In the 70s Wildwood had 6 piers. Fun, Marine, Midway, Hunts, Surfside and Sportland. My favorite will always be Hunts pier, but Fun pier had some cool rides too. Plus the monorail and sky ride. Sportland had the adrenaline filled Hell Hole. With all those piers, the competition between pier owners must of been brutal. Although it was the best years of the Wildwood boardwalk. The best memories of my life.
