Morey's Piers and Coca-Cola Shower the Shores with Golden Tickets

PRESS RELEASE

Morey’s Piers and Beachfront Water Parks and Coca-Cola are teaming up to bring more summer happiness to the shores for free.

Pucker up and prepare for a big, wet, sloppy kiss from Lady Fortune herself because the shiniest, sparkliest Golden Tickets are hitting a beach near you.

It doesn’t get more summerer than Morey’s and Coke. So, lookout for yellow buckets of gold in the Wildwoods, Ocean City, Cape May and even in Philly on Wednesday, July 26th. Morey’s More Summer Crew, dressed in bright yellow shirts, will be hiding buckets all over the beaches and boardwalks. They will probably hand you a bucket or two if you ask nicely.

Each yellow bucket holds a refreshing ice cold Coke and a #MoreysGoldenTicket. Golden Tickets are good for a whole summer’s day of summer at Morey’s Piers. That’s a whole day of free twisty turny rides and super soaking slides.

If you’re a gold-digging, swash-buckling, coaster-riding, water-sliding lover of free stuff, look out for #MoreysGoldenTickets in yellow buckets July 26th.

Summer’s More Funner with Morey’s and Coke. Happy Gold Digging! Get ‘em before the tide does. Follow @MoreysPiers on Facebook for more Golden Ticket information.
