Living here in Jersey 30 minutes from the shore, its one of the few perks to being here. The experience has made me realize just how much i love this state and the people.
This makes me cry simply because I live in NJ and I am only a 40 minute drive from the beach! What started with my mom taking me here with my younger siblings, to my friends and I going, to my boyfriend and I spending countless times there and calling it our beach. It's just so sad...
I am writing from Rochester, NY. Seaside Heights will be back better then ever. We will be making our reservations for 2013!
Just watching this makes me sad. I walked on that boardwalk as child and last summer, It will be rebuilt, but like the man said, It will never be the same.
I too am heartbroken to see this.I have so many wonderful memories of Seaside,but moved to Florida in 1987.Who would have thought that this would happen ? It will be rebuilt,but will never be the same again.
One thing I have noticed! From the roller coaster in the water to the Ferris Wheel. They don't looked damaged. They really built those rides well. If all around them is gone and they didn't fall apart. They must well engineered .
wow that is so sad! i love seaside heights. it's such a fun place. my husband used to work at korrs frozen custard stand.
thanks for your reply i was born in the u.s. im not from canada,egypt,singapore,and i enjoy it here i want the best for my country my grandfather did come from italy but i didnt
Yep it is. I always go every summer. My brother will graduate next year so we only one more year with all of us. I hope they rebuild it soon!
Ive been going there with my mom and stepdad since I was little, all three of my sisters have been taken there since they were babies and we were just there last July its horrible to see this knowing that your childhood or most of it was spent there it was amazing I always loved going and I one day had hoped to take my children there but now it will never be the same I will still take my children there when they fix it but it will never be the same the devistation is horrible absolutly horrible.
I lost my aunt and uncle and their house was destroyed . . I also lost the memories of this beach :/ the last time I came here was in summer 2012 :/ I've been coming here ever since I was a baby and now I'm 14 , it will be rebuilt but I won't have the same feeling for this beach again
Such sad news I feel so sorry for everyone effected by Sandy. . Michael Holmes, the Reporter is gorgeous
Just got home from there today, the jersey shore is back, and were stronger than this storm
I hope that they let the roller coaster stay in the water. It shows that although these were terrible times, the residents had pushed trough it.
ive been there it was the best thing ever
I grew up here, that rollercoaster was the first one I ever went on.
I'm 9 I went to lucky. Leo's today and I'm watching ths and tearing up cause I remember going there lot
NJ shore.. Rockaway Beach ... Coney Island NY.... unreal (:
Yes it is. nobody can go in seaside to get it out but hopefully everything will be back to normal soon
The log flume , the Saw Mill Slices, Funtown Pier, Casino Pier, Sure it will be rebuilt but it won't be the same. What a tragic loss.
I know this sounds very conceded, but Casino Pier was absolutely my favorite place too surf. I was there 3 times at least out of the week.
I love Seaside Heights, I saw a lot of celeberties from N.B.T there performing. That is just sad. But we all hope it'll come back soon.
1:25 *Correction it was the Himalaya, not the scrambler, or centrifuge ride.
Wow mother nature.
yes.
Man you're killing me here... In the 60s My family use to LOVE Riding on that Ferris wheel in the Back ground on your Video.. My Dad was drunk one time and almost puked on the spider... Dam!!! What's happening!!! It was there or either palisades Park Man ooo Man... Major Tears...
Ya. Sad right. my life will never be the same. :(
how about now?
yes
This is so sad lives have bin lost and houses have bin distroyed and now alot of people are homeless now because of hurricane sandy
My gpop died and he used to always bring me there I don't want to let it go.Also I did my first loopty rollercoaster I had a lot of memories there I hate sandy
Same, and I'm 25. This sucks.
I live in australia but poor Americans feeling for them
Many people lost there homes in hurricane sandy and some people lost there lives. it was terrible I live in new jersey and while sandy came I was in Florida on my vacation and when I came back sandy was over. Sandy destroyed everything in it's path my home was destroyed as well live at my grandma's. SO PLEASE MAKE A DONATION SO THE DESTRUCTION WILL BE CLEANED UP AND REPLACED. PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i never really liked the beach Seaside Heights but it is sad to see it like this
i was born in new jersey i am from new jersey but i moved away by the way the roller coaster ain't in the ocean anymore
i knew the show "jersey shore" was a horrible omen. i've been going since I was a little girl, now 35. The show ruined the image and sandy actually ruined it. I'll always have my memories though and nobody can ruin that.
same here :/
Went on that
Hey Jersey Girl. I'm Patrick in Millville
There is a God. Don't worry about that. Its sad that people lost their homes and i hope your power gets turned back on soon. The cycles of nature can be devastating sometimes, The beauty of the shore is intoxicating. But even in ancient times people new better then to build a home on the sand. For this exact reason. A house on the sand will be washed into the sea someday.. It may seem bad now. By next summer the shore will be beautiful again.
How long did they take to repair it?
they should leave the rollercoaster in the water. It will be there for years and people will see it and remember what it once was.
As of today, Friday, 01/18.... YES
I cant believe that that my favorite mighty mouse coaster has somewhat collapsed. i hope they can refurbish it and have it running at wildwood
What about Conney Island... Did it survive... I Came of age there...
any1 wanna ride it with me?
Today its the 8th year after hurricane sandy
Some will not agree with me but that which was utterly desroyed by Sandy should not be built back. I tell ya why cause the scary part about this storm is that it was barely a cat. 1. If all that property could not take a cat. 1, how much more could not take a cat. 2. We should prepare for a cat. 4 or 5 storm in the future be it next yr. or 4 yrs., its not a matter of if but when it happens again. This means some serious engineering for the vunerable NY. NJ. shore line.
All you can hear is waves....
will it be Back in 2013
it is already fixed up
they'll rebuild...that rollarcoaster looked old to begin with..
That is true, but unfortunately the scrambler/centrifuge did get destroyed. D=
it's not the star jet...it was the jet star
This is on believable
Can anybody say Disney World at The Jersey Shore? lol
Bo fuckin who...replace a pier and some old ass rides ...I was in Katrina a real hurricane !
It's the jet star not the star jet DERP!
No, the Jet Star was taken down around 2000. I rode it as a kid and into my 30's. Thank you.
Yeah, the ferris wheel survived. I always went on that when I visited seaside heights. Just still cant understand why they put such nice rides out on a wood pier when theres a big parking lot in seaside near the bayside that I never saw full. They should have had the rides there.
All this carnage is man made. do you really think man can overcome mother nature. Its just a roller coaster/ beach resort, Big deal. I believe that we with climate change and global warming should re-consider building up our coastal mega city's and be more responsible. We almost temp fate when we do this and then complain about the damage. Be responsible to your loved ones.
Its Horrible It Looks Like A War Zone :'[
You destroyed other countries, this is what you get in revenge.
Good riddance.
yes
