I Remember when that ferris wheel was built. And the roller coaster.

[@user-is5vw4jt6w]

Wildwood still has the same Tram Cars from 50 years ago.

[@AllCentralFlorida]

The Tram Cars are from the 1939 worlds fair so they are nearing 100 years old.

[@user-is5vw4jt6w]

@@AllCentralFlorida Before I was born. I just know Wildwood from '78. And they are the same cars. They never got new ones. Just paint jobs.

[@AllCentralFlorida]

They do have some newer designed cars. advancelocal-adapter-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/image.nj.com/home/njo-media/width2048/img/capemay_impact/photo/24578561-standard.jpg

Hey! No bikes on the boardwalk after 11am.

[@user-is5vw4jt6w]

Or is it 10am. I don't remember.

[@AllCentralFlorida]

Noon. And they weren’t really enforcing it

[@user-is5vw4jt6w]

It's like Wildwood has not changed in 50 years.

[@AllCentralFlorida]

Gotta really have that DooWop vibe

[@user-is5vw4jt6w]

@@AllCentralFlorida Wildwood hasn't changed much because it hasn't been infiltrated by major corporations. Over 80% of the businesses and motels, near the boardwalk, are still privately owned small businesses. That's why.

They took down Count Draculas' Castle. I miss the French guillotine.

[@user-is5vw4jt6w]

@@infinite_vortex That's what happen? To bad. It was made out of wood.

[@infinite_vortex]

@@user-is5vw4jt6w yeah, some teenagers were hanging out in it during the off season when no one was there. lit a fire inside and that was the end of it. so sad.

[@user-is5vw4jt6w]

@@infinite_vortex Yeah, I looked it up online. It burned Jan 19th, 2002. Kids broke it and used aerosol for torches because there was no lights. Dumb! Use flash lights!

@@infinite_vortex I didn't know. I went there couple of years ago and noticed it wasn't there anymore. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWS3Y2htl7Z-qaM
