Morey's Piers and the Wildwood, NJ Boardwalk - Mark Rosenzweig (whispers)'s Photos

Come on "down the shore" to experience America's answer to Pleasure Beach, Blackpool. Morey's Piers operates 3 ride parks and 2 waterparks on 3 piers built out over the expansive 1/4 mile wide Wildwood Beach. This is amusement chaos at its best. It's easy to theme a section around a boardwalk. It's another thing to actually be on a boardwalk with all of the sights, sounds, and scents overwhelming the senses.

Mark Rosenzweig (whispers) > Pirates of Wildwood is a tongue-in-cheek budgeted knock off of the Disney original, but feels right at home on Mariner's Landing. It utilizes a modern day old mill conveyance system.
