Could the roller coaster that was swept into the Atlantic Ocean as Hurricane Sandy hit the Jersey Shore remain where it is, standing straight up?
So says Seaside Heights Mayor Bill Akers, who told WNBC-TV in New York that the ride could become "a great tourist attraction" if it stays where it is.
The picture of the ride, which looks more like a water slide these days, has become an iconic image of the damage Sandy wreaked up and down the coast just over three weeks ago.
But Akers, in an interview with NBC 4 New York, said he is working with the Coast Guard to see if it is stable enough to leave it alone.
If it is, Akers said it would make "a great tourist attraction."
Meanwhile, demolition crews have already finished removing all of the damaged boardwalk. Businessmen like Mike Mergott of Mad Mike's Amusements said he is rebuilding because he is "100 percent sure" families want to come back.
Jim Loundy, who owned several buildings wiped away by the surge is confident he won't see another storm like this for "another 50 or 60 years."
Akers said construction on a new boardwalk should begin in January, and be ready by Memorial Day.
Piss off. Get your shot off of here and don't come back!
Like you, Im absolutely fed up with what I am hearing. A "Roller Coaster in the Ocean" -Absurd I am a property owner in SSH see another posting I have here http://www.topix.com/forum/city/seaside-heights-nj/TFA77AUIT9B8FMVLJ Anyway, with all eyes on SSH now, I feel it is time to get this administration to listen to our cries. Come summer, the streets are uncontrolled. I have complained for years straight. The POA is useless and the current police don't care. We need to petition and petition loud MEDIA,,,,MEDIA,,,,and MORE MEDIA WHO HERE IS FED UP WITH: *drunks running through the streets until 6 am *Low lifes that walk the streets *dingy hotels and the clients they attract *crime and drugs *vision of the current administrationex (ex.roller coaster to remain) *loud bars and the cute little slap on the wrist they get from the police when complained upon Look at the current administration The seats have been held by their families for years. WE NEED TO SPEAK UP GET THE BARS TO SHUT DOWN AT 12 ENFORCE SOME BASIC HEALTH ORDINANCES AND CLEAN UP THE HOTELS BRING FAMILIES BACK AND ATTRACT YEAR ROUND RESTAURANT OWNERS AND UPSCALE EATERIES SUCH AS ASBURY PARK The town wants the complainers to drift away. they ignore all complaints because many own businesses throughout town. The later the bars are open, the more alcohol they sell. But guess what, we pay the price. Elimminate public urinating, getting sick the
