Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park Chamber Names Carousel Awards
I'll go out on a limb here - the STUPIDEST thing MM can do is to NOT put the (a) carousel back in the Casino. I hope they do put it back. - Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.
Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park Chamber Names Carousel Awards
I predict that the Casino Carousel House will be turned into a food court...a replica (wink,wink) of the one at Monmouth Mall. (Hey isn't that one supposed to be an interpretation of the 'Real' Casino Carousel House right here in AP ???) I think the boardwalk idea at Monmouth mall was based off of AP. There intended to be a carousel in the center food court area. accross from what is now Old Navy? You can see the round shape on the floor, and the circular support system above it. It was designed for it... but i think time showed it would be a waste to add it. - Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park Chamber Names Carousel Awards
I'd like to see a carousel in the Corousel House again, but i don't think its possable at this point. Look at the direction the boardwalk is going in I don't think it would fit in with the stuff planned for the boardwalk. Times can change though, who knows! I doubt it though... I was sitting behind members of MM at a previous counsil meeting. A frequent towns person wondered over and began asking questions about amusments and other boardwalk attractions (like the water park he had heard of as being part of MM's plan). Their answer to his questions was no.. - Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park Chamber Names Carousel Awards
You need a reason, other then for a sit down $30 pp affair. Not that people won't come for that buttake a look at a carnival trailer midway with cotton candy, popcorn and soda. Bring me the $. That and a ride like a carousel next to it. I see your point about the Freehold Mall... But i guess Monmouth Mall didn't see as a draw or people, otherwise why would have wente through and built it. They've had quite a few years between now and when the boardwalk additions were added on. Ah, who knows! Carnival rides, cotton candy, and others are good attractions. However, it's kind of obvious that isn't the image the boardwalk is going for. Like it or hate it, that appears to be what's going on! - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park Chamber Names Carousel Awards
I have the feeling MM is not planning to cater to a boardwalk filled with children. When they first showed their plans in City Council there was nothing for children except a candy store with walls of candy. They did not mention the water park that was proposed in the app. MM in my opinion is gearing the boardwalk to the people they will need to fill the Condos that will be built on Ocean Ave. The Condos being built are for couples with no children. Exactly. I wish it were different. Do you really picture a boardwalk filled teens and screaming kids, while there are million dollar condos only feet away on the other side of Ocean ave? I highly doubt it. But again, we will have to wait and see what happens. As the post up top mentions, MM didn't mention anything about a water park really. They said they had ideas for it, but i'm guessing it's nothing major or else they would have had it ready. Maybe it wasn't mentioned beasue it's not part of the summer 08'? - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park Chamber Names Carousel Awards
These are just thoughts, i have no idea if they're true. Maybe the freehold mall has their double decker carousel becasue they can afford it? Does the Freehold Mall bring in a large profit? From the area, and the percentage of high end stores, i'm guesing yes. It may have been an attraction, something done becasue they could afford to do it. Weather it makes money or it doesn't, it brings in people. But that could only have been done becasue the mall in general brings in enough extra money. Maybe Monmouth doesn't do well enough to spend on such an attraction. One that may not give back much. - Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
