Fly - The Great Nor'easter is a steel inverted roller coaster, manufactured by the Dutch company Vekoma. It is located at Morey's Piers amusement park in Wildwood, NJ. The track is colored white and seats 20 people per ride in two trains. Riders are required to give 8 tickets or have a wristband in order to ride, and must be over 52" and under 79". Further restrictions are posted at the ride, and loose articles are not permitted. Though it remains popular, this coaster is known to be rough on rider's heads, necks, and backs.

The design utilizes a lap bar and innovative vest, to comfortably restrain Guests during the ride. Add to that a redesigned station and all new red, white and blue color theme, and you have a brand new ride experience!” [ [http://www.screamscape.com/html/morey_s_piers.]
