To anyone who hasn’t been on this ride, the tunnel at the beginning always catches me off guard with how fast and loud it is. One of my favorite starts to any coaster
I was there in the late nineties when the guy broke the record for how many times riding the great white. they kept announcing it over the intercom across-the-board locks I think it was 114.
@@JackHanington Yeah, but they let dude keep goin for free to break the record so they and the rider could both have a win. Rider gets a trophy, coaster gets a record monument which will make people want to break it, which gains the park more money. But. R.I.P. after the hurricane.
Pleasure Beach Experience this place is a lot of fun three boardwalks full of rides for one ultimate price plus tons of arcades and attractions across the entire boardwalk It was the summer vacation spot when I was just a little kid
I take it that this is Wildwood. Was going here in the 60's when I was a little kid. Things have changed so much since then. I miss the smells and the sounds from back then. I remember when there was at least 3 movie theaters on the boardwalk. They used to have a shooting gallery too where you could shoot .22 caliber rifles. And the Casino Arcade was awesome. You could win some awesome prizes at the gaming wheels.
Thank goodness for these videos. Can't visit right now but can still watch it. I've been on this a few times over the past 18 years. It was a lot of fun.
My first credit and still one of my favorites! 7 y/o going up the chain lift while watching Dennis Anderson aka Grave Digger, doing donuts just south on the beach. Classic!
My favorite coaster of all time. My family and I had a tradition of counting how many times in a row we could go on (I think the official record was 20 or so). And it was always at night, so this pov is a new experience for me
It's a solid woodie, definitely doesn't get enough attention. You get some great views on it and it delivers some good airtime and laterals while giving a pretty smooth ride. Definitely my favorite coaster at Wildwood!
I'm an enthusiast, and I will talk about it. Anyone else wanna join my new club? We'll make an acronym. G.R.E.A.T. Gay Rat Enthusiasts Are Texas...ok nevermind scrap that idea.
problem with that is the great white doesnt need to be rmc'd its a good fun ride just as it is. now a ground up rmc hybrid called megalodon im totally down for 👍👍
Wildwood is the best beach and fun town for all ages in NewJersey. So much to do there. I enjoy bringing my children there year after year. Nice water parks and Free beaches. Tons of food and rides and games.
I'd never heard of this ride before. I went to Moreys mostly for Nor'easter. But this thing is an absolute sleeper surprise. I originally hit it just for the credit, but ended up doing 3 more rides in a row. It's just a solid, fun ride.
Great White would be a perfect candidate to get RMC’d!! Think about it, the pre-lift would be amazing, a dip down into an underground tunnel filled with aggressive curvy bunny hills like found on Hakugei. The first drop would be steeper between 75-80 degrees. The lift hill would be a little steeper to make the height/drop taller by like 10-30 ft. After the first drop would follow a small pop of airtime into a tall waveturn-like hill to the left. The train would then proceed to go through another waveturn but whipping you to the right (however it wouldn’t be as tall as the first one). After this, the train would drop down into another pop of airtime into a reverse cobra roll like found on Twisted Cyclone; the only difference is that the second inversion would be something like a barrel drop and heartline roll combined but not steep like Iron Gwazi’s. Then the train would go through an airtime hill whipping you around into another small pop of airtime into a zero-g roll (3rd inversion). After that, the train would go through a series of airtime hills like found on Twisted Timbers (4 to be exact). After the last airtime hill I’m a little uncertain, maybe a series of more curvy bunny hills which would whip you around into a double-down drop into the final hill that would lead into the brake run.
Add a giant son of beast sized loop and after that a corkscrew since RMC is missing more in versions like a cobra roll they need to include more inversions to the wooden coaster.
oh it gets RLLY HIGH. i went in June and the water was really close to the pier. one big wave and the pier might’ve gotten hit. not sure if that’s an accurate way to describe it but i go to WW every year and that’s the highest i’ve seen it
The beach is very long I’ve been so many times high tide dissent even come close and during hurricane sand the water was just under the boardwalk and didint effect any rides accept the log flume which actually goes under the boardwalk
I live right in wildwood , rode it when I was a teenager and I just took my daughter on it and omgggg , I forgot how fast this ride was . Super loud too lol . But great . Best one there I think
To reply to the high tide comments. I am from Cape May county and the boardwalk has always been within a ten minute ride for me. When I was little (late 70s-early 80s), the water was close.Now, high tide means the water is still about 100 yards away from the coaster. The only time the tide comes closer, is when a nor` Easter or hurricane comes through. This coaster hasn't run for a couple of years, I'm thinking winter storm Jonas got it a few years ago.
One of the greats along with El Toro at 6 flags. This ride used to have rough transitions but I understand they smoothed them out. The larger you were the rougher it was. Felt like I was in a fight when I got off. The view is also great
Me and my brother went on this a few weeks ago, and we weren't even able to process what was happening, lmao. This is definitely my second favorite wooden coaster now, right below the king El Toro.
This coaster is as smooth as the maintenance keeps up with it. some years it really rough, sometimes it's really smooth. but the RMC treatment would be great.
Wait..... this wooden roller coaster is actually built on the coast? The wooden pylons are in the sand? I have never seen such a thing. Shouldn’t a roller coaster like this be built on a pier so it doesn’t get too much water damage?
I'm curious as to what the foundation work looks like for a coaster like this that's built over sand. Not to mention, with all the salt water, I imagine this thing is high maintenance considering all the corrosion and rust it must get on the nails and bolts. Did they make it with special material or just good ol' wood and steel and just deal with the nightmare of upkeep as it comes along?
As you can see it's technically a hybrid coaster as it uses wooden track but steel supports. The track is replaced frequently since the salty air is hard on it. They have maintenance workers walk the tracks every morning for a few hours and replace/repair anything that needs it. So yes they're very good about maintenance on this coaster which is why it's stayed smooth over the years.

