Huge WPST fan. Got to guest DJ with Jason in that studio in September of 97. He even let run the board for a song or 2 since he knew I was going DJ work. I remember this reunion weekend. Have a few audio tapes full of some of the airchecks. As another user said, extremely cutting edge and was one of the best.

How disrespectful to participate in debauchery like this and then you call yourselves godly people

This is so cool! Reminds me of my childhood in Philly back in the 80s.

I used to party there at that time, I was 20, it was wild. At night time people used to walk down the main strip drinking, beer. I distinctly remember leaving an empty beer on the bank lol. I remember they had a lot of clubs, you could hear the music blasting from outside. I heard they cleaned all that up since then and it's nice now. But it was nice to be low 20's party town for us back then.

I worked there 3 months in summer, 2002 on the program Work and Travel! Nice place and a fair owner! All the best from Bern, Switzerland!🇨🇭

I grew up in Cape May County. I was 17 that summer..beautiful fun memories❤😂🎉

Great video! I actually felt like I was on the Golden Nugget ride again! What memories!

Been doing the parade since I was a baby! PIRATES BABY!

Jungle land and the log flume ride and almost exactly the same as the desperado plunge and jungle land at the great escape in lake George New York

@mel I can not believe this! I just was looking up old videos of wildwood and spotted me and my Dad on the Tramcar!!! The guy that says “hey”!! Omg! Thank you so much for capturing this moment!!

The flyer was my very first coaster around 50 years ago when I was 9 or 10. 86 was my last year there until I returned to the east coast on big coaster tour of the US in 2013 only to find all the rides on hunts pier were gone

Love this place. Andres food is 👌👌👌

It would great to have mummers in South Carolina.

i love this. i saw a screen of the Val Shively doc last night at the Rock & Roll HOF in Cleveland. it reminded me so much of my days growing up in Overbrook, near 69th st. did a quick google search on 69th st in the 80s and found this. awesome video. thanks for sharing.

Such a time capsule of a video -- thanks for sharing!

Well now I’m depressed 😂

Wow! 69th St was poppin!

Wow...Loved Wildwood. This would have been around the time that I was going Down the Shore by myself.

Allof nyFav rides as akid in the60"s-70:s

Every so often, I return to watching this fabulous video. Thank you Mel and John...

Goly gee jew lighting in New Jersey...nothing to see here🤫

The 80s were my golden years in Wildwood omg we had so much fun...

Some things just, don't change. 'Cept the rides, their theme quality, their interest ability, the non monopolization of pier ownership, the PRICES, the amount of courtesy, the amount of people, those horrible, hair/clothing fashions, the cellphone technology. Uh, what was, I saying🤔⁉️

The Flyer is the little brother to the Sea Dragon here in Columbus (I think).

What a bunch of retards

Dot matrix printer portraits,computer palm readings ......just give me shoot out the star! Lol

My god the money the Morey's made and are still making

I love the clothing....haircuts and the music being played

What a time. I just turned 21 in 86. Crazy times in Wildwood. I love the look of this....done on film.

Thoses same exact old outdated tram cars are now charging $5! One way🤦🏻‍♂️

Loved Hunts pair when I was kid.

What a goofy, funny video. I can't believe how glorious this old school video is.

10 years later and I don't remember commenting on this video at all. This video is hilarious. Also I'm sorry about the old fat septa worker comment. What a dick I was 10 years ago. well I'm still a dick. See ya again in 10 years.

Must be really cool to be Morrissey !

JAKEEEEEEEEEE

I see that I commented on this 14 years ago. I’m there now… It’s a former shell of what use to be great fun. Now it’s a commercial nightmare. Morey’s has taken over and everything is very expensive. Dante’s Inferno Demon Pitch Fork is still broken 😂 and, a lot of rides are just not manned. The younger gen is a toxic bunch. Standing around looking sus smoking weed… I wish for the 80’s to return.

epic! i was riding go carts that day i was 10

It must be SO cool to be famous !

Loved this video. I performed with a band in Wildwood from 1974 to 1977. I saw a Senior Discount :) Now I'm a senior at age 71!! Wonderful memories.

Aww he was so patient with everybody. So sweet. And Jake besides him all along.

I grew up in Athens, PA, and they used to advertise Brigantine Castle on WPIX out of NYC. I always wanted to go there, but I never did. I happen to be thinking about this place, and it brought me here.

This now almost 80 year old was a 17 year old senior in high school on January 1st 1961. My Uncle Russell invited me to join in the parade on 2 Street since he was as mummer. It’s a memory I’ve never forgotten, as a shy young teenage boy learned what 2 Street was all about, booze, frisky girls and the best night of my life. Yep, I even learned and can still do the Mummer’s Strut!!!

A little slice of heaven here on earth. Thanks for this. Much much better times.

Log flume

Remember the pirate ship?

Thanks for the great video! Brought back a lot of memories. My family used to go to Wildwood every June for a week from the mid-1970s until about 1980. My favorite rides as a kid were the Whacky Shack and the Golden Nugget mine ride. In fact, that Golden Nugget mine ride made such an impression on me that I now explore abandoned mines as a hobby here on KZbin. I’ve met one other abandoned mine explorer who told me the same thing, too! That Golden Nugget mine ride certainly was a classic! We always stayed at the Ranch House Hotel in Wildwood which burned to the ground sometime in the 1980s, I believe. Right next-door to it used to be a restaurant which I believe was called the Blue Dolphin. Not sure if that still standing. I guess most of those doo-wop hotels are no longer standing. They were really creative and cleverly designed hotels that all had a unique, crazy theme. Ah, memories!

In person signing with other music playing?

Thank you so much for sharing. I had so much fun in Wildwood in the late 80's and 90's. We would rent a shack for pennies and just have fun. Sitting on the beach hiding our beers. Pool hoping to clean the sand off us, and then enjoying the boardwalk until it closed. So much has changed and now Wildwood has priced itself out of my pay grade. I can go on better destination vacations for cheaper than a week in Wildwood......I still have those memories though

What a shame. We lost the ocean view on the boardwalk in Atlantic City.

The person giving instructions on that music express ride at 2:40 is my aunt. She passed away in early 2021 from liver failure. I wasn’t around to experience the 80s, so it’s really cool to get a glimpse of this.
