Wildwood Memories: 1970s Boardwalk Stroll | Vintage 8mm Home Movie New Jersey

[@TGP109]

Those were the days! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane and thanks Mom and Dad for taking us there! You can really see how much sand has built up, the water was much closer to the Boardwalk back then.

I miss those days too lots of great memories!

great footage of all those classic rides. i cant believe Wildwood once had a skyway AND a monorail.

[@JPL1311]

Definitely miss those classic rides from my childhood

[@JanOsborne-Sage]

Thank you so much for sharing. Wildwood, NJ was always one of my favorite places during the summer 👍😍👍☮️✨.

[@JPL1311]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow, we’ve been going to North Wildwood on and off for 25 years, perhaps more. None of this shown is still there, obviously, I had no idea that there was a Skyrail and a monorail! Wow. I have pics when our Mum took us there during the 70’s ( this is before I had my own small family) and again, everything that was once there, long gone. Great video, thanks for posting it. So, make that 50 years, total, amazing! Yep, Mack’s pizza is still on the boardwalk, after all these years, prolly more that I will see and remember.

Yeah before I found this footage I thought I imagined some of these things!

[@TGP109]

Mack's and Douglas Fudge/Candies.

Wow man, I miss those days. I believe that was the year we saw "Airport " at the Blaker theater just off the boardwalk. Loved the Flyer and the Golden Nugget mine ride on Hunts pier. I just visited Wildwood last week and it broke my heart. It's changed so much. No going back. 😔

[@JPL1311]

Keystone Cops and the Jungle River ride were also awesome!

[@gregggoss2210]

@@JPL1311,forgot about those. 👍

[@JP5466]

I saw "Jaws" at the Blaker in July 1975. When the theater emptied all you could smell was the ocean during low tide... fun times!

[@TGP109]

The Golden Nugget was one of my favorites too! Did you know the Knoebel's in Penna. bought the ride and turned it into a coal mining theme? I plan to go up there and ride it again.

[@gregggoss2210]

@@TGP109 , did not know that. Interesting.

[@mindlessdroid3630]

Fun Pier was an amazing place back in the day. Always loved the train that went under Marine Pier.

[@JPL1311]

I loved the Keystone Cops and the Jungle River Ride!

[@rogerrendzak8055]

Had one on Hunt's Pier, too.

[@JP5466]

That's gotta be 1970 or 71... before Kong was put there. If I only had a time machine!

[@JPL1311]

I know would love to go back to Wildwood in the 70s and visit all the classic attractions!

[@apocyldoomer]

One wonders what became of all these people seen strolling the Boardwalk, I know, I’m strange, just a thought in my alleged mind!!

[@JPL1311]

I'm sure some of the children seen are now taking their kids and grandkids telling stories about the good old days

[@apocyldoomer]

@@JPL1311 Yes, of course.

[@rogerrendzak8055]

What happens to everyone; they die…… Oh, about alleged mind. 'Alleged'??
