The Gale Force Opening This Summer!

I love rides and I love the anticipation I feel when I am about to experience a new ride for the first time. Well, If you are like me, this year you will be able to experience something new. Ocean City, New Jersey has a new ride for thrill seekers. You can see the new roller coaster in Ocean City NJ as you come over the 9th street bridge. Just look for the blue rails. The Gale Force will send riders up 125 feet high at a 64 mph speed.
