News: Double Shot arrives at Santa Cruz BB

By BryanWood

Jan. 20th, 2005 -- Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk has seen the arrival of their new Double Shot tower ride, the first major addition to the boardwalk since 1992. The $1.6 million ride should be ready to open with the beachside amusement park on March 19.

The Double Shot came under some scrutiny this past year before being green-lighted by the local government. Some residents and a local conservationist group argued the the 125-foot-tall tower would disrupt their view of the ocean and also harm birds who fly around the area.

Park officials hope their new big thrill ride will be a big draw on the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
