I like your screenname. I could have walked throught that ship blindfolded with no problem. That was my favorite ride! So we are all clear, skuakid is not related to me! I loved the Skua too! The slanted room was my favorite and I always fell down on the spinning barrel. My knees hurt just thinking about it. True, we are not related, but we share a love for that great ship. When I was tall enough, I used to plant my hands overhead and spin around in the barrel.

Ahh yes, the Skua was a thing of beauty and such a shame that it's now gone. skuakid: Do you have any photos of it? hunts: I can't get onto the Mr. Boardwalk board because my account is still pending? What is that all about?

You know... deep inside that demented soul of yours, there's a little girl who loves moldy motels, Groff's, Huss Rides, and heck, has aspirations of becoming Mrs. Boardwalk.

You know... deep inside that demented soul of yours, there's a little girl who loves moldy motels, Groff's, Huss Rides, and heck, has aspirations of becoming Mrs. Boardwalk. Humm.....let me think about this. I only love moldy motels when they are leveled....Groff's during the winter when it's closed, and Hitler (Huss) Rides when they are still in Germany. As for any aspirations of becoming Mrs. Boardwalk....I don't think I could take the endless days of inhaling paint fumes while painting POS rides like the Jersey Junkyard.

Let's just think about it this way... atleast you love all of the above in some sort of way. As far as your aspirations go, don't you think paint fumes would be the least of your worries? It might take away some of your precious time of judging people over the internet.

I don't really hate anyone. I just think that Anthony does not give the people at the museum, and the people that donated their personal items to the museum, proper credit. He is great at claiming things as his own. And also, his website is riddled with grammatical mistakes and spelling errors. It is embarrassing to read. And finally, Anthony has a very big ego....which can be hard to stomach. Now Ralph Grassi at Funchase.com does an excellent job with his website. That is a pleasure to read.

Crippled Visions- Alright, not "hatred" but "a very strong dislike" may be a better way to describe your feelings toward Anthony.
Do you have an actual experience of donating something to the museum? I'm not sure if you do but I have donated several things and both Anthony and Bob Bright asked if our family wanted credit noted about each specific item; which we agreed to on some pieces but not others. (The items that my mother and I agreed that should not be credited were more important to Wildwood's history and did not classify as Hunt's memorabilia.) The day I was at the Boyer, two other people came in to donate items and I am sure their families will be credited. Also, I was told to credit the museum for any photos that I use; which I plan on doing when my site is launched. I've never heard or saw anything on his website that says those images are his own... he has several disclaimers mentioning that the photographs, slides, movies, etc. were from the Boyer.
Have you ever met Anthony or are you just making assumptions based on his site, message board posts, other people, etc? I've met Anthony several times and I don't think he has a big ego... he's very down to earth, knowledgable about Wildwood and overall, a great guy. He's never shown me or my family any disrespect in any way so I don't understand your feelings towards him.
As for the grammatical and spelling mistakes, I (hope) he will correct them... the information on his site is so important to Wildwood and I have noticed them as well. He's renovating his site so it will be a work in progress; much like my own site. Bottom line is that we ALL are human and make mistakes from time to time; no one is perfect (as much as I would like to think so about myself!) I'm sure you have misspelled or wrote a message board post that was incorrect at one time or another.... and that is OK.
I've never personally met Ralph Grassi but we shared several e-mails. He seems like a nice guy and I do enjoy his website too.
Overall, I don't understand where your claims are coming from about all these topics.... sorry. If you have a personal experience of actually meeting him, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, I don't think it's right for you to keep making accusations and assumptions about someone you don't know... just my opinion. -Kristen

its really swell and all that you are realted to the Hunts Kristen but you dont know as much as we do about certain subjects on here. These facts have been discussed ages ago on several now extinct boards. Crippled tells it like it is. We dont hate anyone we just like to point out things others choose not to see or care about. We like things to be put right thats all. Is it me or has this board become so complacent. I miss the good ol days right Crippled? Darkride keep your pimp hand strong...your pimp hand. Darkride keep your pimp hand strong. It's always good to hear from you old boy...and it's good to know that someone else out there knows the truth.
