    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Swingin' NJ

Wow, there are some serious memories in this thread!! I have been to most of the places mentioned in this thread. We had high school ski club trips to Vernon Valley/Great Gorge (my grandmother lived in Vernon too). In the summers I visited friends in Lake George (which inspired my living in Vermont for 12 years) and remember Frontier Land shortly after it closed down and already feeling creepy. I even went to ski camp at Jiminy Peak at some point in my early life which I almost forgot completely about. Before the summers in NY we used to hang out at Class Action Park and do all the fun stuff unsupervised teenagers shouldn't be doing. That place was ridiculously fun. It seemed like it was basically ran by teenagers. The first thing you would see when you got there was an enclosed water slide. With a loop in it. Seriously.

I haven't lived in NJ in a long time. I grew up in the most densely parted part of the state and never really liked it, but I often forget how much the state really has to offer. My uncle and future brother-in-law both ride bikes and live in NJ - maybe one day I will get a chance to get back there and check it out on 2 wheels.
 
Joe, there is some nice riding in NJ, particularly in the northwest (Skylands) region. Back when I had lots of free time, I found myself up there fairly regularly exploring.....

I remember helping with the landscaping for that thing, the infamous Cannonball Loop. No one died on it that I know of, but they did have trouble with people getting stuck at the top of the loop, and I think installed a trap door to assist with removal efforts. Yes they did pay employees to test it, and it stayed open for a matter of weeks. No way was I going on that thing!

I remember seeing the trap door. Not sure if the slide was open any of the times I was there, don't think so.
