Yesterday I went to the boardwalk in Seaside Heights to go play some arcade games. Well, as I was driving past Breakwater Beach I noticed the big 50ft. slide gone!!! They tore it all up and removed everything. I was so dissapointed because this was such a thrill when I was younger!
Now I ask, what is going there? I will be sure to go back and get some pics to show you guys and I will report on anything new..
-
50 ft sounds pretty out dated. Maybe theyre looking towards thier future.
Maybe a tornado? haha
-
Is everyone getting a tornado? :P
-
It seems like it. It seems we are one of the only parks that doesn't ahve one :lol:
-
I doubt its a Tornado, theres not much room there for one. It's just a shame they took that down, that was the best thrill I had when I was a kid.

They have to be replacing it with something! Jenkinson's just bought that I think last season and I am pretty sure that entire area is going to get an eventual complete overhaul. I love Star Jet but, I would LOVE to see a local Pier get something a little more adult in the coaster department. I know i'll never see a Great White 15 minutes from my front door. :cry:
-
At least I got that Skyscaper on Casino Pier. That thing is INSANE!

The owner of the arcade I work at owns both Lucky's and Big Top in Seaside. When I see him tommarrow I'll see if he has heard any buszz cause for some reason he always knows whats going on.

Well today I went over to Seaside Heights and Ortley Beach with my girlfriend since it was so nice out today. While I was there, I brought my camera and took shots of the piers and of the waterpark being worked on. They ripped down more slides and have started work on footers and I wonder what is going on? Well here are the pictures...

That looping kiddie coaster doesnt look to pleasing. It would scare me crapless.
-
lol overlord.. we have something similar in OC, and its not all that wonderful either.
Wow i'm so not used to shore points that look like that. Being a southerner, Ive been around OC and wildwood most of my life. Although im sure its nice to have something little and less crowded to resort to.

I just love how you refer to it as "we have something similar" :lol:
That new wild mouse was operating in the summer when I was down there, but i didn't bother to ride because it wasn't worth the money. That looper is a little rough, but thank god its not that long.
