The Great White wooden roller coaster at Morey's Piers, Wildwood, New Jersey, is getting new trains that reduce shuffling and will offer a smoother and more thrilling ride when it returns to the Wildwood boardwalk next summer.
Upgrades are underway for the wooden roller coaster, which opened in 1996. Morey's Piers has acquired two new Millennium Flyer trains, each featuring 12 two-person cars bearing a single axle. This bit of engineering allows the train to "more fluidly adapt to the track's curves," according to a release, and reduces shuffling that can make for a rougher ride.
The Millennium Flyer train is made by Great Coasters International, Inc., a roller coaster design company based in Sunbury, Pennsylvania.
Morey's Piers says the roller coaster upgrades will be completed by spring 2025.
