Tourists took to social media after the announcement was made to share their stories full of nostalgia and now heartbreak after hearing the news. Many said how they remember riding all the rides like the Monorail and the Giant Ferris Wheel as kids, and how they've gone on to make the same memories with their own children.

No doubt, the Gillian's Wonderland Pier experience will be missed by all.

People were also flocking to social media in the hopes of making at least a little bit of their investment back. Tickets for the rides on any of New Jersey's boardwalks are anything but cheap these days. You're paying a pretty penny for family fun at the shore.
