Casino Pier Announces 2015 and 2016 expansion
Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach announced today their 2015 and 2016 expansion projects. Casino Pier originally made famous by MTV’s tv show Jersey Shore which took place in the same town as this park, Seaside Heights, NJ. It was also greatly damaged by Hurricane Sandy, when images surfaced with their steel roller coaster Star Jet was sitting in the Atlantic Ocean. It is good to see this park expanding and back on it’s feet.

Who wants to buy a park?
Lots of talk about the Six Flags and Sea… we mean United Parks results. What will the future look like and what parks could be sold. Come for the hot takes on what parks we say to sell. Stay for the bad takes by Hyde on saying a certain chain won’t buy any more parks just hours before they announce they bought another park (we recorded this the night before Herschend bought Silverwood).
