Morey's Piers Ghost Ship Is OPEN!!! - POV - 4K 2023
After being closed since fall of 2019, Morey's Piers Ghost Ship, the Ignis Fatuus, has officially opened!
Morey's Piers had been waiting for quite some time to get this ride ready to open for the public. The main reason why it was closed for so long was due to the Covid-19 restrictions in New Jersey. After the restrictions were dropped most of the shore towns had issues hiring staff. This was mostly due to the pause in J1 students.
After being closed for three years Morey's had the hard task of getting the ship open. Since it was closed for so long much of the ride had to be reconditioned and refurbished.
There have been some changes to the attraction for this summer. The biggest of change is that you can only visit the first floor of the attraction. The second floor of the ship needed so much work that if they tried to open both of them, it wouldn't be open in time for the summer.
Inside the ship you will notice some changes in some of the props and staffing. Since they needed 7+ persons to operate the ride, instead of them being spread out over two floors you see them combined on the first level which means more screams!
Another massive change, and one that people had been waiting for, is the price change. In 2019 the admission price was 8 tickets but for this summer season you will only be charged for 6 tickets.
Morey's Piers held a soft open of the Ghost Ship on Friday July 28th at 7pm. While it wasn't announced online, the Wildwood Video Archive caught wind and was able to get up to the pier by 8pm to film a walk through of the attraction.

Thank you, that was awesome!!
Glad to see it's back, even 1st floor only. Let's hope it will be fully opened in 24. Went through it a year after opening and it was great. Thanks for the trip through the ghost ship!
I was in the group right before Joey! I was really impressed with the experience and it was a lot of fun! Definitely worth the six tickets! But to be fair I never went on it before yesterday and I’m easily spooked. 😂 Also shoutout to the actors! They did an amazing job last night. Especially the girl in the hallway and the dude in the cell. Those were the best parts! And I’m pretty sure that guy in the video is one of Morey’s CEOs Geoff. Cool Easter Egg!
Awesome to see the only haunted attraction is now open since 2019 The ghost ship is cool reminds me of Halloween 🎃 my favorite holiday but what I truly miss is Dracula s castle witch was on the boardwalk way back in the 60-90 s the boat ride was more scary than the castle but still was one of my favorite attractions on the boardwalk until it caught on fire and was destroyed and now a water park is in its spot where the castle once stood years ago!!!!!!

Nothing had a more ominous feel than that castle on the boardwalk. We always stayed farther up north on the boardwalk but would walk down once a trip. The music, decor, employees in costume was always such an experience. The old Dante’s inferno was an amazing looking ride but lame inside.

No on the surf side pier there is Dante’s dungeon
The music on 12:37 kind of creeped me out when I went on the boat. Imagine just chill music while someone’s being killed, eaten, or cut open. Imagine being on a boat and you see a dead man with his guts out on his bed and that music is playing
Gmorn Joey n Always love your informative videos ❤You ROCK!!!🎉
I'm so glad it's back!! I can't wait until the 2nd floor is back next year too!
My family and I have been on this Ghost Ship many times. It's sad to remember how it was in the very beginning and only having 1 floor of it opened now. However, I have to say, it looked scarier than what I thought it would be. I'll be down in August and will definitely be going on it again. Thanks for the video, Joey!
I remember it being very very very hot the first year it opened in 2010. Glad it's there, serving as the maze for the three piers. Missing the oversized maze that used to be under the log flume.
Thank, I will try it on Monday
I went on this last year! It was super cool :3
I love this ride I got to go in with my friends
I will be there in 14 days, I really hope to see you somewhere Joey, gonna be there for a full week!!
Excellent all around
I went through it many years ago..I loved the music that was played on the outside.. went through when it was two floors and I have to tell you, I was very impressed. I had to pull five kids through it. Great attraction!

