Great Nor'Easter Review, Morey's Piers Vekoma Inverted Coaster | World's Best SLC!

Great Nor'Easter is the world's best Vekoma suspended looping coaster. Originally opening in 1995, this coaster was originally red and rough. Now, the coaster is white and smooth. Morey's Piers and Vekoma completely retracked this inverted coaster during the 2016/2017 offseason. And this SLC also operates with the Vekoma vest restraints that eliminate headbanging.

Salt Lake City’s abbreviation is SLC. “Departing to SLC Airport…” Coaster enthusiasts: Oh sh-

[@CanobieCoaster]

Lol

💀

[@NoLanConnection]

I rode this before the retrack. It was the first SLC I rode, I expected a B&M quality invert but instead got one of the roughest steel coasters I'd ever ridden. Good to hear they fixed it, the same should be done to all the other SLCs.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Morey's may be a unique case. Since they don't have spots to expand, they invest more in updating/fixing their current rides.

[@NoLanConnection]

​@@CanobieCoaster Unfortunately that's probably true.

[@jcspotter7322]

Unfortunately, most SLCs are at six flags parks and they most likely won't be looking to completely retrack them

[@RemixedVoice]

I have always had a soft spot for SLC's, I always just laugh the entire time because it's so ridiculously rough and wild, it feels like it's going to fall apart lmao... I always anticipate every element and keep my head still accordingly. This coaster is wonderful for those who like it smooth, which I never thought I'd say about an SLC. Also the view is objectively beautiful

[@CanobieCoaster]

I try to lean my head to one side, but it still is uncomfortable with the old restraints.

[@goofygorf1520]

It honestly reminds me of alpengeist with the colors and how it's easily one of the best inverts made by their respective manufacturer

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

i love alpenheist! its sooo underrated

[@CanobieCoaster]

The white looks good.

[@universalgames2901]

It reminds me of blue tornado at Gardaland oh wait THATS ALSO AN SLC

[@branj18]

I’ve always loved the layout of SLCs. Even some are rough, I’m glad this one took strides to completely improve it. It goes to show the layout works when it’s comfortable. It’s a layout meant to pack a punch!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree the layout always has been good.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

This coaster is very beautiful with the colors and it’s placement

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes it is.

[@goodusernamesareoverrated]

I’ve been waiting for this review ever since I got to ride it earlier this year. It is so smooth, no headbanging, and really intense. Really shows how good SLC can be

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree. It shows the layout is good.

[@bbbbbb111]

Thanks for the video. It confirms my own impression of the SLC models. I always found the layout of the coasters and the forces involved to be quite good. Unfortunately, the rough ride ruined a lot of it. I imagine being able to drive a reasonably smooth SLC as a good experience.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree the layout is fine. It's the tracking.

[@princevultan6589]

I’ve been going to Morey’s Piers since they started in 1969. I’ve ridden the Great Nor’easter since it’s installation. It got rough over the years but the care that the Morey’s organization puts into their rides and the work and upgrades they put into Nor’easter has made it one of my favorites. I also love the Sea Serpent on Mariners Landing and the Great White on Adventure pier. Morey’s is one of my favorite places to visit in the summer.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm impressed they invested to fix it.

[@andrewsstation6436]

I really like to play the RCT series, and what’s interesting is that an SLC is considered a “Compact Inverted Coaster” (probably because of how the SLC’s have a very small footprint). Thank you so much for reviewing this ride (I’ve never been on it yet).

[@ArielSupp]

So happy there's at least one SLC that is smooth! I always had a place for SLC's in my heart since in my country we have so little coasters that an SLC is one of the best in teh country, and I always thought that the layout for these coasters is so iconic and pleasing to look at, specially the roll over with that one specific angle (you probably know what angle I'm talking about 🤣) so it's nice to hear that we can see that the problem was never the layout, but the track smoothness.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's why I wish more SLCs had track replaced like this one.

[@oldchannel611]

I'm really excited for the SLC at Lost Island next year, as weird as it is to say. It's original manufacturing date was about 2-3 years newer than most SLCs in North America, it'll have Vest Restraints, plus the park owners claim they got the ride refurbished, which could potentially include minor retracking. I can't wait to see how it compares to this one.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It'll be interesting to see how smooth that one is.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

It also has the bonus helix!

[@zacdavid184]

I've long had a soft spot for GNE as an NJ native, even when it sucked. I am really glad the park has done so much to maintain and improve it, though I'm pretty damn ready for an actual new coaster. The new trains on Sea Serpent were something, though.

I hope they get that once proposed pier-spanning wooden coaster.

I might be able to ride this, this year. It looks like a fun ride, and I love the scenery.

