I immediately thought, "That's Helen Henny!" And then just as you were saying it, I thought "That's a Chuck E. Cheese band!" I used to work as Chuck himself in high school. My title was "Walk Around Character." Best job ever!

I've loved animatronics, it varies, but I find them unique and interesting. Disney still keeps them alive mostly, but the old days of animatronic bands are sadly done for. While I hate to admit it, FNAF has brought some renewed interest in animatronics, both people wanting to view them and own/refurb them. So I think we could see a eventual resurge, but with Scott Cawthon no longer making FNAF games, interest might dewindle.

I’m very impressed with how well this amusement park has been maintained. And the Dark Ride is epic!

Its so nice to see that they're taking such good care of their animatronics!!

Those characters up on the building actually were aliens from an old buzz lightyear style shooting game, it was a really fun dark ride I loved it when I was little! It then got turned into a minigolf course and then a pizza place took over. It’s pretty cool they kept the figures around though. I honestly never noticed that despite basically living there oops.

The Dark ride should be called the Bright Ride. So cool. thank you for sharing with us.

There's mini golf too. Wow!😮😮😮😮😮

That's reasonable. And I love seeing those Animatronic creatures.😊

I'm from the south but went to Ocean City a few times with cousins from Philadelphia. Good to see Gillians again, and good to see nothing has changed. Its underrated, so classic, so good

I’ve been going there since I was a baby! One of my favorite attractions was the train ride around the park. Looking and listening to the animatronics now make this part of the board walk seem like a time capsule! Sadly, it does seem as though they have painted over the past wild-west theme with the White Castle mural instead :(

Good to see that they are holding up real well, considering its history and age!

Grew up in jersey. Should go south to wildwood nj .by far the biggest boardwalk in jersey and imo the best .

I've never been to ocean city New Jersey. Glad you shared this. Sure is beautiful.

Jacob, The Bill Tracy tombstone is in honor of the dark ride that used to be on the pier that he created, called Ghost Creek Caverns. It closed back in the mid-80's.

i always love seeing new vidoes of animatronics to see what condition they are in

What an adorable Dark Ride! Thanks for going thru twice! 😜💕

OMG I HAD NO CLUE YOU WERE IN JERSEY! DUDE Ocean City is a Lovely little town! I'm glad you liked it!

I saw those animatronics in a video a while ago but had no idea there were in ocean city! I go every summer with my family

Great video I use to go to Ocean City NJ as a kid So this brought back a lot of memories

Fuzzy bunny lol! She's faking it. Love that on the Simpsons!🙂Congratulations on the holes in one! That course is Super Awesome!🥳🤘

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon, the little dog laughed to see such sport and the dish ran away with the spoon. You were close though. 😂

that train looks so cool to ride.i love how it goes outside

Thanks so much for taking us along with you to OCNJ, we just came back from there!

This place is really cool I had no idea that it existed! Imagine taking your entire childhood and putting it into a theme park. That’s what this place is giving me right now.

look so cool lots thing can do there ty for showing this video

Keep heading south down the coast! There’s Wild Wood, NJ, the Cape May Ferry, Rehoboth beach, DE (there’s a dark ride on their boardwalk), and ocean city MD

The ride was designed by Wayne Seddon who worked for Bill Tracy. Some of the stunts are from Gillian’s first dark ride, Tracy’s Ghost Creek Caverns. Some of the stunts were molded from Tracy stunts and some were built by Wayne to resemble Tracy stunts, like the prisoner, the rat and the bat. Wayne made the gravestone as a homage to his former boss. www.laffinthedark.com/articles/gillians/ghh_P1.html

Jacob! This is one of you best! Thank you.

The fact he said "Jillian's" Wonder Park instead of "Gillian's" Wonder Park just killed my mood, I live literally one block away from it and it used to be my happy place.

Love this vlog and all the Ocean City videos.

That log ride is perfect for these summer 🥵

Well done as usual, Jacob, I really appreciate the videos you produce. I can remember this one from when we used to gown the shore for 6 weeks every summer back in the 80s. Nice to see they have recovered from the hurricane.

I am loving these classic amusement park videos!

Ocean city NJ is my Family's vacation spot. We go (almost) every year. I've been on Dark Ride several times. I looks like it was refurbished recently and it looks great!

My family used to go here for summer vacation every year when I was a kid. This was back in the 80s. I have so many fond memories of this place, and it doesn't look like all that much has changed! It also holds a special place in my heart because I had my first ever dark ride experience there. It wasn't the Dark Ride featured here, though. At the time, they had a haunted mine cart ride. Sadly, it appears to be lost to history. Thank you for this lovely trip down Memory Lane!
