Great Nor'Easter transformation pictures...update !! Feb 7th

I guess so.  That's one Vekoma that I never rode, and it looks like I'll have to.  I'm a sucker for lights and things.

^what do you mean you've never ridden the Nor'Easter  :shock: ?!?! How can you even call yourself a NJ coaster enthusiast without ever having been on her :lol:? J/K I'm messing with you.

[rjholla2003]

Feel free to bash.  I rode every other coaster there (Yes, RC-48 and Flitzer too), but I didn't ride Nor' Easter.  I don't know what kind of crack I was smoking that day, but I still kick myself for not riding it.  And I don't use the fact that I was barely into roller coasters as an excuse either. :lol:

It's ok RJ, I've never even been there. It doesn't mook that great to me, but it is always good to get a few new rides in! Great White looks like the best ride there.

As for the Nor Easter, the colors look bad... :shock:

the Nor'Easter is probaly the best SLC I ever rode and I rank it above Great Bear.

If you haven't been to Wildwood I urge you to go...its classic NJ.  It's a part of history.  Its just a classic boardwalk.  Great White is the best coaster, and it is one hell of a coaster at that.  New Jersey summers wouldnt be the same without wildwood.

agreed.  I spent alot of time there over my childhood summers.  I couldnt tell you how many times i have rode great white and nor easter.  I enjoy both very much.  The nor easter is pretty wild.. regardless of its roughness.  Many people dont like it.. and i say its a shame for them.  That just means shorter lines for me!

I love Wildwood as well. it's a shame i didn't discover it earlier when they still had some of the other wood and steel coasters there, like Flyer, Kamikaze, and Screem Machine. I missed out on quite a bit .

Having been lucky enough to have travelled far and wide, allow me to join in with those putting in a good word for Wildwood.  I've been there many times.  It's about a 10 hour trip for me, and I think it is well worth it.

I can't imagine living anywhere near NJ and rejecting Wildwood merely from looking at pictures, without ever having gone there.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but, Nor Easter is ultimately going to end up all white!

I don't know how I miss your last post Di, but I was in wildwood today check it out . I only have time for one picture the rest will be up when I get home . Other things to look for are the replacing wood on Great white and new primer on Sea serpent. Back around 10:30 to finish, sorry.





more later gotta run!!!

Wow, Great Nor'Easter looks crazy. I dont know I actually like it a little.

[Cyclonic]

It looks nice and all, but the all white color scheme is just a little bland to me.

According to some of my "sources" the reason for painting it all white is so that they can have different light shows on the ride at night... this is an awesome idea IMO, even though it will look rather boring and bland in the daylight.

Here's to hoping the trackwork done on Great White helps put it back in my favorites list!

If they are going to do the light shows taht might be really really awsome, since most of MP's patronage comes at night.  I think it looks too bland, and it matches too well.  Sea Serpant is already white, and the pink just made it stick out so much better.

LOL, you are correct. I heard it from someone earlier today, and they told me to keep quiet. I read their site after I posted this and realized it was already public... strange??  :lol:

It's ok though, thank you for trying to correct me.
