Nice Pier but WAY TOO high prices
I have been going to the Wildwoods since I was a small boy. My parents had a vacation home there. I vacationed there with my friends, my wife and my family. I was probably one of the first riders on Morey's Giant Slide which was their very first ride. I used to buy the season tickets but I won't anymore. Morey's used to include the Go Carts, just one ride each day but they still included them. They kept raising their prices and I kept buying the tickets until they took the carts away. I was rather insulted at that time they could even venture to raise prices and take away the 1 go cart ride that they included in their high priced tickets. Great Adventure for the season is about $60 and they allow you to bring friends too. I'm very disappointed in Morey's anymore. I will go to the boards, since I have a vacation home there, but my amusement vacation time is spent elsewhere anymore. I love the Wildwoods but as a vacation resident there I have become a little sour towards their operations. I would like to comment on their new Beach Club. Very nice and pleasant. I enjoy the water parks with my kids. I was apprehensive about Morey's having a liquor license inside the park because they first applied for the license as a restaurant. But it is nice. They monitor drinking carefully.
Morey's tradition in the Wildwoods has become long lasting, I know they pride themselves upon safety and cleanliness. I especially like the smoking sections, I wish they would enforce them more though. My child was burnt (not badly, luckily) by a cigarette someone was holding near the Moby Dick ride.
Hopefully they will begin smoking sections on the entire boardwalk, just to at least cut down on the littering.
So if you are going to the Wildwoods, plan on a discount day for the rides, a Tuesday or a Thursday. Otherwise you will pay dearly for bracelets or tickets.
I hope someone from Morey's and even more important from the wildwood's council reads my post. Clean up those T-Shirt places and limit the hucksters from bamboozling the kids playing. I know Morey would like to clean the boards up too. Maybe extend the season into the winter, Ocean City does!
