Sea Serpent, Steel roller coaster at Morey's Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey, United States
Sea Serpent is a steel roller coaster at Morey's Piers featuring a train with seven cars that takes riders through multiple inversions including a Cobra Roll and vertical loop. The track spans approximately 935 feet and carries passengers through both forward and backward sections of the route.
This Vekoma-manufactured ride opened in 1984 as the first boomerang-style coaster built in the United States. It marked a turning point in how thrill rides evolved at American amusement parks.
The Sea Serpent represents a significant milestone in American amusement park development, demonstrating the evolution of thrill rides in coastal entertainment venues.
The ride lasts a few minutes and takes passengers through six inversions at speeds around 47 miles per hour. Visitors should wear loose clothing and know that the backward sections of the course may feel more intense than the forward portions.
What sets this coaster apart is that riders are pulled backward up the initial lift hill before the main course begins. This backward start creates an unexpected sensation before passengers experience the inversions in both directions.
