Keansburg Amusement Park Celebrates its Reopening

Officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday, welcoming crowds back to the shore-side park.

Keansburg Amusement Park celebrated its reopening Saturday afternoon, inviting residents and visitors alike to take in the revitalized park as it continues its progress following Hurricane Sandy. 

With the park about 85-percent complete, according to Bill Gehlhaus, who owns the park along with his brother Hank, visitors gathered in the unfinished building that will soon house the park's new bumper cars.

Though some shutters remain closed along the park's promenade, many vendor stalls are open, offering visitors the chance to play arcade games, win prizes, and grab a bite to eat as the go from ride to ride.
