Investors pitch plans for oceanfront amusement park

Several companies are looking into building an oceanfront amusement park in Carolina Beach.

The town’s planning director told WWAY NewsChannel Three that a few potential investors have approached him.

On April seventh, a Florida based company, called Mergle’s, is expected to present its plans to the town planning and zoning commission. If the project moves forward, Carolina Beach would be the state’s only venue for oceanfront rides.

Town officials hope the park will open as soon as May to kick off the tourist season.
