- Comment: There is some inconsistency in sources for whether the coaster destroyed was named "Star Jet" or "Jet Star". Jet Star was the name of a coaster that operated at Casino Pier from 1970 to 2002, which seems to be the source of confusion. The park's original (pre-Sandy) website and reliable industry sources (e.g., [1][2]) are consistent in naming the coaster "Star Jet").
