Casino Pier
Seaside Heights, New Jersey, USA
Services:
- Master planning
Project Description:
Casino Pier, the cherished oceanfront amusement park whose boardwalk and pier was dismantled by October 2012’s Hurricane Sandy, hired JRA to provide master planning and programming services for its rebuilding effort.
Originally opened in 1960, Casino Pier housed 38 rides, as well as a rooftop miniature golf course, concessions stands and boardwalk games. JRA worked closely with the Casino Pier owners on the proposed master plan, which called for the boardwalk and pier to retain those rides that were salvaged after the hurricane, while at the same time using this rebuilding opportunity to update its ride mix with new family attractions and to refresh food, beverage and retail outlets.
