Atlantic City, New Jersey
Steel Pier is located across from the Taj Mahal on the Boardwalk at Virginia Ave. in Atlantic City, NJ. Originally opened in 1898, Steel Pier quickly became known for showcasing the world's top entertainers. For one admission price, patrons could enjoy every concert, film and attraction without ever spending another cent. As Atlantic City slipped into its long, slow decline, the glory of Steel Pier eventually faded away, and the pier closed in 1976.
In 1993, the Catanoso brothers, along with their partners Taft Johnson and Edward Olwell brought their love of the amusement business along with a track record of successful go-cart raceways to their biggest project to date. Just 22 days after signing a five year lease, the group started restoring Steel Pier to its former glory by reopening the landmark with 14 rides and the world's most famous animal act - the Diving Horse. Today, Steel Pier has 24 rides, games and prize wheels, a food court and free admission.
