There are 12 thrill rides within, plus countless Midway games, ocean-front specialty food outlets, and seaside shopping.

Next, keep the thrills going with any of the 11 other rides along the way, popular choices being the Western Coaster, Sea Dragon, Seaside Swing, and Shark Frenzy.
After you've had your fill of thrill chill out with some classic boardwalk-style Midway prize games, then settle in for a much-needed lunch or dinner at any of the many seaside eateries. You will find everything from classic California cuisine to tacos, burgers, and funnel cakes along the way!