This is seriously a lot of fun!! Good Old Fashioned drops and adrenaline rush! Perfect ride! :)
Such a beautiful and powerful coaster. It's been quite a few years since I rode it, but Great White certainly is a good memory.
Back seat is an absolute jolt-fest! Love it!
Used to be worse about 15 or 20 years ago.
Wow, looks so good, the location is like a throw back to the old days of BPB.

Gregg Goss correct! But man the last time I was on that it was bumpy as hell lol
It’s a galvanized steel frame with a wood track to prevent deterioration.

Andrew Agront I road this ride and it was amazing
I never been on it so I’m watching it
Bru dis literally a Whole Foods edition of el toro
Andrew Agront it’s my favorite roller coaster out of all the three piers :)
I still remember this from 2012. Sweet nostalgia! This is such a beautiful and memorable coaster ,i love the name too being right on the beach
My first credit and still one of my favorites! 7 y/o going up the chain lift while watching Dennis Anderson aka Grave Digger, doing donuts just south on the beach. Classic!
How much airtime?
Like the Great Nor'Easter and the Sea Serpent-loved this ride....a trip back home in the summer is much needed😊😊😊

Best wooden rollercoaster ever!!!
Natalia Mikanowicz just ride el toro and your opinion will be changed 👍
Have ridden both and I'll take Great White over El Toro any day😊
@@sjwiz2389El Toro is physically painful 😂
this looks so underrated and enthusiasts never talk about it cant wait to ride this in 2020

Love the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ.
This roller coaster is called Great White, I wanna see a coaster called, Megalodon
The RMC conversion
problem with that is the great white doesnt need to be rmc'd its a good fun ride just as it is. now a ground up rmc hybrid called megalodon im totally down for 👍👍
The theme from "Jaws" should play during this ride.
She's a tough little coaster, but you've got to love her.
Your classic old wooden roller coaster. The best!!!
Wooden and the sea.... perfect......
Paragon Park in Hull, MA many years ago.
The supports are steel
There was a sea wooden coaster way back in the day at the willows in Salem MA and Salisbury beach
@@TheEpic22 it’s wooden coaster
@@robfassi3297
I’m aware. I’m saying the steel supports protect the coaster from the elements.
sit in the back seat for absolute intense. The pulls you get are CRAZY.

Very cool video. It's a great ride and I ride it every time I go to the Wildwoods. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
I love the roughness on wooden coasters, it makes it more enjoyable
the thing is surprisingly now smooth as butter
One of my favorite roller coasters of all time this was the first roller coaster I got my brother to go on with me when he was 14 back in 2014
This is a good one for sure. I've been on it a few times and love it. Thanks for sharing. Video quality is fantastic.
The Great White ,and the Grizzly at kings dominion ( if it still exists) two of the best wooden roller coasters I've ever been on.
Kings Dominion local here. Grizzly is still around!

