Funchase
Herschell merry-go-round
1974
|
One of the first
rides to operate on the pier was the Scambler by the Eli Bridge
Company. Bud Hunt was known by friends and colleagues to be
quite a prankster. The b/w photo below shows his talent for
disguise.

The Astronaut
was added to Hunt's Pier in 1963.

The
Satellite Jet was imported from Germany and added to
Hunt's Pier in 1958. That same year the Crazy Cups from
the Philadelphia Toboggan Company was also added.

The Lumber
Jack ( often referred to as Paul Bunyan ) made his way
around the pier over the years. For a short time he
sat under The Flyer Roller Coaster ( a location that
was later occupied by Humpty Dumpty ). He then moved
to Jungleland before ultimately finding a home on The
Log Flume where he could keep watch over the pier.
