I heard from a reliable source that there may be hope yet for something horror related at the castle site, but the Nickels have to settle their legal dispute with Splash Zone first before anything can proceed. Once the legal crap is over, and the Nickels have full title to the land free and clear, then it's the green light. I'm hoping for SOMETHING before 2010, lol

The problem is that the Nickels signed a 16 year lease with the people running the water park. They are trying to get out of the lease, but have not been able to so far. If they do get control of the land, I think they are still considering the Myan Temple ride.

Does that mean the waterpark will be a waterpark for 16 years? They should tear it down and rebuild the jack rabbit/dracula's screem machine, or build a bigger castle. What the heck were the Nickels thinking to all of a sudden ditch the amusement rides and lease the space for a waterpark? Morey's already has two waterparks, what are they trying to do? Compete with the Morey's? It won't work, Morey's have two big waterparks, Splash Zone has one small waterpark. I bet they go out of business in two years. What was the reason Sportland, Hunt's/Dinosaur Beach, went out of business or scaled back? Stiff competition from the Morey's. Why is it that all non-Morey's Piers no longer have "regular" amusement rides? It's because they can't compete with the Morey's. If Sportland got rides they wouldn't attract enough people to cover their operating costs. What would happen is they wouldn't be able to draw people away from the Morey's because the Morey's Pier would appeal to more people than a Sportland Pier with new rides would, unless Sportland could afford a ride that could be competitive with the Morey's, like a new roller coaster.

You have it all figured out robert.
As for the Nickels....I don't think they cared what was going to be built on Midway pier....they just wanted the lease money. They wern't getting a cut from the profits of the attractions.

Yep, thats right! The nickels dont care about the future of the pier at all!!!!!! They just want to get paid from splash zone! Also, most of the pier is all leased out to other people. Games, food, etc... They only operate there own arcade! The rest is all rented out space.

I really don't think the Nickels have the cash(or able to get loans) to build a big new shiny Castle or a woodie coaster. This stuff cost money..insurance for these places cost money...and the Nickels just don't have it any longer.

That's why I have my heart set on Niagara Falls now, they still have a "Castle Dracula" plus others, but the WW castle will never return. I don't care if the Falls castle is piss-poor inside compared to WW's ex-castle, I'd rather have a piss-poor castle than no castle at all. Remember, I haven't been to WW at all since the castle burned, last time I was there was 1998. MAYBE WW will have its castle back by 2020, lol.

The castle is never coming back! Not even in 2020! Wildwood is changing every minute and its plans are not for a castle! Just be thankful if all the piers are still there by 2020!

I predict that by the year 2020, New Orleans will be part of the Gulf of Mexico and California will be part of the Pacific Ocean. I also predict that Robert will still not have visited Niagara Falls, but will still be having wet dreams about it.

I smell a rat. No more posts from you know who please. I would rather read anything that nutball RWK has to write than anything the Moreys Lackey thinks is clever.
