The story begins in the summer of 1969, with the erection of a giant slide on the boardwalk of Wildwood, NJ by two brothers, both carpenters, who knew little about the amusement business. Their competitors, seasoned boardwalk operators, poured scorn on the newcomers, who, undeterred, began developing an amusement pier around the ride, the Wipe Out. Driven by the work ethic, imagination and "yes-we-can" creed of its founder, Will Morey, this family company, which now runs three piers packed with more than 100 rides and attractions and two world-class waterparks, has become a benchmark for the industry. These days, The Morey Organization operates the largest seaside amusement park in the world. From the monster attractions of the Seventies to the Euro invasion of the Eighties and the roller coaster race of the Nineties, this is the remarkable story of a small family company that dared to dream big in one of the most competitive, unpredictable industries of all. Fasten your harnesses and prepare to take a ride... Running the business of an amusement park is a lot like spending a day at an amusement park. It's a roller coaster of emotions, full of highs and lows. Sometimes you'll be breathless, other times you'll feel like your stomach is in your throat and your heart is in your mouth. It won't be boring, that's for sure. So it goes with Morey's Piers. The company launched 40 years ago with one simple slide on the boardwalk, and zero experience in the game. Now they're running the world's biggest, and arguably best, seaside amusement park, in the wonderful world of Wildwood, NJ. This is their story.

Fun, Sun, Fire, and War in Cape May, America’s Original Seaside Town It began with an advertisement in a Philadelphia newspaper in 1801. Soon, city dwellers were descending on Cape May, at the tip of the Jersey Shore, and the American seaside vacation was born. Presidents stayed in Cape May, and famous industrialists from the north mixed with renowned plantation owners from the south. But the Civil War and an inferno that destroyed forty acres of majestic beachfront hotels sent Cape May lurching toward oblivion. During two world wars, the town hosted a huge garrison of soldiers and sailors, and the city was front-page news when a German U-boat surrendered off its coast in 1945. It took a bitter battle between the city and preservationists for Cape May to be reborn. Ben Miller tells the compelling story of how Cape May went from boom to bust and back again in this lavishly illustrated, meticulously researched book.
