Hurricane Sandy Damage Report. Updates Coming.

As most of you know Hurricane (now Tropical Rainstorm) Sandy made landfall around Cape May NJ around 5:50 PM EDT yesterday. The storm brought MAJOR coastal flooding to the areas around it. To the point, several theme parks on the shore and inland have been affected by this storm. The park that got hit rather hard seemed to fair well enough and that is Morey's Piers in Wildwood NJ. The park was spared major damage out side of the ocean re-filling the water park pools with sand and other derbies let alone water.

I dont have any information on Steel Pier at this time but Atlantic City did receive extensive damage to its boardwalk and sea-side areas from the storm surge.

In the areas around Sandy Hook NJ and Seaside Heights Casino Pier has suffered major damage including a partial collapse. This has left the park on that pier heavily damaged. Many rides have been damaged and/or submerged by sea-water. Some rides are now IN the ocean due to the collapse. See the photo here to get a scene of the damage at Casino Pier.

Damage to Casino Pier in Seaside Heights NJ.

That ride in the ocean there is the Star Jet roller coaster. It is likely not salvageable. - Star Jet RCDB Page

All inland parks I have looked into, Dorney Park in Allentown PA, Hershey Park in Hershey PA, Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson NJ, and Knoebels in Elysburg PA are reporting minor damage. Mainly trees down and other minor damage.

I will update this as time goes on. I have no information on Coney Island but I know that New York has suffered major damage in some areas, specifically the Finical District.
