- At the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk there is nothing more iconic than the Giant Dipper, the wooden roller coaster -- oldest in the state -- which just turned 100. (5-17-24)

I had one of the ride day passes and rode the Giant Dipper nearly a dozen times that day. My favorite.
I’m glad they recognize it as the historic landmark, when they finally decide to retire it they can’t tear it down. Michael! Michael! Michael!
I'd argue that it would make little sense to retire the ride if it cannot be torn down.
An EXCELLENT coaster!!!
One of the first "real" roller coasters my dad took me on in the 90s. Went a few years back and it's just as good.
I’m a big huge fan of roller coasters! Except for the one that goes upside down. Happy 100th birthday. Santa Cruz’s 1924 giant dipper.
Of course, Friday the 17th was the actual anniversary, and only 1 person could be first in line yesterday, and that person was me!
Think Santa Cruz, think, "The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Think Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and you think of our iconic "Big Dipper" roller coaster!!! 🤗
When the Dipper's rails were changed in c. 1990 it made the ride far to smooth and the ride just was never the same. It's too smooth today. I stopped riding it in c 1994. Even my 5 yr old son was getting bored......It was like being in a Mercedes.... The wild mouse was fun but I assume it was removed as too violent?
I use to love the Wild mouse ride when it was still around. Rode it many times in the mid 60's. Was sad when it was replaced with the water flume ride. Before it was demolished in 1972, Playland at the beach in San Francisco had a good old wild mouse ride, but it was called the Alpine racer. So sad that ocean side amusement park didn't survive. Now it's nothing but condos!!! 😡
Jesus is the only way into Heaven. Ask Him into your life. Cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness. Make Him your Lord & your Savior. One day, YOU will go to Heaven. Amen.
This aint about religion. It s about the Giant Dipper s 100th anniversary ok you JABRONI?
