Specialties: Seaside Heights, NJ is ready to greet visitors this summer and you won't want to miss two great parks in one convenient location in the heart of town. Established in 1932. Casino Pier opened in 1932 by Linus Gilbert 1937.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS — A man was taken into custody after climbing to the top of a tower ride at Pier Casino. The climb was ment to protest 'unfair charges' brought against him by local police, the man, Christopher Angulo, 45, of Lavallette, claimed.

Angulo climbed to the top of the ride and hoisted a flag. He said at first he would come down after he secured an attorney to help with the charges.

Shortly after 10 a.m., police escorted Angulo away from the boardwalk after he climbed down from the ride.

'He's having problems with other police departments,' borough police Chief Thomas Boyd told the Asbury Park Press Monday.

Boyd said Angulo had interrupted a council meeting in Angulo's hometown of Lavallette and 'had problems up in Bay Head.'

The state Judiciary's records show dozens of criminal charges against Angulo dating back to 2001, mostly alleged disorderly persons offenses.

Boyd said he spoke with Angulo by cell phone while Angulo was still atop the ride.

'After I talked some sanity into his head — he's not a stupid kid, he's a pretty bright kid, he's not stupid — after I talked to him, he said 'I'll come down,' Boyd said.

Angulo's previous publicity stunts include swimming out to the Sandy-damaged Jet Star roller coaster off Seaside Heights in 2013 and climbing onto a floating ice disk with a pickaxe and chainsaw in Westbrook, Maine in 2019. His effort in 2019 earned him the nickname 'some idiot from New Jersey' in a headline from a local radio station.

Had Angulo not climbed down on his own, Boyd said state troopers were ready to climb up and get him.

Boyd said Angulo would be facing charges of criminal trespass, but that 'We're going to get him help, we're going to get him some mental help.'

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NJ — If you've been waiting to hop on the Ferris wheel at Casino Pier and get a bird's eye view of the beach, it looks like the wait is nearly over, after Gov. Phil Murphy announced Tuesday that amusement and water parks could reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Murphy said playgrounds, amusement parks and water parks can reopen on July 2, just in time for the Fourth of July holiday.

That includes the amusement rides at Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach.

'We are SO excited to finally announce that the Governor has allowed Amusement Parks and Waterparks to open,' a message posted by Casino Pier on its Facebook page said. 'We know everyone is anxious to come play and to also know what the safety guidelines and restrictions will be when you come to visit.'

Murphy said those guidelines would be issued shortly. He said that in addition to reopening the amusement rides and water parks, he would announce the reopening of arcades on Wednesday. Read more: NJ Coronavirus Updates: Here's What You Need To Know

These conditions for reopening were announced Tuesday:

• The parks must reopen at 50 percent capacity, and specific health guidance is being finalized.
• Face coverings will be required of staff and attendees 'where practicable.'
• Rides will be configured so that they are 6 feet apart between groups, and they must be disinfected.
• Distance markers must be placed.

'The rides will be in operation, but moreover, we want everyone to enjoy their time responsibly,' Murphy said.

Casino Pier previously had posted some of the measures it plans to take, including having its employees wearing masks in every place where it's practical; checking the temperatures of every guest, and requiring people to use hand sanitizer before boarding rides. Hand sanitizer dispenser will be located throughout Casino Pier, and visitors will be encouraged to use hand sanitizer frequently and prior to participating in any ride, slide, attraction, playing any game, using any equipment, or walking around the properties where common touch areas are present.
