A Beloved Landmark Takes a Break

For generations, families have flocked to Morey's Piers to take a spin on the Giant Wheel, soaking in the salty ocean breeze and the dazzling view of the coastline.

Memories in Motion

From the top, you can see the glittering lights of the boardwalk, the endless stretch of sand, and the Atlantic sparkling in the distance, it’s a memory-maker for anyone who’s ever visited. Whether it’s the first ride of the night or the last stop before heading home, this Ferris wheel has a way of making every moment feel like pure summer magic.

A Careful Restoration for the Future

Now, after years of standing tall through sun, sea air, and countless sunsets, the Giant Wheel is getting a complete makeover.

Not Gone, Just Getting Better

Morey’s Piers has confirmed that the entire structure will be carefully disassembled this winter, with every section inspected, repaired, and refreshed. The goal? To preserve the ride’s beauty, safety, and nostalgic charm for decades to come, thanks to wildwoodvideoarchive.com.

While it might look strange to see the Wildwood skyline without its famous wheel for a little while, fans can rest easy knowing it’s only temporary.
