Present Day Disposition of The Park Area
After Ocean View Amusement Park was torn down, the area it once occupied was replaced by a residential condominium, a residential housing development, and a public park and beach.
The coordinates given above represent the approximate point where riders would board and exit "The Skyrocket" throughout its history, before its final demolition in 1978. Many of the other attractions seen in the Hollywood films, including the famous Ferris Wheel, the "Salt & Pepper Shaker", and the much older Rocket Plane Tower were located in the area of the now existing 3 winged high rise condominium to the immediate East of this point. The Shooting Gallery, the Penny Arcade, the "Tunnel Of Fun" boat ride, and "Laff in the Dark" were situateded in the now green areas to the North, adjacent to the boardwalk which runs along the border of the public beach.
