    I wasn't there since July 5-9, 2011 either, and before that June 1998, June 1996, August 1995, and August 1983 and August 1982. I got to experience Hunt's Pier with my late father who passed March 8, 1986 to a car hitting him at night when walking 2 miles from our house, and I experienced Castle Dracula and Dungeon boat ride in the 90's, and Dinosaur Beach 1996 and 1998, rode the Golden Nugget several times again and Escape from Dinosaur Beach ride and in 1998 Log Flume and Rapids for the first and last time. All of those things no longer exist, Dinosaur Beach closed after 1998, Castle Dracula burned down Jan 16, 2002 because two guys who skipped school broke into the exit of the castle and lit a torch to see and it caught fire and they ran out and down to the street and were arrested by a officer. They didn't get jail time because they were minors at the time. You can ride a new version of the Nugget at Knoebel's. I have a younger brother and we lost our mom last June 14 because her breathing was bad, she was willing to take us to Wildwood all those times even in the 90's after our father passed away and in July 2011. I went through Ghost Ship then as well as a short lived haunt called Morbid Manor on Sportland Pier by Eric Princz who worked for Brigantine Castle through 1984, then Castle Dracula 1985 and a few of the older former Castle Dracula people like Colleen Kittrick at the ticket booth, Ed Kennedy her ex-husband, and Anita Wheeler worked there as well. I bet most people under 22 and first time visitors 2002 and up never knew Castle Dracula existed.

    Ambassador to the Wildwoods Thank you Joey for all the great vidios. Can remember about a year ago you mentioned that you and your lovely wife were taking time from your bust schedules to volunteer for Ukraine aide. Are you still doing that. We like to go down for a three or four day weekend trip to Wildwood mother's day weekend. Parking meters are still free to believe middle of May. A friend told me that he paid $4.30 for a slice of plain boardwalk pizza. Thought we only paid $3 or a little more two summers ago. Hard to figure out who does best job for the Wildwoods you or the two Morey brothers. Both are best in class.

    Hey!!! Yes we are still volunteering (creating IFAKs and Military Medical Backpacks), We are also raising money for my wife's town and family. The biggest thing they need are drones. Meters are still free until the 15th I believe but Morey's has their meters on. (yes pizza slices are stupidly expensive now)

    Well, the Great White which opened in 1996 is still there at the end of the former Fun Pier which was rebranded Wild Wheels Raceway and Adventure Pier in 1992 after Morey's bought it in 1987. Now, it's just Adventure Pier. There was supposed to be a wood coaster built between Surfside (Morey's) and former Dino Beach/Hunt's piers but it never happened. The only other surviving wood coasters on the eastern seaboard are the Cyclone in Coney Island, NY and the Swamp Fox at Family Kingdom in Myrtle Beach, SC.

    I do hope that the Ghost Ship reopens. Wildwood hasn't been the same since the loss of Castle Dracula to fire on Jan 16, 2002. With it closed the only scary ride is Dante's Dungeon on the other pier to the north, Pirate's of Wildwood isn't so much scary anymore than when it was Dark River, it's more of a blacklight trip through Wildwood.

    Two reasons, maintenance and the wind. In the off-season, we have some crazy wind down here and the less gondolas you have on it the less surface friction, the wind has on the wheel.
