Hydrus

Casino Pier is opening this weekend, weather permitting, and will feature two fun and adorable new rides for kids.

Just in case you didn't know, Townsquare Media Jersey Shore operates 94.3 The Point, 92.7 WOBM, Beach Radio 104.1 FM, 105.7 The Hawk, and Shore Sports Network. It wasn't long ago all five brands hosted a family fun night at Casino Pier in Seaside Heights. It was great being out on the boardwalk with my fellow employees, their families, and all of our loyal listeners.

As I get older the coasters get better and better and I get a little nervous standing in line.

As our summer kicks off this weekend at the Jersey Shore, Casino Pier officially cut the ribbon on their new roller coaster, "Hydrus".

There are few more iconic photos of the post-Sandy Shore than the now-famous picture of the Jet Star roller coaster silently sitting in the surf. Well, when Casino Pier decided to bring a roller coaster back to the Seaside Heights boardwalk, they thought big!
