Hydrus (roller coaster), Star Jet

Star Jet wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean after Hurricane Sandy
- ... 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., [1][2]) are consistent in naming the coaster "Star Jet").

These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the image is interesting and appropriately licensed, the articles are neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:29, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
