Morey’s Piers' Golden Nugget purchased by Knoebels Amusement Resort (Jan 26, 2009) Though we at Amusement Today have known all along the identity of the Golden Nugget's new owner, we honored a request to keep the information classified until both the Morey organization and the new owner were ready to release details. Below is an exclusive announcement AT just received that finally reveals the mystery: "Given the amount of speculation occurring online and the number of phone calls we’re receiving asking the question, it’s time to acknowledge that Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysberg, Pa. has purchased the Golden Nugget track and trains from Morey’s," said Joe Muscato of Knoebels. "There are no immediate plans to install the ride at Knoebels. This is, at best, a 2010 project. Neither a final location, or design/concept have been determined. The plan is not to exactly reproduce the ride as it was at was at Morey’s Pier.
Dick Knoebel, president of Knoebels Amusement Resort, said, “I’ve always liked the Golden Nugget and we’re excited about bringing it to Knoebels but we are not going to rush the project. We want to be sure that it is restored in a manner that both acknowledges the ride’s past and looks to its future at Knoebels.”

That is the latest news about Knoebels being the future destination place for Golden Nugget. It will be interesting to see how unique of an experience the ride will be for those who have not been on it. However, the park's main focus now is to have the Flying Turns up & running for this summer, so we won't ride the Golden Nugget for next season.
