Trip Reports

My son and I went down to Wildwood for a day trip to check on the house. The weather was nice...chilly, but sunny. Here are some pictures and observations. Vegas is staying open all winter this year. They are open everyday from 8 to 2. Gateway put a digital sign in the back. They have a used BMW

Here is a look back to 2012 when Morey's Piers ran Morey's Fears for the second and last year. My son in front of the Morey's Fears entrance. The spooky teacups. They added some extra gore to the Ghost Shop. They changed Pirates of Wildwood into "The Other Side". Spooky ambience. They added a corn

So my family and I went down to Wildwood this weekend so that my son could work at Mariner's Arcade on Saturday and Sunday. The weather was great and we had a nice time, but the unsanctioned H2O car event put a blemish on the trip. There were endless kids with loud obnoxious cars driving up and do

We finally heading back to our beloved Aloha at the point after a 6 year hiatus. It was a picture perfect vacation. in fact we loved it so much(PERFECT 80 degree weather and not a drop of rain of one greenhead) that come friday, our last day we could not bear to leave and stayed till Sunday at the C

I was down in Wildwood at the end of June to celebrate my son's 16th birthday. The weather was pleasant and we had a great time. Here are some pictures and observations: This new game is at the old Olympic block. I think you need to shoot balls into the volcano or bowls. So the door at the back o

I took a weekend trip with my Fiancé and her daughter and stayed at the Imperial 500. This was our second time there and I had been there before for the Kenny Chesney concert. I have nothing but good things to say about the Imperial. This has to be one of the best run motels on the island. The famil

I was down with the kids from Friday to Sunday and the weather was beautiful. My son worked on Saturday and Sunday, but we still got to do many of our favorite things. Here are some pictures and observations. Some of the Coke neon was out on Friday night, but it was working by Saturday. The lights

Since my husband had to work on Saturday, we didn't leave until 2:30; however, this time around it only took us 2 1/2 hours to get down there. We drove in around 5:30, and usually, we like to drive around before we check-in but I wanted to get settled. I was happily surprised to hear that we had bee

Even though the weather was cold and windy, we made a quick trip to Wildwood from Friday through Saturday to take care of a few things at the house. Here are a few observations from our trip. Although the boardwalk was empty...the Coke sign was on. Unfortunately, more of the neon in Cola is not wo

Since there hasn't been much activity on the forum, I figured I'd throw up a retro report. My son was only 2 months old and this was his first trip to Wildwood. He is now 15 and worked last summer on the boardwalk. His first time on the beach. It looks like it tired him out. Dante's Inferno had j

After sunset, these are photos of Christmas lights about town. https://doowopcity.wordpress.com/2021/11/26/its-beginning-to-be-a-doo-wop-christmas

My wife and I love strolling on the boardwalk in the peaceful off-season, especially in October. Here's our report; it was a short walk: just from Cedar Avenue to Gateway 26 and back. https://doowopcity.wordpress.com/2021/11/14/the-wildwood-boardwalk-in-october

Well, plans slightly changed. Shortly before vacation my girlfriend got word that she got a new job that starts the 1st, so we wouldn't be able to stay until the 2nd as planned. Thankfully, the Shalimar was accommodating and is offering us credit for next year's stay since they don't do refunds. To

It was our first time there. Here's our report, with some of the most beautiful pictures we ever took! I love this place. https://doowopcity.wordpress.com/2021/09/12/stella-star-at-the-doo-wop-drive-in Here's a preview.
