Fireworks are reflected in the San Lorenzo River Saturday night as they light up the sky above the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk’s Giant Dipper roller coaster to celebrate the ride’s 100th anniversary. The historic coaster has thrilled more than 68 million riders since it opened May 17, 1924, when the Sentinel described it as “A wonderful kick from start to finish,” and with “aeroplane curves.” The roller coaster is the fourth oldest in the country and one of the oldest in the world, and in 1987 both the Giant Dipper and the Boardwalk’s carousel were made historic landmarks by the National Park Service. The Giant Dipper has also been featured in numerous television commercials, shows and movies including “Us,” “Bumblebee,” “Dangerous Minds,” and the 1980s cult classic “The Lost Boys.” (Shmuel Thaler - Santa Cruz Sentinel) © Provided by Santa Cruz Sentinel.
