Cirque MagnifiqueMay 2009
Hello Big Kahuna Club!

The Season Kick-Off on May 16, 2009 brings you the very best of summer all rolled into one big day!

You can catch a free beach concert with The Tubes, performances by the amazing Cirque Magnifique, and watch skydivers landing right on the beach!

Also look for Survivor star Lex van den Berghe as he hosts a TV program on the Boardwalk throughout the day.



A brand new attraction called The Vault Laser Maze is scheduled to open May 25, 2009 near the Haunted Castle!
The NEW Vault Lazer Maze
The fun attraction is a great workout as you make your way under and over a tricky maze of laser beams (while the clock is ticking) while your friends watch then try to beat your time!

Free Friday Night ConcertsConcert Schedule Change: The Knack has been forced to cancel their July 3, 2009 appearance at the Boardwalk. A replacement band will be announced soon. We'd like to send out a big "get well" to Knack lead singer Doug Fieger.

Free Friday Night Bands on the Beach concerts are made possible by the support of some very generous sponsors including Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley, KFOG 104.5\97.7, and Comcast.

The Hilton, which looks like a large hillside castle, is a great choice if you are looking for an up-scale hotel while visiting the area. It’s located just off Highway 17 in Scotts Valley. More Info
