🎢"feels very California" — beach on one side, rides on the other
🌊Beach access included — perfect for toddlers who'd rather dig in sand
🦭Sea lions hang out at the nearby pier
The Giant Dipper has been thrilling riders since 1907, and this classic wooden coaster still delivers that perfect scream-and-laugh combo. With the beach on one side and carnival lights on the other, it's the kind of nostalgic, sun-soaked fun that only California does this well.
