Welcome to the world-famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
Yes, there is really a beach
Heading down to the park
The historic Casino building at the Boardwalk
Let's check out the rides
Pirate Ship
Double Shot
First coaster of the day would be Hurricane
Time to head up the lift
This small compact coaster really packs a punch
I like how it is elevated above the main path
The 1911 Loof Carousel is one of the park's historic rides
While riding you can collect rings to throw into the clown's mouth
If you collect the brass ring, you get a free ride. Pretty cool.
Sky Glider
I thought the two cave people riding were fun
Fire Ball
Haunted Castle - ride through fun house
Let's check out more of the Boardwalk
Ferris Wheel
Rock-O-Plane
Logger's Revenge
Rock & Roll
Ghost Blasters
Sea Swings
Rip Tide
Cliff Hanger
The next coaster of the day was Sea Serpent
Yes, it is a kiddie coaster, but it's on a cliff
That makes it better, right?
Tornado
Crazy Surf
For the record - the water was FREEZING
All right. Time for the main event
This ride has been on my bucket list for awhile
There is the famous sign over the end tunnel
The ride was a lot of fun
It was smooth and full of air time pops
It's a really beautiful coaster too
I seriously could not get enough of this ride
Here's the curved load station. Isn't it neat?
I had such a great time here. I cannot wait for a return visit
