- The Waterpark Wildwood NEVER Got
If you have been following the news lately you would have seen that a new waterpark is coming to Atlantic City.
The $100 million indoor water park will sit on the Atlantic City Boardwalk and will be called Island Waterpark.
It will feature water slides, pools, a lazy river, food and beverage outlets, retails space, lounge areas, and more.
The water park will be a mix of an outdoor water park and an indoor one. This would allow for folks to enjoy it year around.
But did you know that North Wildwood was supposed to have one of it’s own?

How much do you wish this was here instead of what's there now?
What a shame that it fell through, love wildwood
Thanks, Joey! I had no idea about the original plans. The future development in Atlantic City looks awesome!
no problem! I wish they built it here!
Used to drive down on Saturday nights to hear a great singer Lou DeMeis at the end of Sea Port pier. Have several of Lou's cassettes & CD'S. He now only performs in Las Vegas. Think building a high rise hotel on beach would ruin the view. Bad enough that you can no longer hear the ocean from the boardwalk due to long beach. Back in the 60's use to eat breakfast at a resturant in North Wildwood that was on the beach that was assesabile by a walkway from the boardwalk. Best thing back then beach was narrow and water came up to edge of the resturant.
Thanks Joey -always interesting to hear the inside scoop!
Glad you enjoyed it
Pretty cool information! I like the way it is…not as commercial or “done up” per say
Thank you Joey
I would still love to have that Rollercoaster we were supposed to get after the golden nugget left us but this would of been nice too
I'm not mad about it not happening. It would have caused a ripple effect throughout the island and priced out many people from vacationing in Wildwood, including myself.
I had no idea. Great info Joey.
I had no idea! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
News to me. Thank you for the info.
no problem!! :-)
Thank you Joey for putting out alot of winter content, you could sled down the ramps with fresh snow lol th
I was still writing and hit the wrong button, sorry, keep up the great work Joey
haha no worries! I am trying to keep things interesting this off-season! I'm glad you are enjoying them!
Always a great video
Good information
Thanks
This would of totally changed the North end of the Wildwood boardwalk and given family’s a a chance to visit Wildwood in the winter. Seaport pier is a major let down.
Thanks Joey! Indoor water slide with a tall building...I am not sure...Wildwood is primarily a beautiful beach. But the project looked very cool!
Interesting vedio. I didn't know this thank you for this information. Never knew it . Well like laways you keep us posted on things from the wildwoods. take care
Thanks for watching! I'm glad I got to reach you something new!
Wow, very interesting! I’m glad we didn’t get that. I feel like it would have ruined the feel of the Wildwoods. I really like Seaport Pier and feel it’s a great addition. I can’t say the same for the pool since you can’t see or use it unless you’re a member. The fees are also way too high to become a member. But, regardless I think it’s cool a to have a pool on the beach like that.
Isn’t there a hotel currently with an indoor water park in Wildwood?
montego bay... has an indoor pool. maybe a slide. its very cool but not to this level
Thank God it fell through. It would have been a disaster. Plus, after the last 2 years, it would have closed and a huge eye sore would have been left.
I think the seaport pier is a better fit for WW, an indoor water park at that scale would not feel right on the beach. I love them warm summer nights with the music playing. But i don't understand the pool. Do a lot of people go to it?
The price has people going away from it.
It's 1000+ Per Year for the first person in your family, then $200 per extra. so 5 people for the summer is about $1600-$1800 (depends if some of those folks were children)
plus it's $100-$200 per day for a cabana
2006-2008 was a crazy time in development. Everyone was getting loans, which of course lead to the crash I remember my local barber in Camden County was working on a multi-unit townhome deal... and I thought... if my all-cash business barber has a development deal like this going, its going to catch up with us all eventually.
I never knew this was a thought. What a big mistake they made
I always knew as the Wildwood beaches get bigger and bigger every year, somebody would try to put a hotel right on the beach. And if my memory serves me right, I believe that back in '04 or '05, or maybe even earlier, they were seriously talking about moving the boardwalk closer to the water. If that ever happens, I think they'll eventually start building huge entertainment complexes closer to the beach.
Any improvement is a improvement
That is very true
Have anything been done with the dunk tank booth on the boardwalk? I believe it has been closed for several years now and wonder if there are plans to reopen it?
I looked for it this past summer but I didn't see it.. The guy in the tank that would insult people would of gotten canceled anyway, everyone is to uptite nowadays lol
There would probably be lawsuits, protests, petitions ect of just the thought of it opening again. Different world now. Fun times when it was open
There is no plans on bringing him back.
hahahahaha I think you are right!
Joey, what Pier do you live closest to and what is your favorite pier?
Didn't the Walt Disney Company also want to build a new Disney themed park there at one time?
hhaha, not in Wildwood, We talked about it here th-cam.com/video/W2WOSDZYm5g/w-d-xo.html
Seaport pier is always considered ghetto pier whenever I visit. Try to stay away from it lol. Complete fail from the city of wild wood and the approval from NJ on this one.
Isn't a water park supposed to be built on hunts pier
Hi we have been going down to Wildwood Wildwood Crest for twenty years and we'd like to know what happened with Captain Schumann did he retire and sell his boat we used to take our kids on it every time we went and would you be able to suggest a few really good seafood restaurants we seem to go to the same ones when we're down there and I'll be honest they're not that good anymore it's nice to get updates
I believe Captain Schumann's business sunk due to COVID and age/retirement.
He retired
Captain Schumann retired and the boat was sold to a company in Chicago.
I think Wildwood needs a new pier not owned by Morey's......just seems like they own Wildwood and I think Wildwood needs a new action pier!
So, basically it was during that time when they really wanted to build high rises on the island
Edit: I didn't know about this project and I work for Andy Wiener in the summer
Ask him about it! Im sure he wish this could have happened. He worked really had at it. (I know I wish it happened)
yes. I think that it would have been better than Seaport Pier
right!! the theming was off the chart here!

IMO Seaport Pier is a total rip off. Think about it. It's an outdoor pool and for the so called year for a single membership is $599? but wait, there is only about 4 months of good swimming weather. so that is NOT a true year rate. So the Seaport Pier is lying to you for the year rate membership rate.
Honesty, Hurricane Sandy would have probably destroyed it anyway and it would be in the ocean.
Hurricane Sandy really didn't do any damage down here. Sure a bit of wind damage but our dunes did their jobs