[@CanobieCoaster]

[@athenaclark2567]

When I first rode this in 2016, it beat me up badly and it was my least favorite coaster for a while. I didn’t make it back to Morey’s Piers until last year, and I tried the new version out. It’s now a genuinely fun ride, and narrowly behind Great White as my favorite coaster in the park. What a redemption story!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm glad they invested in it.

[@mateoalvira3514]

After Bolliger & Mabillard debuted their inverted coaster in 1992, Vekoma introduced their inverted coaster, the Suspended Looping Coaster, or SLC for short. In 1994, the first Vekoma SLC was built, El Condor at Walibi Flevo. The Vekoma SLCs were cheap, compact and marketable that made many parks in the world to purchase SLCs during the 1990s and 2000s. Both the B&M inverts and the Vekoma SLCs were found by many enthusiasts as intense and snappy rides, but unlike the B&M inverts that opened as acclaimed, the Vekoma SLCs opened as...

[@CanobieCoaster]

Rough

[@mhtube01]

I rode this coaster for the first time back in 2003 or so when it still had the original pinkish red color scheme. I rode it once with my uncle and i remember how crazy the headbanging was on it. It actually made me hesitant to ride B&M inverts soon after until i discovered how much smoother and more enjoyable they were! I didn't ride it again until about 2019 or so and while i did find the ride smoother, I still wasnt impressed. The vest restraints are way better than the original bulky restraints, but some of the inversion whips on the ride are so violent they've whipped my head to the side and made my neck sore for days afterward. I've tried it a few more times since and had similar experiences. I really want to like this coaster but it seems like i can't get a good ride on it. One of the reasons why Great White is my favorite coaster at Morey's.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I enjoy the snaps and whips now that the tracking and restraints are better, but to each their own.

[@SlimFury]

This was my first SLC. I went into it back in June 2017, unware that a retrack occured, and i throughly enjoyed it. I have had either the fortune or misfortune of riding one other SLC. That was Riddler Revenge in 2021. At least there wasn't headbanging, but i found it to be shaky, but then again when I was there, 85 percent of the train was empty.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The retrack shows the layout isn't the problem.

[@julianna7309]

i rode after the renovations, and was really surprised at how genuinely smooth the coaster was. i’ll definitely have to ride again the next time i go down

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's shocking.

[@jlg77]

I've made this ride in the front seat two weeks ago. The near misses of the Great Nor'Easter are really what makes this suspended looping coaster so special. I felt like my legs were going to smash against the beams. I have never seen such a compact size roller coaster with other attractions and water park slides running through it so close! 😵‍💫

[@CanobieCoaster]

Totally agree!

[@lilith_justhere]

I remember when I first rode this coaster. It's the only SLC I've ever ridden. I specifically remember being surprised by the roughness of the coaster. It almost felt as if it was trying to rip my head off. It was still a very fun coaster ride. Hopefully I'll get to ride it again someday.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's much better now.

[@michaelfaust904]

I took my brother to Wildwood years ago for his borthday. We had the pier pass and were there in line the day the worker died from being in a restricted area at the low point. Never forget that day

[@CanobieCoaster]

Oh no!

[@willt6970]

This has me excited for Lost Island's refurbished SLC - they've bought the vest restraint trains and I'm fairly certain they've had it retracked as well. Hopefully their theming can give the visuals and near-misses of The Great Nor'Easter a run for their money next year.

[@Derangedlefty]

I don't believe they had it retracked

[@CanobieCoaster]

The new trains minimum should make it ridable.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

I have not ridden it, but I need to. I am an SLC defender, as I can appreciate them for what they offer, as it's a good layout. I love the idea of the smoother ride along with the better restraints that this one has. My favorite 2 are actually ones with the traditional restraints, that both have tracked very smooth in my experiences: Gauntlet at Magic Springs & Twisted Typhoon at Wild Adventures. Maybe the old SLCs needed to be in warmer climates to be a smooth ride. I rode Gauntlet 7x in a short time the last time I was there.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I wasn't a fan of Gauntlet. It was a little smoother than usual, but I still hate those bulky OTSRs.

[@catherinevieira7054]

This is my all time favorite rollercoaster, I didn't like the old restraints, the head banging wasnt so much of a problem back then, but they did require you to take off any earrings,and the last time I rode the great nor'easter back in 2015, I absolutely loved the vest restraints ( especially since I'm a little on the big side), but my favorite seat on the great nor'easter has to be the back row, I love when it pulls you down the hill

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer the visuals up front over any extra whip.

[@mochicaca123]

This is the only slc I’ve been on. But I loved it!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's the best SLC.

[@jaydenchrist6152]

This is DEFINITELY the best SLC it was also my 1st inverted coaster so that ride is always special to me for that reason. The ride is smooth forceful and has great elements.

[@CanobieCoaster]

And all those near misses!

[@mochicaca123]

It was my 2nd invert after one of those vekoma junior inverts at kings island!

