Anthony's MrBoardwalk.net is the premier source for news regarding the Wildwood boardwalk. It also provides an extensive array of pictures of each of the Wildwood amusement piers!
The summer I was born. So cool to see Wildwood during that time. I wish I was old enough to experience it in the 70s and early 80s. I do cherish my early memories of wildwood from 1987 on. Amazing to see so many of the stores and other places still standing. I will ALWAYS LOVE WILDWOOD! ❤️

This... couldn't have been the 80's. Castle Dracula should be visible around minute mark 11:15, but it's not. This must have been earlier.....

I was there in August of 1983 and saw "Private School". Big Phoebe Cates fan. I won a MLB batting helmet at a game where you threw a pitch and you had to duplicate the speed of the next pitch. They had a JUGS gun. I couldn't find that in the video. Anyways great video

People who take for granted the quality of the video we have today on our phones and video recording devices need to watch stuff like this from the 60's, 70's and 80's like this to really appreciate the awesome quality of video we have at our finger tips today. This is a great video, but the quality is just horrible for online viewing. I bet this would look much nicer if you hooked up the video recorder that took this video or a VCR to a Tube TV from back in the day.

`83 the year we moved to Wildwood. I was 8 yrs old. It was a great place to grow up but by 2000 it was time to get out(Myrtle Beach bound). I Go back now and it makes me kinda sad!, definitely not the town i grew up in. Cant imagine growing up as a kid there now, we had free reign of that town from September to April, couldn't imagine getting away with the stuff we did nowadays.

Great Video! I come back to watch every once in a while. First trip to WW was in 1963 at age 21 months, been going all of my life. I forgot how many enclosed eat-in restaurants with a/c there were on the BW.. plus a Roy Rogers and McDonalds. From going there with my parents, to going with my Kids, the memories are all great.

I love seeing older videos of Wildwood and this was 7 years before I was born. The only ride in this video I recognize was the enormous slide ride which they took down a few years ago and that looping coaster looks pretty cool. I think that is the location where the Sea Serpent is right now and the wooden rollercoaster looks like a smaller version of the Great White. Amazing how everyone in this video is going about their lives and now they're much older but overall it still looks like the spirit at Wildwood was the same.

Ahh soooo many stories Still go 2 or 3 weeks every August. I was raised 40 minute drive away. There's really nothing like Childhood. Those teams are from the 1939 World's Fair in NY. Wildwood found some of them and converted them to electric. They were diesel and made by Greyhound

I was there in 1983, but earlier than the time of this video because I was there the night of the fire of 1983. I was staying two blocks away from the fire with my family at the Maryland Hotel. I'll never forget that night, watching the fire from our hotel room as we were getting ready for bed. That wood burned fast and furious! Lit up the whole nightime sky!

You are correct, that was our 1st day off 7 we were staying at the pan American motel in Wildwood crest and it burned so much and they had everything roped off it was really ashame seeing everything we grew up with completely gone.

ALL, mostly vanished. ALL because of 'GREED'😔!!! Politics and greed, is what occurred (throughout the years) in Wildwood!! Coming back for a visit?? Can't hardly recognize, things? Too expensive, to vacation here? Blame politics/politicians, and the Wildwood businessmen (to be exact, 'Republicans'. You can't swing a dead Conservative without, hitting one here), for they favor money in their pockets, their families, AND their cronies, over your memories, or YOUR family's, you're/ their happiness, and well being 😞👎!!! …………And yet, they ALL blame it on the Liberals, and the 'blacks'…………
