CloseAppearance is of the utmost importance for this tourist attraction on the New Jersey Pier. The complex design of the ride required it to be taken apart and galvanized in three pieces.
Hot-dip galvanizing was the best choice of coating because of its aesthetic appeal and maintenance-free performance, which will keep the ride functioning without service interruption. The harsh salt water environment of the New Jersey Pier made hot-dip galvanized steel a necessary choice, as it would provide a strong, protective, corrosion-resistant coating. The high quality and nice looking appearance of this HDG structure should bring more interest to the galvanizing process for similar attractions, and ensure the ride will be enjoyed by many future visitors.
