[heartlessvietboy]

The Gondola Lift at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk needs to be reinforced for Security. People (even adults) can slide and fall off the Lift. When you sit and Look Down its super unsafe. You are Sliding Left and Right. In America, they put people on super dangerous rides saying its safe.  Problems are corrected only after someone gets injured or dies.

[cutiee7899]

@heartlessvietboy It doesn't slide left to right. And why would anyone be stupid enough to actually slide off?

[heartlessvietboy]

Its called because they were afraid. Santa Cruz Winds can get pretty bad swinging the seats forward and back knocking the rider 100 ft down.

[cutiee7899]

@heartlessvietboy Yeah but there is a bar to protect you. They would probably shut it down if it got dangerous.

[heartlessvietboy]

That's the reason why I said the Gondola at Santa Cruz Boardwalk is unsafe.  There's a 1Ft Gap between the seat and the Bar. Many people can account for the time when they weren't properly locked into the seat and the ride left without them being secured properly.

[cutiee7899]

@heartlessvietboy There isn't a 1 ft gap between the bar and the seat. When you sit down, the bar is just inches away from you.

[heartlessvietboy]

If you think the the handle bars are just inches away from you, you need some serious help.

[cutiee7899]

@heartlessvietboy I rode it. the seatbelt/bar is srsly inches away from you.

[Kc143ish]

I live were u live

[proSk8boarderboy]

my first rollercoaster

[amcfan100]

That tunnel always smells like pee

[UnIc0rNsRrEaL]

Is this scary for people who have never been on a rollercoaster before?

[DevynArt]

@UnIc0rNsRrEaL no i went on it alone when i was 7 or 8 :P i just wobbled a lot. and i did it over and over again after that! :D

[cutiee7899]

@UnIc0rNsRrEaL XD that sucks for you. I would ride a little kiddy one.

[livelikewoe1]

I am sooooooooo scared i have never been on and i am going tomarrow how big is the drop???....

[Smoothylanding]

[taterboy72]

sounds like this guy just had the best orgasm of his life

[XxtoxicsunxX]

this was both myself and my grandfather's first roller coaster

[pinyman99]

[runalanrun]

[pinyman99]

[pinyman99]

[sowhosasking]

Whenever I can get out to the Boardwalk, I ride this one HELLA times.

[scott80100]

one thing about santa cruz, all the damn vampires....

[Sandguy99]

Totally awesome ride. And built with wood, saws, hammers and nails. Very high tech for it's day!

[gemini6179]

I've been to Magic Mt., Great America, Santa Cruz and Discovery Kingdom and this coaster is by far the best coaster I've ever ridden and my favorite. Unlike other coasters that are rough and bumpy, this one is as smooth as heck.

[lefty7devil]

This ride is ausome

[falloutguy213]

over 87 years old. i know because i used to go to the boardwalk everyday and only rode this

[ashleyakamiles127]

I GO HERE ALL THE TIME!! ive only rode it once, but it was my first rollercoaster!! i would drop the camera if i took it cuz i cant hold on to it very well haha

[MashPotatoDylan]

lol i almost fell off this ride when i was little

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

you got away with this?!?!?!

why do people scream when they have rode this so many times?

[smpgunit]

i live at santa cruz it is awesome thats the best ride there

[Tigerwolfie2655]

LOVE DAT RIDE XDDDD i went on it 6 times wen i went there last >.>

[80sVideoLord]

reminds me of Rye Playland's dragon coaster; mad old - a classic.

[jphung02]

i ride it i almost flew out of my seat sick ride

[Inderjot49]

omg it looks scary but im going there tommorw and i must go on this

[sofiaandsita]

Ths is an awesome coaster! First opened on May 17, 1924! It's like riding an antique!

[srewyouspammers]

This was the first coster I every went on and it is still one of my favs. Its fast, but smooth, right at the start it get your blood pumping cuz you go through the pitch black tunnel, plenty of dips and turns. All in all a classic!!!!

[Money0Dude]

giant dipper is the best ride there but i dont really trust it cuz its made out of wood and i hate it cuz the lines are huge!

[XxInSiDeOuTxKisSxX]

i don't think people like this ride for the thrills. this ride is a classic. :)

its like, if you go to the boardwalk, then your gonna ride it.

<3 (used to live there so i would know)

[JUaReZboY559]

That place rocks!!!!! ive been on that ride a lot

[ZaRoeler]

Was'n't this called the big dipper first, because I thaught this coaster wan in rollercoaster tycoon 1 and it was called that.

[TheInerHollow]

ever sence i whent thier when i was a kid its been my favoirt place to go

[jkyep13]

@xxhittmanxx i'm going there on saturday, we'll see

[headintheclouds23]

Don't listen to those people below! I'm from SC county, I've been to the Boardwalk and on the Giant Dipper more times than I can count, and I never get tired of it. It's classic. I can't wait for the summer when I can come home. <3

[James51195]

[SCgirl000]

[SCgirl000]

like seriosly and the giant dipper is fun the first couple times

[mjakes20]

apparantly since its old, its supposed to be a bit rickety and scary. i havent been on it even though i went there but that is a huge regret!!

[TheSparten99]

tat ride is fun

[unknowndeoxys00]

It's usually that first drop that scares me, but the rest is just like "wheeeeee....!" xD ^_^

[Blackninja97]

It is called the giant dipper. I love this ride!

[elevenway]

This ride is called the Giant Dipper.

[koolkillax]

why are folk screaming at the start!

[rainbowanimechica]

because you go down really fast and since it's a tunnel it's really dark and scary.

[koolkillax]

@rainbowanimechica Ok

[TheSparten99]

i been on tat dude its scary u r start crying if u wnt on it

[koolkillax]

@TheSparten99 O_o

[jkyep13]

it's called the big dipper, and don't tell me i'm wrong because i was there this summer

[drebin911]

never spit forward ha youll get your ass kicked by the guy behind you

[DarkJak2050]

Let me ask this:

How is this compared to California's Great America's Grizzly? From what I read, CGA's Grizzly was rated as the world's worse wooden roller coaster for the past few years.

[karenk321]

[popnadeem89]

[Mikey274581]

To christo m and 1F4J7A .... I've been to both the Boardwalk and C.P....you can't compare a woodie built in 1924 to modern coasters...thats only 80 plus yrs morons, and its still going, not to mention that oldie gives some good neg g's on those "kiddie" hills

[thechrushinator]

it's especially fun when you're sitting next to someone big and the bar is like 15cm away from you and you fly up in the seat from the g's

[RYsPigeons]

Wow that looks kinda scary lol. im gunna enjoy it this weekend . i hope i wont be scared lol i just finished 7th grade today wooooooooooooooooooooo!
