Hi Woodsy.
I took advantage of a beautiful weekend and visited nearby shore points.
I like to do this every year about this time because the crowds are diminished and nights are a bit cooler.
The 2 islands I visited have boardwalk attractions with rides,shops, and plenty of food and drink. I usually grab a slice of pizza first and later have an ice cream cone!
My goal was to get some fresh air and exersize and to take pics of rides that had a spooky theme. Friday night was spent in Ocean City, a place I should visit more often as it's only 10 minutes from my house!
There was a ghost train simply titled "Dark Ride", a Pirates "Den and a wicked looking ride called "Alien Abduction".
Saturday night was a longer drive, about 45 minutes, to Wildwood. There,I witnessed the awesome "Ignis Fatuus", a rusting hulk of a ship infested with zombies.
This ride is said to be inspired by the movie "The Philadelphia Experiment".Next was a simpler theme.A clown' s smiling face welcomes you to the Funhouse, a realm of moving floors and distorted mirrors. Lastly,A ghost train nearly as old as me, the gothic "Dante's Den".
Hopefully,weather and time permitting,I can visit these places again before Summer's end.

I do like the themes of these fun rides and attractions. I love ghost train rides and dragged all of my screaming kids on various ones when they were little. Looking forward to doing the same with my Grandson in a year or two. I've never seen anything like Ignis Fatuus before though. Did you venture inside, Brian?
ReplyDeleteI have to admit,I have not yet walked through that one.I kind of feel foolish being twice the age of the actors playing the zombies,and I usually tower over them heightwise,so these days I stick to the ride throughs,or Ghost Trains as you call them.
