FEBRUARY NEWS
The Boardwalk is gearing up for Spring with longer hours, full ride operation, "2 for 1" Weekends and the 24th annual Clam Chowder Cook Off and Festival.
It’s exciting to watch the park prepare for the new 2006 season. Artists are touching up the paint on the Carousel horses, beach driftwood is being cleaned up from winter storms, and construction is proceeding underneath the Boardwalk for the new WipeOut ride!
This Spring, WipeOut will open in the Cave Train area, in a "seaside cavern" tucked underneath the Boardwalk. Inspired by local surf culture, the ride delivers the thrills of a board-crunching day at Steamer’s Lane. When the ride starts, the lights go out, the music heats up and riders spin through space to the beat of high-energy surf music and a state-of-the-art light show. Get ready for some serious fun!
Here's the February scoop…
