Casino Pier was partially destroyed in October 2012 after part of the pier collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean due to the storm surge generated by Hurricane Sandy.[1] Park management rebuilt the pier's lower deck, and a shortened version of the pier reopened with limited rides in 2013.[2] An expansion for the pier opened in 2017, which includes Hydrus (a Euro-Fighter roller coaster) and a Ferris wheel.
