Hydrus, Steel roller coaster at Casino Pier in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, US
Hydrus features a 72-foot vertical chain lift hill followed by a steep 97-degree drop, incorporating a vertical loop, cutback, and heartline roll throughout its 1050-foot track.
The installation of this coaster in 2017 marked the reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Sandy's destruction of the previous Star Jet roller coaster in 2012.
The attraction stands as the first Euro-Fighter 320 model worldwide and represents the sixth Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter roller coaster operating in the United States.
Two eight-passenger trains equipped with lap-bar restraints transport riders at speeds reaching 45 miles per hour through multiple inversions and steep drops.
The coaster's construction over the beach rather than water demonstrates engineering adaptations to prevent future storm damage in coastal amusement locations.
