Sea Serpent (roller Coaster)
Sea Serpent is a steel roller coaster at Morey's Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey, US. Opened in 1984, it was built by Vekoma, and was the first boomerang-style coaster to be built in the US.
Sea Serpent consists of a single train with seven cars, capable of carrying 28 passengers. The ride begins when the train is pulled backwards from the station and up the first lift hill by a catchcar. After being released, the train passes through the station, enters a Cobra Roll track element, and then travels through a vertical loop. After being pulled up a second lift hill, the train is released to head backwards through each inversion once more, making the total amount of inversions per ride six.

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or serpent:
“Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Alas I find the Serpent old
That, twining in his speckled breast,
About the flow’rs disguis’d does fold,
With wreaths of Fame and Interest.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
