The Wildwoods, NJ – May 4, 2017 – This Memorial Day weekend, Morey’s Piers & Beachfront Water Parks, located on the boardwalk of the Wildwoods, NJ, will unleash the newly refurbished Great Nor’Easter roller coaster. Also kicking off the summer fun, Raging Waters Water Park opens for the season with a splash on Saturday, May 27.

 

During the winter the beloved Great Nor’Easter located on Surfside Pier underwent a five-million dollar re-tracking project. The upgraded coaster now boasts a 95-foot drop, a sleek ocean-themed paint job and 2,170 feet of new and improved track that will deliver a smoother and faster ride for adrenaline-seeking guests.

 

New this summer, Morey’s Piers will offer weekly VIP tours giving guests an insider glimpse at what happens behind the fun and games of the boardwalk. Starting on May 31, each tour, led by a member of the Morey family, will feature a variety of locations “beyond the boards.” From a visit with in-house welders, carpenters and painters, to a water park chemistry and filtration lesson, the behind the scenes tour showcases the scope and complexity of operating an amusement park. Each tour will conclude with a Curley’s Fries buffet bar at Joe’s Fish Co. Participants will also receive of copy of Morey’s A Wild Ride book and a Curley Fry bobblehead. Scheduled tours start at 11:00am and last for approximately 75 minutes; the cost is $35 per person. For the full schedule and to book, visit: http://www.moreyspiers.com/viptours.
