Xanadu

[hardline]

sept - nov peak once it got going

initially.... packed house until regular ski mountains open up

i think its going to be a madhouse on weekends from july till the areas opens. midweek i think its going to be pretty dead till the momies get home from work to drive the kids there.

I still don't have an interest in trying Xanadu. In terms of funness, this place honestly makes Woodbury look like Alta. There's other activities I'd much rather do during the summer months.

I may never use it, it might not be anything great, but you have to agree, for the skiing/riding enthusiast, it's pretty darn cool that you will at least have the OPTION to get on snow all year round if you are that hard up for it. Twenty years ago this was unthinkable. Makes you wonder what might be developed 20 years from now.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that I think it would be a great DEMO center. The ski magazines could throw on a big EXPO the week that their Gear reviews are released in August.

South of Forked River (Exit 74) = Shoobie

North of Forked River(Exit 74) = Benny

Forked River(Exit 74) = Switzerland

Any time I've seen rates for these places they've been ridiculous, like $30 an hour. Structured like a tubing hill, not like a day area. That might put a damper on some of this enthusiasm.

On the other hand (knowing somebody's going to say it), an hour might be all you want.

$30 an hour..so $60 for a 2 hour session seems well worth it..I can think of alot of worse ways to spend $60

Here's what I remember...

Shoobie - Someone from Philly(wears shoes on the beach)
Benny - North Jersey/NY - someone who isn't local.

Wildwood has lots of Shoobies...
Bellmar has lots of Bennies...
Seaside has both...

Alki Island - the term for the shore in the winter after the tourists leave and everyone just drinks...

They call the Philly people who hit up the shore "shoobies" because they used to arrive at the beach with everything in a shoebox. Lotion, sunscreen, food, water, etc. all in a shoe box. That's what I was told and I believe it.

I have no idea on the origin of the word "benny."

i heard that too..

But it's funnier to picture people from Philly walking on the beach with black shoes and black socks..

People from Philly don't need any additional help looking funny.

How you been? Remember me? I knew you when you lived on the Jersey side of the Hudson by the GW.
