May 16, 2012 By Kristel Leave a Comment

So, I did it, completed week one of training for the Wild Half Marathon. 9.5 miles of running over the course of the last 7 days…I’ve never ran so much in one week ever! My longest run this week was three miles. Some days were better than others. My training schedule says, “go for an [...]

Chris and Danielle While Working at Morey's Piers

As the Wedding & Event Specialist here at Memoreys, I could write a list of the things I love about my job. However I would have to say that my favorite part of the planning is getting to meet different couples and hearing their love stories. Being a romantic at heart, I love asking people [...]

Ultimate Mud Run 2012 - Partners through the mud

A little while back, we had one of our many yearly Wild Half Marathon meetings with CGI Racing. We mostly discussed ways to market the event which is always an exciting discussion… then our Brand Manager, Tim, came up with one of his “fabulous ideas” that always causes me a lot of work. This time [...]

Turning the Valve

May 7, 2012 By Alison 3 Comments

Some people flip a switch. Some yell, “Let the games begin!” Around here, summer can’t begin until we turn the valve. That valve opens up the floodgates which begins the 24 hour process of filling each of our rivers. In this case, we turned the valve on Friday afternoon to begin filling the new River [...]

Opening a New Lazy River? This Sounds Familiar.

May 4, 2012 By Sam 2 Comments

The blogger, then a ripe ole age of 21, enjoys a beverage during a private employee ride session.

Back in my junior year in college, I was lucky enough to intern at Conneaut Lake Park in Northwestern Pennsylvania. In its then-99th season, the Flynn Family undertook its largest single capital project to date- the construction of a Lazy River. Lots of coincidences here, as we fast forward to 2012, and here at Raging [...]

Just like Mike… Michelangelo

April 13, 2012 By Tsamson 4 Comments

I’ve talked about all of the decisions that go into a new attraction and since RipTide is so custom themed to be part of the Boardwalk Experience, you can’t just pick it out of a catalog. There are so many details and decisions that need to be made, and even more so, theming elements need [...]
