Great American Thrills Filming at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Today
If you’re in need of a serious park fix in Northern California today, come on out and cheer us on at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk this afternoon.
We’ll be filming a “pitch” video for networks and production companies, hopefully to get the “GAT” concept on the air!
If you’re not able to make it out to the beach, you can still participate! Just tell us the next great ride you want us to ride by tagging your post on social media with #greatamericanthrills, just like this:
We’ll be using the posts in our post-production work – so POST AWAY!

Vintage Boardwalk Video
Want to go back in time? Journey back to see when the Giant Dipper was painted white and GREEN!
This video was created back in the early 1970’s by the local Rotary Club, and is entitled, “Santa Cruz – Never a Dull Moment.” Visitors to the city can certainly attest to that, even in modern days!
Amusement park fans will want to skip to 22:15, where the Boardwalk is prominently featured – but be sure to check out the smaller moments of the narrators walking along the casino as well as the far end of the Boardwalk as well.
