I remember when I was just a little girl and I kept staring at the castle, scared half to death about going in there, when I finally did. Few days later, it burned down. Now i look back and am so glad I went on before the incident. <3
I went inside only once when I was a kid, with my mother and friends. I was probably 6, maybe 7 but one of the only parts I can actually remember was a room where the walls were moving inward (allst4rm3 mentions the 'Crush Room', so I'm guessing that's it). Freaked me the hell out. This video is a haunting memento of nostalgia - and that skull is still creepy as shit.
Great footage! I used to go to wildwood with my family every summer since I was 5 in the1980's. This ride gave me nightmares every time but it was worth it. The "Crush Room" in the walkthrough scared the crap out of me!!! Looking at that skull from the boat ride brings back so many memories!
This brings back many memories of my trips to the shore for the summer with my girlfriends. I was really upset when I found out that it burned down. To this day, everytime my fiance and I walk past where this used to be, it brings back so many memories for me as a teenage girl.
simply put, miss it......

I remember stand by the castle every night watching the boats go by and listening to the music. Highlight of the boardwalk for me :)

It looks like it was a death trap, just waiting to kill people.
