I was down with the kids from Friday to Sunday and the weather was beautiful. My son worked on Saturday and Sunday, but we still got to do many of our favorite things. Here are some pictures and observations.
Some of the Coke neon was out on Friday night, but it was working by Saturday.
The lights on the Ferris wheel looked great and I noticed many new patterns.
The boardwalk mall arcade didn't look half bad. Most of the games seemed to be operational now. We still didn't see anyone in there though.
Morey's hot dogs are $2 now.
New banner for the golf and photos.
Ghost Ship is closed again this season. I have a feeling it will never open again...
Some type of art shop at the 3000 block.
Some "It's Not a Donut" shop also in the 3000 block where the lobster roll place was. I'm not sure what exactly they are selling...but it didn't look like anything I was interested in.
Yes, I got Mack's...and yes, it was great!
Balloon Race still not together.
Dante's Dungeon got a new paint job and a few new changes inside.
They added epoxy paint with traction under the Zoom Flume at the back of Morey's Pier.
A new candy/ice cream shop is going in...but it wasn't open yet.
The new boardwalk and railings seemed decent. They even added some new concrete at places to level the transition into the shops.
The expanded dog park was packed.
The new candy & smoke shop next to Randy's Retro Arcade was open.
They are still working on the foundation of the old Shamrock house which was moved down from Pacific.
The J1 housing on Pacific is still coming together.
Some temporary life-size statues were added to the park at New Jersey and Glenwood.
And finally, I noticed many of these 5g towers going up around the island. I guess they are trying to improve cell signals during the season.
In a week, I will be taking my son down for the season. It seems like summer just ended!
Thanks for the great pics as always.