[@WeWereInvertedVideo]

I rode the initial red version of this coaster. I also rode it once shortly after it was painted white. Sadly this was not running back in June when we visited. I've been wanting to ride this post retracking and new trains for years. I love Wildwood though, so just another reason to go back. Oddly enough, Sea Serpent at Morey's is also ultra smooth and the best Boomerang. The park takes awesome care of their rides. Great White was running so good during our visit too. Shot way up on my favorites list from my previous rides.

[@CanobieCoaster]

This ride seemed to open late quite a bit this year. Not sure why.

[@WeWereInvertedVideo]

@@CanobieCoaster We went on a week day. I just chalked it up to them not running all the rides during until the weekend.

[@boardwalker1997]

I rode this coaster before any B&M Invert and rode it post-retrack. My first ride was in 2019 and I’m glad I was scared of it all the years prior since it still had the bulky OTSRs and the rough track back then! I wasn’t ready for all those snappy transitions and was taken aback, but I loved it! I even think it’s better than the Batman clones probably because of those restraints! When you’re up on that waterslide (best slide at Morey’s btw), you can feel the wind and the whole structure shake as the coaster passes by 😬

[@CanobieCoaster]

My favorite slide at Morey's is the mat slide.

[@boardwalker1997]

@@CanobieCoaster Which one? There’s like 3 😂 The one on Mariner’s Pier has to be my favorite one of those! The other two are on Surfside Pier with the Great Nor’Easter. One is a mat racer and the other is next to the huge body slide.

[@thomasxl200]

Rode this when I was like 10 years old, before the retrack. I don't remember a thing about it. I guess it truly was the Mind Eraser... I'm definitely gonna make a quick trip to the shore to see how the retrack holds up this summer!

[@skodwardee]

@@CanobieCoaster they shoulda used their money to invest in something else and not this shit

[@davidharris176]

I rode before and after the 2017 retrack and it was a huge improvement! Before, the barrel rolls were deathly uncomfortable as the train violently shook through them. The old friction brakes jerked the train to a stop so fast that the track in the station would shake as you were sitting on the next train waiting to dispatch, but the new magnetic brakes greatly helped to smooth the quick stop. Not sure what the deal was with the lift speed last summer as it was quite slow during my visit in June, but sped up some later when I went back in August and September.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Interesting the lift motor sped up.

[@jammieauxier1274]

I've rode the great Nor' Eastern so many times I lost count now I have my granddaughter riding coasters and she was so scared but after the first time now you can't keep her off them I live rollercoaster all of them and I would also give this one a 7 outta 10. What does impress me the most is how they built this coaster so tightly between the water park also been there so many times love Wildwood ever since I was a little girl😀

It's very impressive.

They just put the new trains up on El Condor. I hope Walibi Holland decides to retrack it too. I genuinely have a soft spot for the Vekomas at Walibi since they're the very first thrill coasters I've been on.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The new restraints will help a lot, but new track would too.

[@Coyotek4]

Casino Pier in Seaside Heights is my primary 'beach' destination, but I always make at least one trip to Morey's Piers in Wildwood every year. I've ridden GN'E many times, but not recently; with the cost what it is, I often just save my money for other things (but I always do the flume ride). Oddly, I've never ridden the renovated version; I really should. Maybe in 2022. Between this, "Great White", and "Sea Serpent", Morey's Piers boasts (arguably) the best coaster collection of all beaches, and almost certainly Jersey shore beaches.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Morey's is the crown jewel of the boardwalk parks, but Gale Force is the best coaster on the shore.

[@spentron1]

You didn't talk about the view over the beach, which is why this has ALWAYS been the best SLC. Reaching the top of the lift ( 7:20 ) at night was the most amazing feeling. All 5 inversions also face out over the ocean, making it a contender for best coaster on the coast, since the otherwise better Gale Force doesn't make much use of its location. Haven't ridden GNE since it was repainted orange though. Loved it back then, once rode 25 times one night along with driving 8 hours that day. It was violent but I don't remember the shuffling where, by the end, Mind Eraser can seem to be bouncing back and forth more than it's moving forward. Of course, it was a lot more cutting edge in '96, not everyone had access to a B&M *at all* in those days and good coasters tended to be a bit painful. But even after riding Alpengiest, I wasn't convinced it was better until a night ride.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I thought I mentioned the view when I talk about the lift. I can't appreciate that view elsewhere since everything happens so fast.

[@Aurogod1]

This is the only rollercoaster I rode that has this “SLC” layout. I only went on this once and it feels like your legs will get smacked off. It’s not a MUST MUST do but it’s pretty fun.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Morey's Piers and Vekoma renovated the Great Nor'Easter, the Vekoma SLC, during the 2016/2017 offseason and it uses the new Vekoma SLC trains, with vest restraints. What do you think about the vest restraints? Do you like or love them? Did the restraints eliminate or remove a thing that most enthusiasts did not like about?

