When I lived in Greater Philly Co-Prosperity Sphere, I visited Wildwood from time to time. and always enjoyed it. No place does tacky beach resort with more elan than Wildwood.

And Morey’s Pier was always a favorite stop.

Here, the owner of Morey’s and several other piers reveals the key to carny rides:

The result is “amazing,” Morey said. “There’s minimum confinement . . . and maximum fear in this one.”

Achieving that balance is where “the art and science of amusement-ride designing comes in,” Morey said. “The art is making a scary, thrilling ride and the science is in making sure the passengers are safe but they are unaware of the safety. That would take the thrill out of it.”

The first roller coaster I rode was at Morey’s piers.
