Same here, my parents took us from about 78 to 85 sunset into twilight on that boardwalk when the lights came on was magic as a kid.

When Wildwood was So much Better. Before All the condos took over

Agreed! Sadly it’s now more about money than family entertainment. Cold cookie cutter amusements, it was better when Mr hunt was building classic rides.

Now it's like Condowood😢

These were the good old days. I was 10yrs old in 1978. This brings back some really good memories. Thanks for posting this video.

I was here in 78. While only 6 years old I have vivid memories. Every summer for 2 weeks in Wildwood until I was maybe 15

I was 8 years old, living in Philly and this is where I spent my summers ...

Same here. My dad was a drummer then and played in many clubs in Wildwood and Stone Harbor.

Loved that ride (Keystone Kops), even as an adult!!

Wow. A couple of my favorites! Wipe Out and the Bumper Cars. Gosh, I was only 14 back then.

Just to get some perspective: Summer 1978 "Grease" was the biggest movie in the world. DISCO ruled ! Donna Summer "Dim All The Lights" and "Bad Girls", Also "Animal House" was a huge hit .

I was there in 1975... 'Jaws' was EVERYWHERE! That summer was hot as hell and people were NOT going in the water because they were afraid.

What a great video! Thanks for taking the time and effort to upload this gem. Brings back many memories. I can still vividly remember the sound of getting into the Swing Ride chair and the sound that the metal bar made along the supporting chains as the ride operator pulled it down into your lap before the ride would start. It was a summer milestone to ride those rides on the pier. Great stuff. Thanks again for posting this video.

Thanks for sharing!

I was there in 1978 too. I miss a lot of the old attractions from those times. I still love Wildwood and we go every year. Hunts Pier was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hunt's Ruled!!!

I remember that ride

My Dad didn't go on many rides but he always took me on the Satellite Jets on Hunt's Pier. One of the rare ones that had the tilting tower.

Like sands in the hour glass so are the days of our lives 💖

Shooting gallery with the light rifles

They had one that you were able to shoot the pump gallery model that fired .22 shorts. They also had the air powered BB machine guns. Great memories.

I still remember the light rifles. Shooting the red and white bullseye targets on the cuckoo clock, the guy playing the piano, the water pump, the traffic light, etc. Such great memories from the 70's and 80's. The rides...Wipe Out with King Kong towering over the slide, the Golden Nugget, Log Flume with the lumberjack sitting under it, and the Jungle boat ride next to it. I remember a white, wooden roller coaster, I think on Hunt's pier, with a train ride that weaved around underneath that coaster. Magic times, especially when the lights came on at night. Nothing will beat those memories.

Back in the day when Old Timers ran most of the rides.

Honestly, if you look at any of the Hunts pier videos from the mid-late 80s, that is what signaled the downfall of Hunts pier, long haired guys in concert, T-shirts operating the rides, not the older gentleman with a white button down shirt and a black tie like it was at least into the 70s

The hell hole ride OMG memories 😂

1980-1991 for me, every summer. One week at the Shore Plaza. My dad died December of 1991, and the shore wasn’t the same. We went to Wildwood (meaning my mom, sister and I) but it wasn’t the same after he passed. Now my sister is gone and I’m trying to maintain her love for WW with her kids.

Oh, yeah. If I can find the Wildwood videos I’m gonna upload them! No Sportland, but I have Casino Pier and Marine Pier.

Wow, I wonder where they all now,some dead, white pants with a black belt,that is the 70's alright !!

hey Joe, do you mind if I re-edit this and fix the colors and re-upload with credit to you?

Took my kids there for the first time this week (we stayed in OC, as usual if at the shore), and the boardwalk, while still impressive, just felt so soulless or something. I really think the downfall of the arcades has done damage too, used to walk the boards with my dad, play a couple bucks of games here and there, now its all just garbage stores, arcades full of 'vintage' stuff (old crap), and rip off places ($5 to play a water gun race game - NOPE). Was such a let down.

I was just looking into video for the Toboggan at Sportland Pier and came across this, do you mind if I use that clip for a video I'm making? I'll put on-screen credit and link back to this video. Please let me know, thanks!

I’m just seeing this go ahead and use it. I don’t mind.

I was recently in Wildwood and they dont make those ice cream waffle sandwiches that melted too quickly and became a gooey mess

Did you or anyone ride Whacky Shack and Dr. Blood's House of Horror, Hitchcock Manor, Lost World, or walk through Castle Frankenstein and Haunted House? I rode Lost World in 1982 and 1983 but not the others I listed.

Rob Krasinski We rode Whacky Shack every summer, it was a tradition! We always checked on the man on the toilet at the exit, he slipped further and further down the drain each summer.

@@joedoyle7799 Do you remember the order of the props inside like the lady being sawn in half, the clock, the knitwit, hell's kitchen, crooked mine, etc.? I saw a blueprint of the inside track layout on a facebook Castle Dracula page. Eric Princz posted blueprints of it, he owned the ride toward the end. He worked at Brigantine Castle and Castle Dracula.

Excellent footage. do you have any from the 80's and 90's?

Too bad a lot of this cool stuff was before my time. I wasn’t alive until 1993…

The Hell Hole was the best

Basically what I think the people are saying at 0:38 Woman: Where on earth did you get one of those!? *slaps camera* Dang I wish I could have a little camera that size!" Old Man: Oh well this I got at Sears for just under $50. Woman: At Sears!? Old Man: Yes yes. Woman: Is that so? Old Man: I believe a Instamatic X,-35? It is? Yeah it take's real good photos for it's unique size.

Now have to watch some of the scum bag foreigners in t shirt shops & games. Sign stated x amount for kids shirt. We purchased 2 and they were $8 more. Told me that was for pressing charge. Game operators will give you a smaller prise so I complained. Said there was only 4 people using water guns when there was 7 or 8. Will never purchase a shirt or pay for rip off boardwalk games. Worst then carnival cheaters. Love it when they can speak clear English but go with a hard to understand acent when you have a complaint. We were down in May and some of the stores on boardwalk had stands all the way out to tram car cement roadway making it a pain to walk. Now go down to much cleaner quiter Ocean City Md two weeks a year. They also have so matter better resturants.
