One More Ride
The amusement park on the historic Steel Pier will make a final curtain call, opening its rides and arcades for at least one more season as plans for Trump Entertainment’s pier redevelopment project continue.
The Catanoso family, who has operated the small amusement operation on the pier for the past 15 years, closed the gates in October, but has now signed a lease to re-open for the upcoming 2007 season.
“We will not need to make any structural changes to it through the following season,” said Tom Hickey of Trump Entertainment Resorts.
Steel Pier amusement park will re-open March 30 and hold its annual Easter egg hunt that Sunday. The 2007 summer season plans to be the last for Steel Pier’s amusement park. Trump’s future plans for the pier include a complex with hotels, condos and restaurants to fit the city’s evolving image.
