Remembering Asbury Park |
As some may recall, beside the two famous indoor amusement parks -- the Palace and Casino -- there were some great rides and attractions along the Asbury Park boardwalk itself. A limited number of photos existing today featuring these rides. This is a great rare photo of the boardwalk -- likely a scan of a postcard featuring a photo from the 1970's. Clearly pictured is the Sky Ride that ran above the boardwalk for several blocks. The passenger within the individual Sky Ride "cars" enjoy a great view as they move travel slowly in a way similar to a ski lift. |

Brochure for the Palace and Casino. A Small section is missing, but this is a real "find" none-the-less. Thanks to my pal Bret for sharing it with me. Visit his new site http://www.TunnelOfLaffs.com to see the amazing feature on the Palace and the companion piece on the Casino. There are some great indoor pictures there. |
A collection of Ride and Prize Tickets. Scanned with love by yours truly. |
And a personal photo...or two This is old family photo of my mom, sister an me. Looks like Easter Sunday about 1976 on the Asbury Park boardwalk. Again, rides visible in the background. I was a snappy dresser. |
Other Asbury Park links and photos will be
