The Jumbo Jet was a prefabricated steel roller coaster at Morey's Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey.
[2] Despite the expense, however, Jumbo Jet became one of the most popular roller coasters on the Jersey Shore, and was credited for increasing attendance at Morey's Piers.
[4] Although multiple sources support the purchase of the Morey's Piers Jumbo Jet as occurring in Germany,[2][3] some sources persist in the rumor that this coaster may have been the relocation of the ill-fated Jumbo Jet from Great Adventure (now Six Flags Great Adventure).
The broker eventually traded the coaster to Gorky Park in Moscow for two railroad cars of ketchup—as the ruble was not a widely accepted currency outside of the Soviet Union at the time.
[9] Riders on the Morey's Piers Jumbo Jet cited its high-speed, banking turns as a noteworthy element.
