Super Storm is a pendulum ride on Casino Pier in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Riders sit in a ring of seats at the end of a pendulum arm, which swings them up to 60 feet high and through full 360-degree revolutions.
The ride was built by Technical Park and was called Street Fighter before Casino Pier renamed it Super Storm. It opened in summer 2013, as the pier reopened after Hurricane Sandy, and the park presented it as a symbol of the Jersey Shore's resilience. Riders must be between 55 and 77 inches tall.
