It has three amusement piers filled with rides that range from intense roller coasters to good, old-fashioned bumper cars and a carousel. The Redditor said Morey's Piers said their wooden roller coaster The Great White was a "decent woodie overall.
" "Scenery can’t be beat, the lateral forces in certain spots are pretty strong, and I enjoyed the brief bit of shade when dipping underneath the pier into the lift hill out of the station," he said.

"I came here with my GF (s/o to her for placating my coaster addiction) so we each got a ride on the major coasters with a bit of room to spare," he said.

"Do they actually have full queues if they are charging that much per ride?"
