Hydrus (roller coaster), Star Jet

 * ... that after being thrown into the Atlantic by Hurricane Sandy, the roller coaster Star Jet (wreckage pictured) was replaced—safely inland—by Hydrus? Source: "Nearly five years after Superstorm Sandy ravaged Casino Pier and dumped its old coaster into the ocean"..."Park owners decided it would be safer to rebuild above the beach." NPR
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Apollo Gauntlet, Hot Streets (TV series) (2 article hook)
 * 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., ) are consistent in naming the coaster "Star Jet").
