Saying Farewell to the Golden Nugget | Cape May County Herald: "For the older member of the James family it was “just like those summers” on Hunt’s Pier all over again. That is, if you don’t count the temperatures that hit as low as 23 degrees and felt as low as 11.

The Golden Nugget, built in 1960 at the end of the former Hunt's Pier, has been out of commission since the 1990s, the Morey Organization held a public ceremony to mark the ride's end. It is slated to be taken down during a phased demolition.

“I remember riding the Nugget with my older brother. It was one of a kind,” said Thomas James. “It’s a shame my kids never got the chance to really experience it.”"
