Another Florida developer is reportedly in talks to bring a new roller coaster to Atlantic City.
The Philadelphia Business Journal reported Wednesday that developer Joshua Wallack of Wallack Holdings met with Mayor Don Guardian and Councilman Frank Gilliam Jr. to discuss construction of a “combined vertical roller coaster.”
Also called a “polarcoaster,” the structure also features a drop tower structure, the report said. The height of the tower has yet to be determined.
The report said the attraction would most likely be located at the site of the former Sands Atlantic City casino-hotel. The plan could include leasing about one-acre of the 18-acre site, the report said.
The attraction could open as early as spring 2017, the report said.