The coaster dosen't need to be RMC though but it would be a grat standout for moreys peirs.
going to Wildwood tomorrow! this is a ride my cousin and i love and we go on it every time we go at least multiple times haha. thanks!
I wonder how close the water gets when the tide is high 🤯
Chief ZP ikr that look sooo cool tho on the ride
i live in the area,, it’s almost completely submerged during hurricane season
Jack yo that’s insane

This was the first coaster I ever rode. I have so much nostalgia for it it isn't even funny.
I love this coaster. It is the best coaster on the Wildwood boardwalk.
Daniel Kubacki agreed
Yup, once I went on it five times in a row 😂
It was my first ride at Wildwood
The 4 hour ride to Wildwood was worth it
I love the great nor’easter!
I had fun! Thanks
Awesome! I stil love a good wooden coaster. Reminds me a little of Thunderbolt at Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh, PA.
Looks like a pretty cool coaster.
I was on it in real life I loved it!
Really cool layout!
Amazing ride
Superb
Wow its look so good amazing 👏👏
I don’t like how it stops at the end. Seems everyone would get whiplash really good. Looks super fun though!
I went to wildwood for vacation. This was one of my favorite rides
Um ok
I rode it twice last week, it's an awesome ride.
That’s my kind of rollercoaster no upside for me now I’m older but this one looks fun xx
I just rode the Great White 3 times I a row 1 week ago I love it, it is my favorite rollercoaster
Super rough, but awesome view of wildwood boardwalk and Atlantic Ocean, I went on it a couple weeks ago
Great job on recording this ride. Definitely captured it well.
AH! Was just there a few months ago. Nice place. Visit Wildwood every year.
Pretty cool ride!
Flitzer was my favorite ride, but the Great White RULES ALL!!!!!

sooooo goood 😭❤️ one of my favs when i was a kid

spectacular !!
Real nice wooden roller coaster there the best very under rated that's we're it all started best roller coasters old school.
I remember riding this as a kid when it was brand new!
I LOVE THE BORADWALK!
That looks fun!
Whoa. That was cool.
love this kind of roller coasters
I love coasters that look like they're held together with baling wire and spit! :)
I love wildwood SO MUCH❤❤❤
That looked great!!
Great White, is a fun roller coaster! It’s a shame, the Skyride was demolished. That was fun, too!
Me and my brother went on this a few weeks ago, and we weren't even able to process what was happening, lmao. This is definitely my second favorite wooden coaster now, right below the king El Toro.
I miss Wildwood. I haven't been there in over 10 years. :(
i was there the other day and we only went on moreys not the other two but it was so much fun but i love the great white
its the BEST at night for people going or want to go!
This coaster is as smooth as the maintenance keeps up with it. some years it really rough, sometimes it's really smooth. but the RMC treatment would be great.

I’ve been on all the roller coasters in wild wood HAPPY
I was there and the pier that it was on hadn’t opened yet and we had to leave but it looks so fun. I got to ride the other to big ones though.
Wait..... this wooden roller coaster is actually built on the coast? The wooden pylons are in the sand?
I have never seen such a thing. Shouldn’t a roller coaster like this be built on a pier so it doesn’t get too much water damage?
They build boats out of wood....and piers loL
GazRwood yes but I’ve never seen a roller coaster built on the coast line like this. And sand. It just looks odd to me awesome roller coaster though.
I’d be worried about the ocean salt corrosion.
Daniel Alvarado Totally agree.
The supports are metal, CCI just laid wooden track on top of the support structure. Thats why this is, in technicality, a Hybrid coaster.
I want in on this when I was 7 and I love it

Oh the many many of memories riding the great white. Funny thing is. It's one of the younger coasters there l. It was built after the nor Easter.
Great video but when you go on it irl the first drop offers so much airtime and so does the hills on the left towards the end of the ride
An empty ground with nothing surrounded, this ride is unique

Or not
Man everybody likes to see wooden coaster go upside down with inversions nowadays.
Gone on this ride many many times. It's fun but its so so so so ROUGH. If it was smoother it would be much better.
Awesome.
Looks like fun
Looks fun :D
You guys plan on going back to Wild Waves and maybe film some more things?
good warm up roller coaster
Scary how its literally in the middle of a beach and that tunnel too
Awesome

Wow amazing