Thanks again Joey. It looks cool but I don’t think I could do it, maybe when I was younger! I think I remember that castle they had on a pier years ago, that I think was scary too.😂
Nice vid ^^ i really like haunted houses through youtube. I am a real scaredy cat so i wont ever go in one in real life. But i really enjoy the footage of hhn and other spooky things. Keep up the great work!
Im so mad i was too scared to go on this when i went during the first year opening
😁 wildwood heaven on earth
Thanks so Much for showing this, I was in Atlantic City in 1984 walking that Whole Board Walk while my Wife and I were on Our Honeymoon there and it was a Blast, I just wanted to Thank You again for Bring Back some Memories we had there, here it is June 17 2024 and All this week is going to Be Very HOT So Stay Cool, and I am A New Subscriber to your Channel so it will be Great watching All your Video's, just to keep the memories Alive, I am from Norfolk, MA.....and I hope to Pay another Visit there someday, So Thanks Again......Your New Fan Don
In 2014 my brother and I went through the ship , in our mid 40's , we had to go through more than once as well , it really is a fun attraction to walk through , we got mischievous the third time through and started to hide and scare the other guest , they loved it , and the actors just left us alone to have fun . After when we got out we were meet by a real big guy laughing and his girl friend in tears laughing so hard , they both thanked us for scaring them , we thought we were gonna get hit , LOL. I could never ever forget that haunted ship , our tour was fantastic . 🤪🤣
Darn, wish I was there. The past few summers my wife and I visited Wildwood, the Ghost Ship was closed. I never got a chance to go through it. I was born and raised in NJ. We moved out of State years ago. I am 53 years old. The first time I went through Castle Dracula was 1981 when I was 11. I also like Skual the old Pirate Ship, Wacky Shack. Back in the day Wildwood had alot of haunted houses. Loved those times back then. Things are different now. My wife and I and our son got to ride Dantes Dungeon last summer. I used to go through that in the 80's before it had its makeover. It looked more like Hell before. It still looks pretty cool now. If they ever get the second floor up and running would love to see a full walkthrough video. Thank you. I just subscribed to your channel.
I would love it if it was open all year around for all the people that love ghost attractions to see, I hope they have a gift shop?!

They used to have one for that ride but not anymore. They do have merch for it at the Morey Store
Cool
I am so glad this attraction is back open and it looks truly amazing. But, it doesn’t look as great and scary as it used to be when it first opened
Best part of wildwood
wish there were this many scare actors when i did it last weekend was very underwhelming which is sad because i went in really excited to finally do this
Me & my daughter went on years ago when it was both floors. The lady in front of was screaming at everything! It was too funny. Of course she took the chicken way out. We went through the pitch black room with the giant tubes! It was 10 tickets then
We were upset when we went a little over a month ago, and it wasn’t open… Dante’s Inferno was actually pretty okay. I’m just waiting for the day that the rebuild Draculas Castle.
This is beat. Castle Dracula needs to make its return with the dungeon boat ride bigger and scarier than before
Cant wait for this to fully open to its former glory!

I can assure you the floor will never be open ever again
I remember the old pirate ship. was that in the same place as this?
I went the wrong way and someone came in front and I passed them and then they screamed and chased me
Walked thru that ship years ago. Scared the💩out of me
I left wildwood the day before on the 27th i dont believe it
Watch out for the Giant Ferris wheel. It broke down the other day. I read about it on Google. Did they fix the cage that little girl fell from?
Is it better than brigantine castle

Do you have the wild pass

No not yet. They are still working on it daily
Was the part still there where you went outside and then back in by squeezing thru that black latex room that compressed you?
I was here today
Does anyone remember when pirates of wildwood was way cooler on the outside and inside? It’s so goofy now it used to be like one of the top tier rides there in my opinion
Okay than
Wait. What?
When i was 16, an actor took off my glasses and kissed me forcefully in a different boardwalk haunted house that is thankfully gone. Since then, i feel BEWARE for many reasons when live actors involved.

I was 10 when I went through a haunted attraction at a place called Sickman's Haunted Mill here in PA. I only wanted to go because I didn't want to be without my mom, typical little kid thing. But, it was a little fun and thank God nothing happened to me there. The only thing that scared me was a fake hand when an actor held out their hand to have me shake it. I knew the hand wasn't real on top of their real hand. I don't like rubbery fake hands, very creepy like Claw's hand in Inspector Gadget 2 after he tried to get the Mayor to shake it and when she did, the fake hand came off and freaked her out, Poor Mayor 😢.

Omg so crazy you said that in the late 70s my sister and I went to the Dracula haunted house my sister had a tube top on and the a worker pulled her tube down while riding in the boat... she was so scared and started crying... some people are so sick... I was really young then so didn't know what to do... I wish I had the intelligence I have now because not only would he get fired.... I would've beat the trap outta him..

to be fair, I went on it last night and it was far better in person. It would be really hard for the video to show the true experience. Like what Joey says at the end.
Great presentation but, as a haunt worker, dont say 'Get out!' Or "Go!". Kind of a haunt 101, rule.
Can I get a shout out
I did not like this, it was SCARY😨
I've made better home haunts than this. No scare factor at all.
ThatwasratherLAME!
It should of been a ride! Not a walk through
