Have you road the Doowop trolley ride around wildwood and look at all the neon signs. it is really fun. We ride the trolley every year. If you haven't done it, you are really missing out on some thing really good!You can get tickets at the museum.

I would really love to take the tour, but they don't start till the end of June and we always go down in the middle of beginning of June. Think they would start them right after Memorial Day.

I went. It was nice, though it's done while the sun is still up. I think they should consider a nighttime tour as well. The trolley was full when I went last June.

Didn't try it yet. Maybe this year while the neon is still part of the landscape.

I took the trolley tour two summers ago. My sons got a kick out the term "poo-poo platter" that the guide used to describe some of the architecture. LOL My only regret was that I did not take pictures on the tour. If I only knew at the time how fast everything was going to be torn down.

Some one said the ride is in a school bus.I don't mean to sound negative but my school bus days are long gone and when i found out that they was using a school bus i didn't even take the ride.Others that came off the ride saying it was a hot and steamy ride.I won't ride it again if they don't bring back the trolley! The trolley ride makes the ride fun.The trolley had big windows so you can see every thing.In this stupid school bus ride you can't see nothing cause every one that has a camera stands up and blocks the neon signs and the cool sea air making it a hot steamy ride!

When I called the Doo Wop League, Bill said that they could not get the Trolley's this Year, they were all being used somewhere else! I asked him if it was a Bus, he said Yes I made a comment that I hope Pictures can be taken from the Bus Window's He said he didn't think of that! I will go anyway I have Free Tickets Can't Wait.... 10 More days![glow=red,2,300][/glow] ;D

I believe if your a registered member of the DWPL you get a ticket. The higher your membership level I think you get more free tickets. I have to renew my mebership. It expired in spring.

They're trying to figure out a way to Wildwoodize (for lack of a better term) the bus for next year. I think that should help with making it more inviting...

Maybe "they" should start with UNLOCKING the WINDOWS. THIS year. I can only imagine what that is like in this heat.
