WILDWOOD ROLLERCOASTERS IN SUMMER 1991 - KAMIKAZE & THE SEA SERPENT

Go back in time with a flashback of the summer of 1991 and Wildwood, New Jersey's crazy rollercoasters!! Here we feature the Kamikaze and The Sea Serpent in Wildwood, where it's a carnival every night of the summer! From 1989 - 1991, me and my wife, rode the Kamikaze and The Sea Serpent 100 plus times! The Kamikaze has since been dismantled, and last I've heard, moved to an Amusement Park in Atlanta, Georgia, probably a Six Flags Great Adventure.

    Fun fact Kamikaze was moved to Six Flags Over Georgia in 1992 where it was know as Ninja and was painted red in 2015 they closed it down because of guest hating the ride because it was really rough heads banging on the shoulder restraints so in 2017 or 2016 it was rethemed painted blue new trains and restraints and new name called Blue Hawk now alot of guest do like the ride very much

    In 1986, Hunt's Pier Associates, a group of local investors headed by David Kami(hence how the Kamikaze got its name), assumed control of the pier. At the end of the 1988 season, Kami and his investors demolished the Flyer, Jungleland, and Skua. In 1989 the pier opened with the Kamikaze, but that only lasted 3 seasons, which was longer than the investors did. Prior to the 1991 season, the pier was purchased by Conklin Shows, a Canadian-based carnival operator. The location opened as Conko's Party Pier over a 4 year stretch during which business continued to decline and many rides sat idle for long stretches. The Catanoso family were the last to try and save Hunt's Pier when they transformed it into Dinosaur Beach Adventure Theme Park Pier in 1996. Just thought I'd add this info for you guys as I just finished reading the book "Images of America: Hunt's Pier", which was released around 2012 and where I got the above information. And yes, Moreys' open the Nor'Easter in 1995, but that was on Moreys Pier, not Hunt's.
