Film Appearances[edit]

The Boardwalk has been featured in a number of feature films, including Sudden Impact, The Lost Boys, and Harold and Maude. It seems worthwhile to mention this. 75.5.198.131 11:54, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They used to be listed, but someone removed them for some dumb reason. This change is where the person completely removed the section:
(cur | prev) 03:14, 20 August 2009 Piano non troppo (talk | contribs) (8,889 bytes) (Rmv overlinking on dates and common words WP:CONTEXT. Rmv WP:PEACOCK language. Rmv that it's "little changed" original research, contradicted by article itself. Rmv trivial culture refs.) (undo)
Before:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Santa_Cruz_Beach_Boardwalk&oldid=308996462
Notice the 5 Appearances in popular culture section.
After:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Santa_Cruz_Beach_Boardwalk&oldid=308997571

Also if you look back a couple years before that, there was even more film information, and the section was called Trivia at that time. If someone has time, they could add the Appearances in popular culture section back in (from 2009), then go back through the history before that (including the Trivia section) and add back any other film information that was removed.Jbw9999 (talk) 16:13, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Help[edit]

You guys have created a good page here. Can you help with Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz, California too, if you know it?Andycjp 14:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One more oceanside park[edit]

There is one more oceanside park that I am aware of - one at Mission Beach in San Diego HansInDanville 17:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And another?[edit]

"one of two seaside parks on the West Coast of the United States" What about Belmont Park? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmont_Park_%28San_Diego%29 http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=32.771144,-117.251458&spn=0.021778,0.023687&hl=en

I think I figured out the problem. The NHL nomination was in 1987. That year the San Diego park was shut down, and the Pacific Park did not open until 1996 according to its source. So the info is a bit dated. The NHL also calls it the "last major operating seaside boardwalk amusement park on the Pacific Coast", but "major" is a bit subjective. Unfortunately the misleading claim is repeated in the web site and other sources, probably from each other. Probably safe to say it is the "oldest" one?

Requested Info[edit]

I'm interested in the measurements of the park, but cannot seem to find them online. If anyone would happen to know and include them, I'd much appreciate it. 68.122.72.87 15:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CalTrain to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, doubtful or fake?[edit]

I live in Santa Cruz and I have never heard of CalTrain making plans to extend its service into Santa Cruz. This idea is listed in the trivia section of the article and I suspect this information is false. --71.146.14.94 (talk) 16:05, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably wishful thinking. Anyway, gone now. There is a continuing attempt to buy the railroad that went from Davenport's cement plant (now closed) but that goes south to Watsonville. Then there is the train from "Roaring Camp" which needs to be linked. W Nowicki (talk) 16:59, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Carousel[edit]

Some sources say the Carousel was moved here much later than 1911. Need to research this. ..... [later] ah, the issue is that the NHL nomination form has the wrong second page. Instead of talking about this one, it is the description of Flying Horse Carousel in Rhode Island! W Nowicki (talk) 17:42, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Old Rides Sources[edit]

Has anyone looked into providing sources for some of the former rides? I noticed only one has a citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mzaliva222 (talk • contribs) 05:03, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
