The Great White at RCDB

The Great White is a sit-down wooden/steel roller coaster made and built by Custom Coasters International.[2]

It has been operating since June 10, 1996 and has 2 trains from the Philadelphia Toboggan Company with 6 cars per train. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows for a total of 24 riders per train.[2]

The ride starts by dropping into a tunnel beneath the boardwalk. After exiting the tunnel, the ride climbs up the 110-foot lift hill before dropping 100 feet at a 50-degree-angle, reaching a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). The ride then goes off the boardwalk and towards the beach, entering an elevated 225° swooping turn over the beach. The track then dives down into a turning drop, rising up to a flat 225° turn around. Another diving and swooping turn brings the train parallel to the first turn, and thence parallel to the lift hill. A series of three short airtime hills provide strong pops of ejector airtime, before rising up into a double-up into another flat turn around. The train makes one final turning drop and 90° before entering the brake run perpendicular to the lift hill and station.[3]

This ride was built over the beach because Morey's Piers ran out of room on the pier.[4] This ride is being constantly checked out by inspectors and has its track replaced frequently. This is one of the three 100+ feet coasters at Morey's and the only one that is a hybrid coaster.[5][6] The ride has been retracked by Martin & Vleminckx.[7]

For 2021, the coaster received 240 feet of new track, a new ride control system, and an elevator in the station.[8] The coaster will receive new trains for the 2025 season. [9]
