Clementon Park and Splash World in New Jersey has thrill rides, a water park, a 23-acre lake and is for sale.
It sits on 52 acres, has a 4,000-square-foot historic six-bedroom house on the property, picnic tables and concession equipment.
Rides include Thunder Drop, Ring of Fire, Sea Dragon, Flying Pharaoh and the Hell Cat wood deck roller coaster with a 105-foot vertical drop and Philadelphia Toboggan Cars. Other rides are a carousel, giant Wheel Ferris Wheel, Tilt-A-Whirl, Scrambler and a train system. For the kids are a mini pirate ship, flying elephants, cars and trucks, a race car ride and safari train.
In the water park there are Torpedo Rush vertical drop tubes, a Viper bobsled-style slide, a raft ride, slides and a splash area.
The park will be sold at auction on March 23 by Capital Recovery Group, a global private equity firm based in Connecticut.
“We are actively seeking a buyer for this iconic park located outside of Philadelphia and expect significant interest in the auction,” said Capital Recovery Group President Bill Firestone. “The property includes a 25-acre lake, dam, amusement rides, a water park and a full liquor license.”
The firm said Clementon was, “Founded as one of the nation’s ‘trolley parks’” and “was built at the end of a trolley line to encourage ridership during the weekends and to provide amusements for residents of nearby Philadelphia.
Founded by Theodore Gibbs and his two sons, it was family-run until 2011 when it was purchased by investment group Premier Parks, who then renamed it Clementon Park and Splash World in recognition of the addition of the water park.”
The park has been closed since September 2019.
