Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! Here’s a newly-discovered little present for you!
Turns out Million Dollar Pier in Atlantic City, NJ, had a Bill Tracy Pirates Cove as of the early 1970s, the photo featured being circa 1978 (Cove on the right side). At this point, logic says Tracy came back to convert his former Orient Express ride, which he installed in 1962, to the Cove in the early 1970s during the same timeframe when he was completing other Cove attractions at places like Trimper’s Rides and Waldameer Park. This is all new information for us, as no previous Tracy catalogs or documentation has mentioned this attraction. Still lots of mystery surrounding this find, so stay tuned for updates. Special thanks to George LaCross over at laffinthedark.com for the heads up and some background. Photo courtesy of the John Margolies collection, Library of Congress. Have a great holiday!

I grew up in Atlantic City on the million dollar pier. The pirates cove and orient express were caty cornered on the same side of the pier. I remember running from one to the other. And also remember going in pirates cove, pretending we lost our wallets, and going from the exit back to the entrance “looking” for it. Also scaring a few people along the way!!!
