BRAVO for the Giant Dipper - it's truly a legendary ride! I cringe at the thought of most roller coasters but would gladly line up again and again to scare my pants off (and with an ocean view) on this beauty. And an insider tip - during the summer you can ride it for just 75 cents on Monday and Tuesday nights after 5 pm(at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk - http://beachboardwalk.com/).
