More of the Child's Restaurant building.

 

More mind boggling stuff. The detail, wow.  

 


The Shore Hotel, next to Nathan's.  

 

 

Another shot of the now demolished Thunderbolt, with the Shore Hotel just down from it.  About 100 years ago, the whole area was one big amusement park, including what is now Luna Park, the apartment building complex you see behind the Thunderbolt.

Some sort of Christian singing group performing in the background, perhaps singing praise to the almighty Wonder Wheel?  

Like I mentioned earlier, I always wondered when this was going to be launched.  No, really, I'm not kidding.

That's a big burger!

 

The other burger dude, standing watch, ready to fling a giant burger at anyone who messes with The Cyclone.

I am fairly certain this corner arcade was where I hung out regularly.  I know I spent more time here than at Playland.  It was in here I think that I played Atlantis, Ship Ahoy, and Neptune, and possibly Poseidon, or maybe that was another arcade, but I know I played both.  I also remember Sega's Killer Shark gun game being on the corner with Atlantis. To this day, I am still looking for this game.  Also, Sea Devil, it's twin.  This would complete my must haves.

The Zipper, and next door is a go kart track.  This will also be gone as of 2007 for condominiums, etc.
