I spent my summers there every year until I was 18. It was really nice during the 70’s. It’s a shame what it is now.

My family went to Wildwood for two weeks in the 60s & 70s and stayed at a different motel. It was awesome.

Castle Dracula was always my favorite. Then there was the arcades, water parks and the rides. I loved going down there as a kid in the 80s and 90s.

I grew up in Wildwood and graduated from Wildwood High School in the 1970’s. My childhood is full of very happy memories. Watching this is taking me back to those times.<br><br>And Floss is wonderful! I hope her voice continues on forever!

I was a kid in the 1960's and early 70's and every summer my family would drive from Philadelphia to Wildwood. We usually stayed at the Pink Shell Motel. We loved it and had a great time. I will never forget those words "watch the tram car please".

Spent every summer there from 1967 til about 1980. This brings back so many memories. My favorite then- the keystone cops and the Flyer and the Alibi Motel ❤❤❤

If you lived in Pittsburgh in the 70’s the Wildwood Boardwalk was the place you went every summer for family vacation . I remember one summer in 1976 not wanting to leave the motel, because I wanted to watch Sugar Ray Leonard and that star studded 76 Olympic boxing team every night. Those were great times as a kid, there.
