Driven by the work ethic, imagination and "yes-we-can" creed of its founder, Will Morey, this family company, which now runs three piers packed with more than 100 rides and attractions and two world-class waterparks, has become a benchmark for the industry. These days, The Morey Organization operates the largest seaside amusement park in the world.
From the monster attractions of the Seventies to the Euro invasion of the Eighties and the roller coaster race of the Nineties, this is the remarkable story of a small family company that dared to dream big in one of the most competitive, unpredictable industries of all. Fasten your harnesses and prepare to take a ride...
Running the business of an amusement park is a lot like spending a day at an amusement park. It's a roller coaster of emotions, full of highs and lows. Sometimes you'll be breathless, other times you'll feel like your stomach is in your throat and your heart is in your mouth. It won't be boring, that's for sure.
So it goes with Morey's Piers. The company launched 40 years ago with one simple slide on the boardwalk, and zero experience in the game. Now they're running the world's biggest, and arguably best, seaside amusement park, in the wonderful world of Wildwood, NJ. This is their story.
