๐ŸŽขThe Giant Dipper is a must-try โ€” an old wooden roller coaster thatโ€™s surprisingly thrilling
๐ŸŒŠWalk the boardwalk, then dip your feet in the ocean between games
๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธParking gets tricky later, mornings are your friend

Beat the crowds and the heat with two hours of arcade and ride access before the boardwalk fully opens. The historic Giant Dipper and classic games feel even sweeter with shorter lines and ocean breeze.
