Big Dipper on Earth by Parklife
The Big Dipper is a Santa Cruz landmark. Built in 1924, this wooden rollercoaster will give you a ride with magnificent views of the beach and ocean. Well, that is provided you keep your eyes open.
Rides can be purchased individually or by using the all day pass.
The boardwalk is famous for it's role in "Lost Boys" as well as other movies.
