Jet Star coaster

The leftovers of the Jet Star rollercoaster became a symbol of Sandy's distruction. Just a week before the unofficial start of summer at the Jersey Shore, the monstosity comes down.

Want to watch the Jet Star Coaster as it is dismantled today in Seaside Heights? Forget fighting the traffic and crowds...you can watch it from the comfort of your computer!

Summer is almost here and this is usually the time of year when everybody at the Jersey Shore is smiling. But this year is not the same . We are New Jersey, so we are strong, and we are optimistic, but this summer is just going to be different.

How could something meant to bring great memories have become the visual symbol of a storm that brought so many painful memories?
