SANTA CRUZ – APRIL 1: People ride one of the rides at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, Calif., on Thursday, April, 1, 2021. From tickets deals to splash zones, vampire flicks and retro wonders, California theme parks are rolling out the sparkly welcome this summer, wooing vacationers and locals alike with flashy roller coasters, glitzy thrill rides and special events large and small.
The boardwalk’s popular Free Movies on the Beach will return June 14 with the cult fave vampire flick, “The Lost Boys,” kicking off a Friday night series of family films including “The Sandlot,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, “Barbie” and “Wonka” through Aug. 9. Evenings on the Colonnade, which includes food, music and entertainers, runs June 17-Aug. 8. And a new Mornings in the Plaza series offers half-priced arcade games, breakfast specials and a dance party for early morning revelers.
Among the sights: a 10-foot scale replica of the Hollywood sign, an updated version of the Earthquake attraction, the return of the Runaway Train, a growling T-Rex, a massive King Kong photo backdrop, the Jaws shark and Doc Brown tinkering with the DeLorean time machine in Courthouse Square. Expect retro-themed food and drinks at Hollywood & Dine, Mel’s Diner and the Studio Scoops ice-cream parlor too.
