Jumbo Jet, Steel roller coaster at Morey's Piers, Wildwood, United States.
The Jumbo Jet extended 2,862 feet in length, incorporating yellow-painted supports with green track sections and reaching speeds of 44 miles per hour.
The Morey brothers acquired this Schwarzkopf-designed roller coaster from Germany in 1975 for $400,000, requiring a 250-foot pier extension for installation.
The Jumbo Jet represented a period of technological advancement in roller coaster design, featuring an electric spiral lift instead of traditional chain mechanisms.
The ride operated from 1976 to 1987 at Morey's Piers before being sold to a German broker who traded it to Moscow's Gorky Park.
In an unusual business transaction, the Jumbo Jet was exchanged for two railroad cars filled with ketchup due to currency restrictions with the Soviet Union.
