The new Ferris Wheel finally opened in the summer of 2017, 5 years later.
Revision of a poem posted in 2017

The highlights of the Jersey Shore
like a bone beach, they were no more
along with the loved Ferris Wheel
that kids looked forward to with zeal.
The sounds of music, loud and clear
along the boardwalk, all would hear,
and to the Wheel, the kids would run;
for generations- had such fun.
Most kids and grandkids knew the thrill-
that Wheel spun round- was never still.
Until one day, Two-Thousand-Twelve,
the old-time joys would then be shelved.
When "Sandy Superstorm" arrived
not much within the park survived.
The sound of kids and music stopped-
with roars of wind and sea were swapped.
The howls of wind did make their rounds,
replacing joyous, happy sounds;
made a bone beach of storm debris-
that moaned and groaned for all to see.
This famous park's old Ferris Wheel
that kids looked forward to with zeal
the highlights of the Jersey Shore-
like a bone beach- they were no more.
