Hey all, TNT Amuesments posted another tour of Randy's latest boardwalk location. In it, Randy revealed he will have an additional location opened on the boards next summer (sounds like it will be in North Wildwood) ...how cool!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D90214zEdgQ

Since all our old trip reports were lost with the old message board, I decided I would occasionally post some pictures from old visits to Wildwood. This report includes some pictures from June 20th, 2005. The old skeeball lanes in Gateway 26 after they moved them from the back of the arcade to one of the smaller front rooms. These were great because they use to take a dime. My wife posing in front of the old "Flame Inn" at 23rd and Surf. Me posing in front of the old Thunderbird Inn which was also on Surf. A look at the old Seaport Village before it was a swimming pool. Sportland Pier still had the Dairy Queen and arcade. Dr. Blood's House of Horrors was still standing, although it hadn't operated since the 80s. Morey's had just converted Dante's Inferno to Dante's Dungeon. Mariner's Landing had just converted Dark River to Pirates of Wildwood. The Cook's Shoppe was new this season. The big Curley's Fry sign on Morey's Pier was new. They had just knocked down the Captain's Table restaurant. They had just put in the Commerce Bank on Rio Grande Ave.
