What’s New?
The Boardwalk is bolstering its family lineup with two new attractions for 2020.
Wave Rider will occupy the former spot of the Ferris wheel between Rock-O-Plane and Tsumani. The 35-foot-tall ride, manufactured by Salem, Ore.-based Battech Enterprises, sends up to three riders down a wavy up-and-down slide. The slide is expected to open in time for spring break.

Lighthouse Lift Off will replace the Climb ‘N Conquer climbing wall at the entrance of the Boardwalk located between the Looff Carousel and Undertow. Riders in a tandem seat can pull a rope to ascend a rotating 30-foot tower, while letting go of the rope allows the seat to sink slowly towards the ground. The interactive ride is scheduled to open in time for Memorial Day Weekend.
