I think that the art aspect is wonderful, but why limit a city that's always been so diverse with just one thing? Let's not pigeonhole Asbury - rather, let's embrace its diversity, and utilize that. As for the question earlier about where the Revision would relocate to, there are a few ideas, b

Put a Ferris wheel in the empty space between 1st and 2nd Ave. It would have a great view, especially during Stone Pony Summer Stage shows, and it would look great in photos of the same. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "colonialjohn" wrote: > > I have to admit ... the last (10) or so respon

I have to admit ... the last (10) or so responses were great. A Carousel in the Casino Area but will the Revision Theater find a permanenet home? They are going strong there now ... I have been to EVERY show as alot of locals. Its been great. A Ferris Wheel would be a winner but at what location

I get the Carousel question all the time, particularly from friends who spent time here as a child. I love that Revision has made good use of an abandoned space, but it sure would be nice to see a view of a beautiful Carousel reflecting off of the lake on a beautiful summer evening. --- In Asb

I'll stick with my opinion that one simple and large (iconic) Ferris wheel would serve both adults and children. Put a large Ferris wheel on that empty lot, and my gut feeling is you'd have a winner. How great would it be to have a view of AP from up above? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, C

you don't need a million "rides" - but something to kill an hour or two for those that ARE in the near area . Nothing wrong with a couple LITTLE real kiddie rides. The splash park works, the mini-golf works then nothing wrong with a couple boats that go around in a circle with a bell or a coup

In business one of the key determinants of success is focusing on something specific and doing it extremely well. having a few rides will just be an eyesore and a half baked attempt at luring some families in. in my humble opinion i think they need to keep going with the art and music scene as

I dont think we will see rides. Maybe something small. The key to it all is the Casino. MM wont budge. They seem to be the problem now. My calls for a carousel in the carousel house are ignored. iStar needs the Casino area to be done. While it is a partner with MM, MM has control. I think that w

This is the best reply I've read in some time. I came to NJ at a time, when AP"s boardwalk catered more to family than what its' evolved to. All of the vintage post cards and initial creation of Asbury was why I raged some, because I saw what my kids came up with being destroyed. I do have an old
