Further details on Morey's Piers' "Runaway Tram Car" - new coaster for 2019

Courtesy of Jack Rouse Associates

Earlier today, Morey's Piers posted a sneak peek of their major new attraction for 2019 - a runaway tram car-themed roller coaster coming to Surfside Pier!

We have since learned some additional info, in addition to a glimpse at the concept art for the ride's layout, courtesy of designer Jack Rouse Associates of Cincinnati, Ohio.

The project's official description reads:

"What happens when the boardwalk's Sightseer tram goes haywire? Find out on this twisting, turning attraction that coaster fans of all ages are sure to love."

YES, Morey's Piers is getting a new coaster for its 50th anniversary season - with a Tram Car theme!

Morey's Piers will celebrate its 50th anniversary season in 2019 and, well... was there ever any doubt that they'd be doing something BIG to mark the occasion?

Today, Morey's posted the above image along with the following on their official Facebook page:

Run for your lives! To celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we're letting something loose on Surfside Pier this summer. Our new family attraction will have you screaming "Watch the Runaway Tram Car Please!"

 
A "Runaway Tram Car?" This sounds uniquely WILDWOOD in the most absurdly delightful way possible!

Rumors of a major addition have been circulating for a while now, and were certainly stoked upon the announcement that the Flitzer would be permanently removed from Surfside Pier at the end of the recently-completed season.

With that work (and subsequent shuffling) now done, the footprint of a new attraction has taken shape.

An official announcement from Morey's Piers will be coming in the following weeks, likely after the new year.

Stay tuned, as this will undoubtedly be one big stories to follow over the offseason months...

Wildwood Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 955 and American Legion Post 184 to hold rally against Agent Orange

PRESS RELEASE

WILDWOOD - Vietnam veterans in Cape May County are fed up with the lasting effects of Agent Orange!

On November 18th at 10 AM, veterans will gather at the corner lot of Route 9 and Route 47 to gain attention to the issues.

Agent Orange not only affects the men and women of the Vietnam war, it continues to spread to their families through birth.

Over the years, the VA, the government, and health insurers have turned a blind eye to the issues, and have failed to recognize the detrimental side effects to the use of dioxin and Agent Orange. For decades, veterans have rallied for support of Agent Orange with no luck. With an unknown total of health issues Agent Orange and dioxin has caused, finding a cure is out of sight.

American Legion Post 184 Commander Harry Weimar will lead the rally on the 18th like he has done in years prior.

"This is about finding a cure, and admitting Agent Orange has affecting us, our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Many veterans have already died from Agent Orange, and there are even more that do not know they are even affected."

Veterans, community leaders, and local residents are welcome to participate on site to gather media attention, raise awareness to the public, and showcase "the last battle" against Agent Orange.

South Jersey Gas to conduct natural gas renewal project in Wildwood Crest

PRESS RELEASE

WILDWOOD CREST – South Jersey Gas has recently informed the Borough of Wildwood Crest of plans to conduct a natural gas renewal project that will affect some streets in the borough beginning Monday, Oct. 29.

The work is scheduled to be complete by December.

According to a fact sheet about the project sent to the borough, South Jersey Gas will be installing excess flow valves (EFVs) on the natural gas lines. These excess flow valves are mechanical safety devices designed to automatically shut off the flow of natural gas in the event of a service line break or excavation damage.

Work is scheduled to take place along the following streets in Wildwood Crest: Pacific Avenue, Seaview Avenue, New Jersey Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, E. Nashville Avenue, E. Atlanta Avenue, E. Farragut Road, Ocean Avenue, E. Stanton Road, E. Stockton Road, E. Orchid Road and E. Heather Road.

According to South Jersey Gas, work will take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. There is a possibility work may be performed on some Saturdays during the same times.

To ensure safety, there will be lane closures with traffic control personnel directing motorists and pedestrians around all work. South Jersey Gas has stated, however, that residents and businesses will have access to and from their properties at all times.

South Jersey Gas will need access to properties because this work will require a temporary shutdown of natural gas service. Every effort will be made to restore service as quickly as possible. According to South Jersey Gas, typically all work is completed within eight hours but times may vary. Individual gas meters may need to be replaced depending upon their location, age and condition.

According to South Jersey Gas, excavations will be required at the gas mains located in the street. South Jersey Gas may also need to dig on individual properties if necessary. In most cases, a temporary repair will be made until final restoration occurs.

Openings in concrete may be temporarily patched with asphalt until final restoration with concrete occurs. Openings made in grass may not be restored until there is warmer weather to facilitate grass growth.

For more information about this project, residents can contact the Cape May County division of South Jersey Gas at 609-465-2900 and reference the SHARP II Wildwood Crest EFV project.

Morey's Piers ushers in solar power

PRESS RELEASE

The Wildwoods, NJ – October 3, 2018 - Morey’s Piers today flipped the switch to power 36,300 square feet of maintenance buildings solely through 900-plus recently installed solar panels.  The installation of solar power signifies the Morey organization’s continued commitment to improve sustainability and conservation on its three piers.

The 901 P17 345-watt panels are installed on the four maintenance buildings located on Hunts Pier at 2710 Boardwalk.

According to Will Morey, second-generation owner, “The system will produce more than 410,000 kilowatts per year, realizing more than $53,000 in energy savings annually.  Over a 30-year period, this investment in solar power will reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by 337 tons, the environmental equivalent of taking 12.4 million miles off the road or planting 126,000 trees.”

“We take our stewardship of this mile of pristine beach we enjoy so much very seriously, and the six-figure investment in this solar panel project was the right thing to do this year, no doubt,” said Jack Morey, second-generation owner.

Geoscape Solar designed the solar project and installed the panels. “Morey’s Piers has always been a New Jersey name synonymous with family,” said Lee Watson, chief operating officer and partner at Geoscape. “We were thrilled that Morey’s chose Geoscape Solar to partner with to achieve their long term financial and environmental goals. “

With a combined weight of 21 tons, the panels have been fitted onto the roofs of four maintenance buildings. Used year-round by a staff of 57 in season, the buildings house workshops for repairs, tests, painting, carpentry, and updates of all components of the rides and facilities throughout the three piers.

Jack Morey noted that the solar project complements the company’s environmental conservation and sustainability programs that include use of biodegradable products system-wide, recyclable plastics and reduced Styrofoam usage, along with energy-efficient lighting throughout, and a proactive recycling system with 30.82 tons of material recycled in 2017. Morey’s Piers is in the planning stages of undertaking additional efficiency usage studies to identify other areas to save both energy and waste.

REMINDER: Expect a text message from President Trump this afternoon

REMINDER:

This afternoon at 2:18 PM EST, FEMA will send out a "Presidential Alert" to nearly every cell phone in the country to test its Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).

To simplify, President Trump will text you this afternoon.

There is no reason to be alarmed, and no action to be taken. Again, the messaage will simply be sent out as a test on a nationwide level (as opposed to local severe weather, flood, Amber Alert notifications, etc.).

FEMA will also test its Emergency Alert System by broadcasting the same message two minutes later at 2:20 PM on TV and radio.

The test was originally scheduled to be sent out on September 20, but was postponed due to severe weather emergency responses taking part in various parts of the country.

The text of the message to be sent out, in case you're curious (or will have your phone off) will read:

THIS IS A TEST of the National Emergency Alert System. This system was developed by broadcast and cable operators in voluntary cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Communications Commission, and local authorities to keep you informed in the event of an emergency. If this had been an actual emergency an official message would have followed the tone alert you heard at the start of this message. A similar wireless emergency alert test message has been sent to all cell phones nationwide. Some cell phones will receive the message; others will not. No action is required.”
