Own a piece of the Wipe Out!

Morey's Piers' first attraction, the Wipe Out! giant slide, has been a Wildwood staple since it debuted back in 1969.

The ride will soon be dismantled to make way for new attractions, but commemorative pieces of the slide are now being offered to the public for $50 a section.

Proceeds will be donated to the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions archive preservation fund.

  1. It's like cutting up and selling pieces of the Statue of Liberty.

    And how ironic, that proceeds will benefit a fund to PRESERVE attractions. Sorry Al, I just don't get it.

  2. The Wipe Out should not have been removed from the Wildwood boardwalk. It is an iconic staple of the boardwalk and of Wildwood. Such ashame. Wildwood is removed all kinds of items referring to the the DooWop era.
