Hydrus (roller coaster), Star Jet
- ( Back to T:TDYK )
- ( Article history links: Hydrus (roller coaster)
- Star Jet )
- ... that after being thrown into the Atlantic by Hurricane Sandy, the roller coaster Star Jet (wreckage pictured) was replaced by Hydrus—this time, safely inland...? Source: "Nearly five years after Superstorm Sandy ravaged Casino Pier and dumped its old coaster into the ocean, the park in Seaside Heights, N.J., has big hopes for its Hydrus ride"..."Park owners decided it would be safer to rebuild above the beach."

- 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").
