A trespassers inside look at the wreckage from Hurricane Sandy on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk Amusement Parks.
Made it over the bridge past 3 police checkpoints, was having trouble getting into town still, every road I tried to go down was blocked off. Drove around and managed to find a way in and get close to the beach. Parked up and walked to the piers.
Whole place was crawling with cops, cops on every single corner parked, cops patrolling in cars, on foot, and ATVs. No matter which direction you looked there was pretty much a cop in sight. Got yelled at and redirected a few times trying to get near the boardwalk, got kicked off the north side of the beach when I snuck on for the famous rollercoaster in the ocean shot.
After walking around more I managed to slip in onto the beach further down at a construction site. Think invisible and act like you're supposed to be there. Somehow made it all the way down to the pier wreckage on the beach unseen and got back to the road without getting arrested.

Happy doomsday.

Man this really is sad since I have a tons of memories of that boardwalk and shore. I remember those apes and jungle stuff at 17:00 were from a ride where you should be in a jeep on a track going around in a jungle. Also I wonder what happened to all the hobos that lived under the boardwalk.

Same, I used to go here every summer when I was really young, I went on all those rides. You can see the Haunted Manor ride in the distance in the video, I wanted to get over there and go inside so bad but I was already pushing my luck, wasn't worth getting arrested for but damn. That and the funhouse, glass maze, wanted to see all that. Damn police.
This reminds me a lot of the New Orleans six flags that got hit by Katrina. Except that wasn't as destructive.
Weird, I was just in point pleasant for the first time since the hurricane today.
How come you were able to walk around without getting stopped by the police?

we used to go on this gravitron all the time and uncap sodas in it
Being a resident of New Jersey I just wanted to say I appreciate all your videos, thanks for doing this!

Yes! That one right there was the first I had ever gone on as a kid. I would always sit upside down once it starts going, never tried to drink a soda on it though good (bad) idea!

I did get stopped by police lol. They let you walk on the street but all the entrances to the beach/boardwalk are taped off. I kept walking around until I found a block they weren't on and I walked onto a construction site, got lucky and got to the wreckage on the beach without getting caught.

Hollowgraves Manor
Really wish I could've explored inside these all wrecked, that was most of my goal that day. Anybody else live in that area? By the time I get a chance to go down there again all that stuff is probably going to be removed or running again. Would love to see pics/video of those if anybody's got the balls to try.
Lost_n_found... first, very nice photos of the pier destruction. Secondly, while we can totally appreciate the desire to explore abandoned or destroyed buildings, we would like to thank you for not following through with your initial thought of attempting to enter the Haunted Manor. The Haunted Manor did NOT suffer any destruction, unlike the rest of the pier and should anybody have been caught attempting to enter, we without a doubt would have pressed charges to the full extent. You are correct that the Haunted Manor has been removed from the pier and will not be returning. We are a separate business from the pier itself. It will however be reopening in Keansburg, NJ in 2013. Also, there is no fun house or glass maze in Seaside. You might be thinking of Point Pleasant who do have a fun house on their boardwalk.
