A few old pictures I found....

absolutely the best way to get moreys done in a day.  If you only have a day.. go up to the piers around 12 when they first open.  I believe raging waters opens earlier than that, so get a wrist band.  There are 2 different raging waters attached to 2 separate piers.  I actually cant remember which ones right now.. i believe the original moreys, and perhaps mariners landing.

After you get wet.. go ride all of the rides.  The lines are never very long, and the band is convenient because you can just jump back in lines all night.  Most people shop so the piers are never too rediculous

The waterparks are on the 2nd and 3rd piers with the Sea Serpent and the Nor Easter. There is one slide that interacts with the Nor Easter [The Reason why it is a SLC custom] and is pretty sick. I almost got stuck on it though [Not enough water]. Hehe, that is the best best water park, there are two amazing mat rides that you get a huge amount of air through. Usually I go once on Nor' Easter, a couple times on SS and the marathon the Great White. The last few camel humps in the back are quite nice. It's nice and rough back there too. :wink:

Those mat rides are insane!! I love going on them, its just the hike to the top that makes me not do it a million times in a row.

Memories of the summer flooding back right now. Me and my friend must've made that 100+ stair trip over 30 times in one day. I Also got a cut trying to do somekind of a trick mid-air :? Not so smart, but those are amazing none the less. While making those trips there was a kid marathoning AtmosFear, the new drop tower. He must've done it over 50 times.

Hey, Wildwood had a Jack Rabbit, it was lcated next to Castle Dracula at Nickel's Midway Pier on top of the old mill Dungeon ride. It was built in 1919 the same year the old mill was built and demolished in the fall of 1984. Generations of people rode the old mill and coaster and now they're both gone. The old mill was lost in the Castle Dracula fire of 2002. The Jack Rabbit was retitled Scream Machine in 1976, after the Nickels brothers took over the old Marine Pier West, but then the Nickels had a dispute with Six Flags over the name and renamed it Dracula's Screem Machine. The other wooden coaster at Wildwood was the Hunt's Pier Flyer which was built in 1956-57 for the pier's grand opening on the former site of Hunt's Ocean Pier which burned Dec. 1943. The Flyer was demolished by the pier's new owners (took over 1986 from William "Bud" Hunt who retired, he passed away 1991) in 1989 along with several other classic rides on the left side of the pier, the other side from the Golden Nugget. There was no wooden coaster in Wildwood between 1989 and 1996 when the Great White opened.

 I think there are no longer any historic wooden coasters left in NJ built in the early 20th century, are there? The oldest wooden coaster in the entire eastern PA, NJ, DE is the Thunderhawk at Dorney Park, built in 1923. Well, there's also the Cyclone at Coney and the Dragon at Rye Playland, NY. All other woodies are newer. Funchase.com and mrboardwalk.net have plenty of stuff on Wildwood's past. Wildwood's past is still being erased now as old 1950's motels are torn down for condominiums as developers pressure ma and pa motel (and restaurant) owners with large sums of $ to sell and leave. It just makes me sick.  :cry:

Stop.  They are making Nor'Easter tan?  Why?  Ugh...

[Bubba Z]

I said the same thing to myself RJ "WHY TAN"

Off topic : About Wildwood Condos my friend did that with their Hotel.  They took the back half, knocked it down and built a three story condo. They made over 30 million dollars in doing so. This is why I think a lot of the older people who own hotels just sell them so they can stop working and retire.

[chilled182]

rwk, all of the south jersey old time woodies are long gone.  Alcyon lake park, riverview beach, and now clemetnon, along with many others.  Gone.

RJ.. yes.. its true.. but i cant find the pictures.

Eww.

I liked this red-pink color. But tan, come on!

[rjholla2003]

Tan is like sand, which is calm and relaxing.  Red is like the sky at morning right before that big Nor'Easter hits!
