Runaway Tram, Steel roller coaster at Morey's Piers Surfside Pier in North Wildwood, United States
The Runaway Tram is a steel roller coaster at Surfside Pier that mimics the appearance of a vintage streetcar. Riders sit in open-air cars that travel through a compact yet twisting course with multiple climbs and drops.
The coaster was built in 2019 to replace an older ride, requiring significant reconfiguration of the pier's layout. This modernization brought updated attractions to the historic amusement destination.
The coaster takes the form of a yellow and blue streetcar that echoes the beloved Wildwood Sightseer Tramcar, which has carried visitors along the boardwalk for generations. This design choice merges the nostalgia of classic boardwalk transportation with modern ride technology.
Riders must meet a minimum height requirement to experience the coaster, so families with younger children should verify this beforehand. The ride lasts just a few minutes, making it possible to enjoy multiple cycles during a visit.
A tribute figure on the caboose honors a longtime tramcar operator who spent decades transporting people along the boardwalk. This memorial connects the pier's transportation heritage with the modern coaster experience.
