⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Iconic, Thrilling, and Nostalgic – A Must-Ride in Santa Cruz! The Giant Dipper at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is an absolute gem. From the moment you step into the historic wooden structure, you’re transported back in time. The ride begins with a dark, suspenseful...Read More

What a fun classic roller coaster!! This thing is almost 100 years old, and relatively smooth! There was no back breaking moments, just a couple rickety moments but not painful at all. The coaster had a lot of hills and turns and was very fun...Read More

Yeah you gotta get on this old ancient 100 year old wonder. A fun ride that you will feel. Any wooden coaster will be sure to knock you around and you feel everything in the cart! That’s part of the ride! I wore the lap...Read More

BEST ROLLER COASTER EVER!!! An absolute classic!!! I haven't rode on this ride in over 25 years, and it's just as much fun as I can remember it being back in the old days!!!

Honestly a fantastic ride with a lot of history behind it. There's usually a very long wait, but if you go for the discounted nights over the summer, lines are tolerable and barely even a factor. The ride is about 2 minutes long and gets...Read More

And oldy but goodie. Yes this is a wooden roller coaster so yes it is a little jerky. But it is still a must at the boardwalk. The initial drop will make your stomach fall and gets me every time! If you can get here...Read More

Wow this coaster is a must do I definitely didn’t expect it to be this extreme not sure if it’s because it’s been a while since I was on a coaster but it was super fun.

Awesome classic roller coaster. Built in 1924 with over 60 million riders since then it's still a super thrill to ride. Ask to ride in front and you can wait at the gate an extra turn, totally worth it!

It's a fun coaster, but be prepared for some head rattling and neck pain on the old wooden track. Also be prepared for extremely long lines on busy days. Come in off peak hours/days if possible so you don't have to stand around forever

$7 for a single ride or $40 for an unlimited bracelet. I love wooden roller coasters and this one was awesome! One of the oldest in USA.

It's always fun at the boardwalk. Could have some vegan options for those with dietary issues but overall a fun filled time. Wish rides stayed opened longer though.

What a great experience riding a roller coaster that’s over a hundred years old — it still looks and feels amazing. Definitely worth it! Just be ready for long lines if you go on the weekend.

Probably one of the most iconic attractions within Santa Cruz, aside from all the natural wonders and beauty of course. If you're ever driving through Santa Cruz, and see a roller coaster on banners, or painting within stores, it is likely the Giant Dipper. It...Read More

This roller coaster is very old. The turns can heart as it suddenly jerks. However it is worth it and you won’t regret the ride.
