Boardwalk Amusement Park - limited rides
Does anyone know which tides are or are not included in the limited rides tickets, please? Just wondering if it is worth going, depending on which rides we can go on.
The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk offers different ticketing options, including “limited rides” and all-day wristbands. The limited rides tickets are designed for guests who want to enjoy only a selection of the rides rather than full access to everything.
Regarding which rides are included with the limited rides tickets, it generally covers the smaller, less intense rides and some classic attractions, but excludes the major thrill rides. Typically, thrill rides like the Giant Dipper roller coaster, Undertow, and the Looff Carousel may or may not be included depending on the specific ticket package.
- Smaller rides often included: bumper cars, kiddie rides, spinning rides, and some midway attractions.
- Thrill rides often excluded or require a separate ticket: Giant Dipper, Undertow, Double Shot, and other high-intensity rides.
- Some rides may offer pay-per-ride tickets or “ride tickets” that can be purchased individually, allowing flexibility if you don’t want an all-day pass.
It is worth checking the Boardwalk’s official website or calling ahead for the most updated information, as ride availability and ticket inclusions can change seasonally or for maintenance reasons. Limited ride tickets are a good choice if you plan to focus on classic, smaller rides or are visiting with younger children and don’t need access to all thrill rides.
Additional tips:
- Consider the height and age of your group—some thrill rides have minimum requirements.
- If you plan to ride the major roller coasters or Undertow, an all-day wristband may offer better value.
- Arrive early to maximize time on included rides, especially during peak season when lines can be long.
In summary, limited ride tickets are ideal for a shorter visit or if you’re only interested in the classic, family-friendly attractions, but may not be sufficient for thrill-seekers looking to experience all rides.
