I just talked to Chuck, and we should be getting down there by 1:30, maybe 2:00... we'll see. Eitehr way, 2 of the 3 piers won't be open until 5.


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

As much as I would love to go.
I can't make it
Tina had surgery and I need to hang around here.

But I do expect Pictures and Trip Report from at least one of you guys
And Chuck sorry I couldn't make it
Have fun guys and be safe

Melissa just got a note from the doctor/hospital saying she can't work for the next 72 hours. So if she's up to snuff, she'll be coming too.

Tom, I'm going to attempt to bring my camera. Of all of my visits to Wildwood, I have not one picture.

I have many pics of Wildwood over the Years
and some of the old Hunts Pier Kamikaze 

I even have a Movie that was filmed in Wildwood called   Touched
shows them riding the Hunts Pier Flyer
and the Scream Machine that was on Nickels pier
I just transfered it from VHS to DVD  very hard to find

I will be going down next month and will take many pics Hopefully of a New Coaster for 2010

Here is a Pic from 1994 ( I think) I always bring a shovel to the beach \/ thats me on the right black shades on

edit: fixed it i was adjusting settings in smugmug and turned off external links here one of 5032 pics i have on the site

" I'm going to Germany!!! "

Great White X6  Lot's of new wood has this running extremely well

Jersey Junk Yard   The best two props in dark ride history... The Shocker and Puke man.

Mummy 3D Live actors could help this attraction out.

Macks Pizza A little greasy , but great crust.

Polish H20 Ice Cotton Candy, good stuff!

Sea Shell themed Tilt-a-whirl   Crazy Air time!

Rollie's  Get rid of the OTSR, would make for an even better ride!

Sea Serpent one of the better ones, but I still hate boomerangs.

Great Nor Easter Nice light show and restraints,  but however it will be my first and last ride on it,  Just Horrible!

Zoom Phloom  Best ever !  Still not sure how the boat in front of us made it around!!!

Doo Wopper  Less brakes please, The first mouse I wasn't scared of , so boring!

AtmosFear Awesome views of the ocean with a great drop!

Flipper's   Eight insane words.... Blue line, Speedy Bingo, Eight Ball cover all.

Lexus  Thank god I wasn't driving Home! Zzzzzzzzzz  Thanks Wade!!!!!

Great night with Friends  Priceless !

LMAO

That was definately the quote of the night.  And I was only awake due to having the windows down for half the ride and then the AC cranked once the wind got on my nerves.  After that, Reflections of Earth somehow kept me awake.  I must have been thinking I was pulling a all night drive to Disney World or something lol

Yes, it was good time but holy crap did Nor Easter suck.  The harnesses are awesome but can't resolve issues with horrible tracking due to what I presume is bad gauging and sucky wheels.

Now Great White rocked!  Esp. the shuffle seat.  And having the shell come off the platform was almost scary.

I'll still ride the NorEaster, but it's definitely still not that great. But the harnesses make it much better.

What an awesome night, guys! They call him Flipper, Flipper, Flipper's Fascination... :D

True about Nor' easter... it still blows... my first ride was decent, but the 2nd ride was awful. Atmosphere is where the party was that night! It was great seeing everyone, even if the main reason for us going there wasn't really around that much.

I thought atmosphere was way better than those air powered things.  And it wasn't even that tall!  Nice view of the ocean to.

The "Shell" Tilt-A-Whirl was very crazy that night too. We kept scraping the platform when we'd turn real fast.
