Jersey Shore Mayor Walking Back Idea of Keeping Roller Coaster as Tourist Attraction

Partially submerged in ocean

A roller coaster swept off a New Jersey amusement pier by Superstorm Sandy won't remain as a tourist attraction partially submerged in the ocean.

Seaside Heights Mayor Bill Akers tells the Asbury Park Press the town and the owners of the Casino Pier are in talks to remove what remains of the Jet Star Roller Coaster.
