1000]

This was a great video. Thanks for posting it. I do like Keansburg, though, even though your criticism of it was entirely valid. If you were to rate them based more on the food choices, Keansburg would be higher.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I didn't have any meals while at Keansburg since there wasn't much reason for me to stick around with all the rides closed.

[@ralphjinks9651]

Cool list!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@jacobmcgwire2704]

Number one was obvious but it was cool to see the boardwalk parks ranked.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The boardwalk parks aren't destination parks, but they have cool vibes...for the most part.

[@iandobkin2323]

Is wild wave better than hurricane at fun spot?, because both are made by same manufacturer.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I think Wild Waves is smoother, but I prefer the extra intensity of Hurricane.

[@mooshiros7053]

why has this dude from new Hampshire been to more parks in my home state than I have btw I'm not hating or anything I'm just depressed your videos are great keep it up

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@westcoastcoasters4292]

How many of these can be done in a day?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Depends if you're there for just credits or the entire park/boardwalk. You can be in and out of most of the boardwalk/smaller parks in an hour or less if you only want one ride on each coaster.

[@danielmkubacki]

Nice!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@xavierschroder2670]

Haven't heard of some of the smaller places but the top 3 was obvious.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The boardwalk parks are neat for their atmosphere.

[@ceaserri]

My fav has to be six flags great adventure and land of make believe only because it was my childhood park I remember begging my mom to take the 2 hour drive there

[@CanobieCoaster]

Makes sense.

[@Coyotek4]

Back in the early-80s, my parents would take me to Keansburg. It's just not recognizable anymore, when compared to its heyday. Very sad. I go to Seaside regularly during the summer (only once in 2020, though), so my bias tends towards Casino Pier. It's a shame that Funtown Pier never recovered from the fire that destroyed it one year after Superstorm Sandy damaged it.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Casino Pier is everything Keansburg should be.

[@michellegade9021]

Have you been to Action Park/Mountain Creek?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I wanted to go this year, but decided to hold off with the attractions limited.

[@ChocoTaco1111]

[@bukemdukem1870]

Yeah i live less than a mile from jenkinsons and it has been my childhood place ever since i was a kid. And my forst job was at casino pier in 2019 where i worked the games, which i met a lot of nice people. But yeah i think moreys is the place with the best atmosphere and for a bw park has the best ride lineup of any bw park out there.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It really helps that Morey's has so much space available.

[@bukemdukem1870]

@@CanobieCoaster yeah i can imagine them adding a big expansion with a ton of rides and another big coaster along with it, like that rumored gci

[@stardustrelaxation2059]

1. Casino pier and 2.Morey's piers!

Hot take liking Casino Pier over Morey's.

I went to casino pier and play lands castaway cove before it got gale force and I was not impressed by either parks in the slightest bit

Neither are full day parks, but they're good places to spend a few hours.
