This. That thing was horrible! I advise all sea life in the area to stay far, far away from this ride.
Like many have said, I'm sure anyone running a business next to the ocean was prepared for something like this to happen, and they have a plan for rebuilding. And I'm sure there are many enthusiasses whining over not being able to "get this credit", but it could be a chance for the pier to be rebuilt and the attractions to be updated. Sucks for the folks that own the business there, but honestly I find myself more concerned about people that lost their houses than a coaster.
