Der Wonderland Pier wird in 2005 vierzig Jahren Bestehen feiern wollen. Hierzu hat man sich bereits vom alten Schwarzkopf City Jet Coaster getrennt und erhält nun wahrscheinlich zum Herbst eine Familienachterbahn vom italienischen Hersteller L&T.

Wonderland Pier, Ocean City to celebrate 40th (DEC 24; 12:00 PM) Wonderland Pier, Ocean City, N.J., will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2005 in a big way, a couple of millions dollars big.

According to Jay Gillian, the park should take delivery on a L & T Systems family coaster mid-summer next year. He expects delivery on a Wisdom Moby Dick in the spring and he already has taken delivery on a Sky Glider from Rides-4-U Inc.

"It was just time to upgrade," Gillian said. "We have sold our Schwarzkopf City Jet coaster to Intal (International). We just kind of traded it in for this L & T coaster. The City Jet coaster is almost down now."

Gillian said even though he expects delivery mid-summer of the L & T coaster, it will probably be fall, 2005, before it is erected -- "we don't want cranes out here during the season." He plans to move in a Sizzler and a Kite Flyer to fill the space the coaster will leave on the grounds.

"And we will have something here coaster-wise for the season even if we have to book something in," he said.

The L & T coaster will be placed beside the Canyon Falls Log Flume ride and will take on that sort of theming.
