SANTA CRUZ, CA (August 27, 2012) The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk un- veiled plans for a new $5.5 Million ride during a presentation for employees and media at the Boardwalk today. A new spinning roller coaster, named Undertow, will join the Boardwalk’s scream-worthy lineup of rides next summer. Manufactured by German coaster specialist Maurer Rides, Under- tow will be the only spinning coaster in Northern California. “A spinning coaster is a very unique
ride experience, we know our visitors are going to love it,” said Boardwalk community relations director Kris Reyes. “Every ride on Undertow is dif- ferent, you can definitely expect the unexpected.”

Unlike most roller coasters, which car- ry an entire trainload of guests, Un- dertow uses individual cars each hol- ding 4 riders, with each pair of guests facing opposite directions. The ride experience changes every time, de- pending on the weight and position of guests in the car. Scheduled to open Summer 2013,

Undertow will take over the location currently occupied by the Hurricane
roller coaster. The Hurricane’s last day of operation is September 3; the ride has been sold to Western Playland Amusement Park in New Mexico. The Boardwalk’s last major ride to
open was the Haunted Castle, which opened in 2010. For more information about Undertow, the Boardwalk’s new spinning roller coaster, visit
