Remember The Old Alien Spaceship Ride In Wildwood, NJ?

If you grew up coming to Wildwood and riding all the rides on the boardwalk, then you know it's a common theme to watch rides come and go. The question is where do they get wind up after being removed from the boardwalk? Our friends at the Wildwood Video Archive took it upon themselves to track down the whereabouts of one ride a few years ago that was pretty popular among the collection on Morey's Piers.
