It would have been better if some investors came along in 1992 after the pier closed like this www.angelfire.com/nj/wwbysea/HUNT/NH2.html and would have restored it then. The Nugget, Keystone Kops, Whacky Shack, Ghost Town Shoot-Out and Log Flume were still standing. Those rides could have been restored and perhaps new rides added, heck even the train ride and Flyer could have been rebuilt. It would have been easier to restore Hunt's to somewhat the way it was then, even if it wouldn't have been feasible to rebuild the Jungleland and Pirate Ship, or even the Flyer. The Catanoso's ruined it further by removing the Shack and Kops, and turning it into that dino crap, even the Nugget. The Morey's are even worse than the Catanoso's because they just let the Nugget sit and rot and lease the pier to go-kart operators and use the pier for maintanence. |

If I had the money robert I would buy hunts, sportland, casino, and nickels. Then I would put 2 dark rides on every pier and rebuild a castle and dedicate it to you! Then I would put a major coaster on every pier and plenty of flat rides! Then i would have a 3 pier pass cause i would combine nickels and casino. Then I would completly wipe out splashzone...... ;D

Maybe the Morey's feel that developing a 4th pier will not be cost effective. On the other hand being able to ride on 4 full piers of rides would be awesome. It seems the three piers are always crowded. Maybe insurance coverage is just too high for another Morey's Pier on the old Hunt's Pier. But we can dream!

Hunt's Pier? Plenty of space there besides those metal maintenance sheds. Since coasters are the money maker (major parks just keep adding them since they all make $), build a giant woodie twisting all over the pier. Use the nugget mine ride for a scenic beginning to the lift hill.....run the coaster over to Morey's 25th for a cameo appearance somewhere along the run. Keep those manic go-karts running underneath. (Hey, Lagoon Park in Utah has GOATS grazing under their coaster). With whats out there in coasters today, this is a cakewalk. What, it takes money? There's plenty of money flooding into Wildwood. Or haven't we noticed. The boardwalk is the main focal point now for "the original Wildwood". And don't think the condo nightmare can't happen there.

The moreys dont have any balls left to take any chances on hunts! Im sorry I feel this way. The boards were packed this summer. somthing is not being done right here. I still feel the moreys need a competitor! The nickels and ted snyder should just sell there properties to the moreys cause they are never going to be a threat.

Hunt's pier is simply a waste of space right now. A shame because it had the best rides at one point.

Ko Carts are just a way to fill empty space. Bring back rides to Hunt's
