| November 2008 Hello Big Kahuna Club! BOARDWALK NEWS The Beach Bandstand is coming down for winter and holiday decorations are going up in "Santa’s Kingdom." The Holiday Lights Train will soon roll into the Boardwalk! If you haven’t seen the decked out train, it's a very pretty sight and a fun holiday outing for families. Boardwalk employees were recently treated to a sneak preview of the beautiful new Sea Swings ride. Whatever your age, you'll feel like a kid as you swing out high over the beach, with your legs dangling and Monterey Bay glistening in front of you. Two thumbs up! Sea Swings officially opens in Spring 09, but we're opening the ride at unscheduled times during upcoming weekends for some lucky visitors. (Did anybody catch a ride last Sunday?) |

Did you know? After 20 years, the Giant Dipper's tracer lights were recently reversed to run in a forward direction. Serious roller coaster fans consider "forward" the proper direction for coaster lights! |
