Morey’s Piers’ “Ghost Ship” Becomes More Immersive for 2011

WILDWOOD – Last year, the world was made aware of Morey’s Piers’ newest attraction, the Ghost Ship. As the end result of a “Philadelphia Experiment” gone terribly wrong, the Ghost Ship took the Jersey Shore by storm, entertaining and terrifying hundreds of thousands of guests and gaining recognition as ‘Best New Theme Park Attraction for 2010’ in About.com Reader’s Choice Awards.
The Ghost Ship gave the Wildwoods boardwalk back the kind of high intensity scare attraction that had been missing for nearly a generation. Thrilled as Jack and Will Morey were with the first year success of the attraction, they have never been ones to rest on their laurels.
As such, Morey’s Piers is pleased to announce that Ghost Ship 2011 will offer an almost completely new scare show, as well as a number of physical changes to the ride’s interior maze itself that will more fully immerse guests into the horrifying experience.
“Ghost Ship was a great attraction last year, no doubt. It would have been easy to come back with the same show in 2011. But I was not surprised when Will and Jack sent me to various parks in the US and across the pond in Europe to research how we can make it even better. That’s just how they operate. Good enough is never good enough,” said Ghost Ship manager Terry O’Brien.
Many of the cages and fences that separated guests from hungry zombies have been stripped down, leaving guests face to mangled face with the creatures of the Ghost Ship. A couple new surprises are meant to immerse, impress and impart a deeper sense of gloom on the adventurous as they wind their way through the derelict vessel.
In addition to the many new rooms, acting and lighting changes, the Ghost Ship will also feature an all-new costume and make-up scheme, designed by industry professionals.
