so iwas in sea isle for the week last week and went into wildwood for my yearly trip. went down to the old castle site and seen fencing all around it now, before it was just halfway. and some construction trailers inside the site. anyone know anything? i seen old Mr nickels up to his old shenanigans trying to get people inside his money machine, using the same tactics as when he had the horse racing game inside. didn't see anything going on at the nugget site, but noticed all the buildings were off the last pier on the boardwalk. (North wildwood) after sport land. anyone have any idea on whats going on there?? other then that all was the same in wildwood, i didn't see the zombie world working, but then again i was there early. i hope they do something soon, I'm already getting tired of Dante's dungeon, its a cool ride but its short and getting tedious. oh well Halloween is almost here and soon we will have an array of haunted rides popping up for a while and it may satisfy some of the cravings. my favorite is here www.nightofterror.com if your in the area some give it a try.

They took everything off of the Seaport pier due to mold or something to that effect. The last I heard they were going to put a hotel with a resturant and an indoor waterpark on that pier.

sorry lorenzo, hate to prove you wrong, but i did see one of the nickles hawking a chance to get in the money machine the night i was there. i even said to a friend that i cannot believe he is still there. they still own the arcade, and have a definate visable presence there on occasion.

Sorry but you didnt prove me wrong !!If you did see a nickels "hawking" Then It was jimmy not an "old guy" Because The guy you think you know about is nicky,who hasnt been involved in the pier for a few years now.The place is run by the younger Nickels now Oh one last thing Dont try and correct me about The Nickels again !! as You THINK you know about them ,I do !!! Ive been friends with the family for about 25 years

number one geek, i know what i SEEN and it was an OLDER nickels there that day runing a game. if you knew them as well as you say you do, youd check your sources and ask them if in fact an older one was there. and two, i wish i had a dime for every butthead who came on here and said they were personal friends of the nickels. everyone wants to cash in on the fame of knowing one, but as of yet i have to meet or talk to one who really does. you scare me with your idle threats geek.

seriously lorenzo, didnt mean to step on any toes. since your so close to the nickels maybe you can answer this. anything being talked about a new castle? did they ever connsider it? or still are? since you know them so well maybe you can give some insight on why they never rebuilt and if they inend to hang on to the part of the pier they own. any answers on this?

From the next summer after the fire,John has had really cool plans for a new ride ( don't ask not telling) ,But any plans are on hold until the battle with Capt. Andy is done ! Until then nothing can be done with the site .He still holds a lease so the Nickels are always in court .Its a long complicated Legal thing ,but once he is gone they wish to bring Midway back like the old days

Dude! Guess who I saw on Pacific Ave the same day I saw you on Rio Grande? BJ...first time I talked to him in YEARS! About the 'older' Nickles running things...to us, they are the younger guys, but to those that are younger, even Jimmy might seem older. Ahh, I remember the first year the Castle was open and Jimmy and Nancy got banned from the Dungeon 'cause they broke so many flood lights jumpin' over the moat. ...ps...the Make-up room was NOT for sleeping!!!!
