Wild Waves Review, Playland's Castaway Cove Miler Roller Coaster | Is This for Families or Adults?

- Wild Waves at Playland's Castaway Cove is one of the few adult roller coasters that E&F Miler ever constructed. Wrapped around Gale Force, Wild Waves is one bunny hill after another. The ride was delayed almost 2 years, but it is one of the few custom layouts on the New Jersey Shore. But is this coaster for families or adults? I explore that question in this review!

4:30 "max height is 50 feet or 150 meters" I didn't know that Miler made the world's tallest coaster!
Whoops, I'll get that fixed. Meant 15.
I can’t stop looking at Galeforce when watching off ride footage
I don't blame you!
Shame it is so excessive on the trims. Looks like it could be a pretty strong small scale boardwalk coaster. So it seems they basically realized what they ordered as a family coaster turned out to be more thrill, thus taming it. That's so crazy 😂 I love it lol
Exactly!
After 5 months of Waiting, we finally got the review everyone wanted since Galeforce
You're welcome!
That final hill looks like it levels out fast on the accent so that’s probably why only the front gets airtime, not that many hills do that so it seems pretty fun, gotta thank E&F milers awesome profiling for that tho
They're certainly unique.
That transition @ 1:24 to 1:35 that matched when you switched talking about Gale Force to Wild Waves... *chefs kiss*
Thanks!
Ngl this coaster looks fun. They did a good job compacting it
Agreed!
Thanks for doing this review. I have never seen anyone else say anything about this ride, and I've always been curious, because I really like the E&F Miler adult coasters at the Fun Spots. It's too bad to hear that the crazy amounts of trims cause it to be much tamer than it could have been, but at least I know what to expect whenever I make it out there.
I can only imagine how crazy this could be without the trims.
Thanks for using my footage! Also I now have an updated version on my channel in 4K!
Besides that great review!
Thanks for making it available for use with attribution!
I prefer a coaster like this one! More of a family tame coaster to enjoy the ride. So if your a max thrill seeker dont buy tickets for the spinning tea cups when you want to be on the scrambler ride!
That's fair.
Literally the only adult Miler I’ve ridden has been Hurricane at Fun Spot Kissimmee, which was the best coaster in the park after Mine Blower. A fun ride, but I was bracing myself for the banked turn-around after your review. Suffice to say, I still hit my funny bone.
I like how aggressive that ride is
I feel like maybe a green color scheme rather than grey would be nice on wild waves to complement galeforce. Right now, idk how to describe it, but it looks like it blends in a is kinda just there
I agree. I would've liked a striking red.
I wish it was that multicolored coaster in the concept art instead of the grey it is now
Agreed!
This is a surprising coaster
It's fun.
How fast does this roller coaster go?
I love uniqueness in a coaster, so I loved this odd, little ride. In fact, I think I liked it a fair bit more than you did.
It's certainly unique.
Is there any source that says the track length of this coaster? If not what’s your best guess?
I haven't seen an official length, but I'd guess just south of 2000 feet.
they should have enthusiast events where they run this with no trims.
I'd love that.
I feel like that would actually be like dangerous lol
Like the name "Wild Waves", you would expect a good quantity of airtime which it has, but lacs in quality in many areas.
It could've been wilder without the trims.
If there was no trims or they were all turned off, would it be better than Gale Force?
I don't think so, but it would've been better.
Is it even open because of COVID-19
Yes, the park was open in 2020 and 2021.
This ride is lit a kiddie coaster
It's a bit better.
They are renaming this one to "I brake for everything". There was no need to trim it to THIS level.. it still could have been a family coaster without being brought to a halt.. The have the small spinner, so that's a total family coaster, this could have been small thrill.. Honestly, this may be small but this could have been an 8.5 out of 10.
Lol
Miler is the new arrow. At least in terms of jankyness
Fair!
Hi
Hi
I really don’t get the hype for E&F Hi-Milers. I hear many enthusiasts rave about them for strong airtime. Having ridden Hurricane multiple times in the front and back row, I got maybe one or two weak pops of airtime. Pretty janky too, especially after the second drop.
I agree Milers are janky, but Hurricane had some aggressive laterals and some airtime. Screamer is their peak though.
Screamer did look like a ton of fun. I guess Hurricane does have laterals, not really my thing unless it’s on a classic wooden coaster I guess lol
My first rides on Scream'n Eagle gave some of the wildest and strongest ejector airtime and laterals I've ever experienced. On my return last year, it was much weaker. They might be the type that has good days and bad days.
@@OklahomaCoasterFan With trains that short, I wonder if a partial or full train makes a bigger impact like it does on Space Mountain.
California screamer vibes
If this had no trims, it may have run like that.
@@CanobieCoaster somebody needs to buy that thing. Great ride that lasted over 20 years for a reason.
First again
Nice!
