They Turned the Wildwood Tram Car Into a Roller Coaster

Wildwood just went fully unhinged — in the best way. Morey’s Surfside Pier is transforming the iconic boardwalk tram car into a brand-new roller coaster called The Runaway Tram, opening July 2, 2026. And Gerald is NOT handling the news well. 🎢😭

Sandy has the full scoop — from the opening date to why the tram car has been a Wildwood icon since it first rolled down the boards. Biscuit is impressed. Gerald is chasing it on foot. Same as always.