[@CanobieCoaster]

The vest restraints are good and remove headbanging.

[@mochicaca123]

The vest restraints made the ride 100x better even tho I was around 6-7 between those years

[@reminiscer15]

I rode this ride twice in 2005 and 2010 and I didn't like it due to it's roughness. I'll be going back to Wildwood in the summer of 2023 so maybe I'll give it another chance. I do remember the red track but I can see why they repainted it white since the red color appeared to be fading and didn't look too pretty. Last time I was there in 2015 the supports were white so I can see they repainted it again and it does look nicer in terms of color compared to when both the track and supports were red.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's so much better now.

Usually SLC's ride better in the back half, but it's too bad that you can't enjoy the visuals as much. I don't have the same hate for SLC's that most enthousiasts have. The basic layout is great, and I maintain that if you can find a smooth one you have a great, fast-paced, white knuckle ride on your hands. B&M simply can't match them for pacing and intensity, apart from Nemesis and maybe the Batman clones. Most beat you up pretty bad though.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree the layout is action-packed, but I need restraints that don't bash my head.

[@maxhagenauer24]

People thinking of Vekoma SLCs as bad coasters, it's been a common talk. But Great Nor Easter is one of the only if not the only to some people good SLC. Saying it's the best is big but in this case, the best is the only one that's good to a lot of people. I personally don't mind a little roughness on an SLC and I would probably be amazed riding this not knowing what to expect. Smooth but still forcefull, fantastic placement, and fun which is a hard word to achieve as an SLC.

I hope more get the same treatment.

This ride is a bit on the shorter side compared to the rides at Hershey or Six Flags but Great White is decently long. Great White is good but it is flat out rough in the one spot it’s the second turn around in 2023

[@CanobieCoaster]

The length is solid for me.

The smooth Vekoma SLC. The other Vekoma SLCs with the over the shoulder restraints I like because Terra Mítica has one operating, I rode it and I like it. But for you, the other Vekoma SLCs with the over the shoulder restraints are and were rough in the restraints, which was the worst SLC you've ever ridden? Kong at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Worst SLC is Blue Tornado.

[@mochicaca123]

@@CanobieCoasterI saw you say that in one of your videos. The restraints must of been especially painful with how hard they were.

So yeah when I rode this I was half gp/enthusiast and After riding I commented and said oh Slcs aren’t that bad but now I know

[@CanobieCoaster]

This one is a standout.

The only SLC I’ve done is infusion and that was a pile of garbage, and I doubt it helps that was relocated from soulthport. I hope it gets the retrack treatment and new trains

[@CanobieCoaster]

That one has beautiful visuals, but the ride is rough.

[@twistedcoasters1533]

Yes it’s gorgeous to look at offride. Which is where you should be

[@mateoalvira7826]

I like Vekoma SLCs. Do you like all SLCs?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Not all of them.

[@KingstonComposer]

How about Odyssey in the UK?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I haven't ridden that one. But I'm intrigued since it's bigger and has a custom layout.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

How many wooden coasters did you find in the world as torturous experiences?

[@CanobieCoaster]

The ones on my worst coaster list are the best examples. Hell Cat at Clementon in the back is another bad one.

[@StamfordBridge]

I agree that this is the best SLC, but it still had a strong rattle when I rode it in the summer of 2019.

[@coasternerd6883]

I’d rather have a rattle than headbanging

You could possibly hit the other rider with some of those transitions.

[@arturobianco848]

I need to ride this i happen to like well maintained SLC even with the bulky restraines (ok the vest ones are ussually better). You can't do to many rides without a break but they do have the punch i like in a coaster, but then i ussually find the hyper coaster a bit boring so maybe i'm just weird 🙄.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I don't enjoy any of the SLCs with the bulky restraints myself.

[@gemmachaos]

You'll probably find that many people will agree with you. Not many rides can rival an SLC for pacing and intensity, and many hypercoasters are slow-paced by default anyway.

[@rossh688]

I was very skeptical before riding it in 2020. Who would have thought I would actually WANT to ride an SLC 2 times in one day?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I want to ride this one more.

[@lansulin]

what about Mayan

[@CanobieCoaster]

That one has comparable smoothness, but it doesn't have the extra headchoppers with the slide tower and buildings nearby.

Torturous, what does that mean?

Went on one of the supposed worst slc’s infusion but it wasn’t that bad no headbanging for me and my brother even my dad who should be affected more by roughness didn’t have any headbanging I’m convinced only enthusiasts who complain get hurt by slcs

This is way better than Infusion. Infusion is one of the better ones though.

@@CanobieCoaster it’s not that rough it would be great to have a retrack as it would smooth out some of the rough spots and maybe extend the trains when getting new trains but I don’t know if that is possible
