Wildwood NJ used to have Castle Dracula/Dracula's Castle, a dark boat ride/walking tour that opened in the late 70's. Unfortunately it burned down in 2002. I remember it also had an animatronic Count Dracula who would come out onto his balcony. I miss that Castle! It was awesome.

I am glad that you had a chance to visit Wildwood and enjoyed your time. This video was much needed today. My family went to Wildwood for the first time when my mom was pregnant with me and we went 21 consecutive summers staying at the same place. The last time we were there as a family was 2001. The motel we stayed at became individual condo units. That skull/octopus facade you were intrigued by has been there since the late 80s/early 90s. If I am remembering correctly it was a pirate themed dark ride called Den of Thieves.

Vacation in Wildwood all the time. The Tram Cars are actually from the 1939 World's Fair. They've been updated a little over the years but they have some history before coming to The Wildwoods. Also, you have to try Sam's Pizza and Mack's Pizza. One of the fun things people like to do is argue which one is better. Both are iconic pizzerias to Wildwood.

The “Sister” ride to Dante’s was the version that was formerly at Astroland, in Coney Island NY. I was lucky enough to get a walk thru that one, which had a rare “Devil Man” prop that had to be from an older dark ride. Last I heard, it is still for sale and sitting in storage. Great facades on both of them!
