Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

 


Welcome to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

The Boardwalk has a historic section that debuted in 1907

This area features shops, concessions, arcade and a huge indoor mini-golf.  Also this is the home to Laffing Sal - she's just creepy

Now to check out the rides.  This is Typhoon

Pirate Ship

Double Shot

This is a spinning coaster called Undertow

Next Door is a giant disk-o called Shockwave

Looff Carousel

You can still catch the brass ring and throw it at the clown target on this classic carousel

Next up is the Haunted Castle

This is a classic dark ride that is actually kind of creepy in some sections

The star of the Boardwalk is the Giant Dipper

Celebrating over 100 years in service.  This classic still delivers the thrills

Fire Ball

Dream Wheel

Surge

Riptide

Rock-O-Plane

Tsunami

Sea Swings

Logger's Revenge

Tornado

Cyclone

Crazy Surfer

Sea Serpent

Ghost Blasters

Wipeout ... 

Wipeout is an indoor Huss Breakdance in the dark with a light show

Cave Train Adventure

This indoor train ride takes you back in time to see the park's mascot cave people

Sky Glider takes you from one end of the Boardwalk to the other

Be on the lookout for the two cave people also riding

Yes there really is a Beach.  The water is freezing though.
Had a great time at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk today
