 Morey's Piers ::: About Morey's Piers
Marine Pier and Playland was also the oldest amusement facility in Wildwood, dating back to 1918 when a carousel was built on a small parcel on the west side of the boardwalk.
Mariner's Landing Pier was the recipient of most of the attention in 1999 with the addition of Rollie's Coaster, a 33 foot tall, 1,100 foot long roller coaster; the Storm, a turbulent rotating ride; and Jumbos, an all new seafood restaurant.
As the requirements to operate three amusement piers, two waterparks and 70 attractions called for a different approach than what was required in earlier years, the Morey's decided to locate state-of-the-art maintenance facilities on Hunt's pier while continuing to invest in the other three piers.

 Navy Pier's cheesy makeover plan is full of holes - baltimoresun.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Unveiled Jan. 13 by McPier, the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority that oversees the lakefront attraction, the makeover aims to attract more visitors to the pier during cold months and to increase the average visitor's stay by offering more to do.
Yet more will only be more if it comes with what Navy Pier has sorely needed since it reopened in 1995 after an $187 million redevelopment designed by Benjamin Thompson and Associates of Cambridge, Mass., and Chicago's VOA Associates: Better architecture and more attention to the quality of the public realm.
Parking: Skepticism also should greet the suggestion to nearly double the pier's 1,700 parking spaces by adding a two-story, partly underground garage in Gateway Park and placing two floating parking decks (a replica aircraft carrier and a replica steamship) on the pier's north side.
