thank-you
We used to go there too on nickel night.

In fact, we had our 8th grade Immaculate Conception in Secaucus NJ field trip there too. On that trip I went in the Tunnel of Love with Kathy Keller. Just when we started kissing it seemed like the ride was about to end. So I stuck my leg out and stopped the boat bracing it against something I could reach. We heard a big snap like some kind of chain broke or something. Very shortly the lights came on and everyone had to evacuate.

ah, the good times
