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 [...]

The Mascots of Morey’s: A History Part V

June 3, 2011 By Alison 1 Comment

Makings of a Mascot Each of our mascots has been a journey in concept and design. Even Sunny went through rounds of revisions that weren’t quite right before we found our fun-loving seagull. I was digging through the archives when I found “Tourist Seagull.” He seems to embody the stereotypical tourist with his fanny pack [...]

The Mascots of Morey’s: A History Part IV

May 20, 2011 By Alison Leave a Comment

Through Percy and Sam to Hydro and Bubbles, we finally arrived at our goofy and fun-loving mascots, Curley Fry and Sunny C. Gull. The original idea behind having a seagull as a mascot sprang from the popularity of Curley fries and the infamous (and sometimes aggressive) appetite of seagulls. Everyone has some kind of “a seagull [...]

The Mascots of Morey’s: A History Part III

May 13, 2011 By Alison Leave a Comment

They went together like water and... suds?

Long after Percy the Pelican and shortly after Safe Sam, came this cheerful duo. Hydro and Bubbles were introduced in the early 90′s as part of an advertising and marketing campaign. Hydro represented speed and intensity while Bubbles was all about fun and happiness. They used to give out stickers, key chains and other promotional items in [...]

After Percy the Pelican‘s tragic demise and the Morey’s dissolution of their Raging Waters partnerships in Salt Lake City, which Morey Development of New Jersey operated from the early 1980s until December 1992 along with yet another Raging Waters in San Jose, our Raging Waters Waterparks inherited this mascot. The gator is Safe Sam, Raging [...]

The Mascots of Morey’s: A History Part I

April 29, 2011 By Alison 4 Comments

Before Sunny C. Gull and Curley Fry, Morey’s Piers had a few other crazy characters running around, posing for photos and making kids smile (or cower in terror if you’re one of those kids who are traumatized by giant animals waddling around awkwardly). Long before my time, when velociraptors roamed the Earth, Morey’s Piers developed [...]

Why……“it”

March 28, 2011 By Jack 4 Comments

I have been asked on several occasions just that…..Why “it” for the name of our newest attraction. Well, to tell you the truth, “it’s” a bit complicated, but here is my best shot at explaining “it.” “its” a bit of a long story so I am also attaching a memo from one of my greatest [...]
