Cyclone Door Accident At Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
Posted on August 6, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | 3 Comments
One of Z’s favorite rides at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk reportedly started falling apart on Monday. Apparently the entrance ramp/door to the Cyclone opened while in motion and banged into the interior ride a few times before the ride-op could shut it completely down. Although news reports are full of quotes like “[t]he door flew off and almost killed my daughter“, and my personal favorite- “You could tell it (the ride) was pretty much out of control and coming apart,”…

Two Tuesdays back Z and I headed to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for what we intended to be a short trip. The plan was to drive over the hill, spend about an hour in the ocean, teaching Z to dive under waves and maybe body surf a bit, then get our annual Old Tyme photo.

Plus I’ve been trying to find a way to get…

Part of the Carnival Midway Games Series - Previous in series Next in series
Z and I made our first joint trek of 2008 to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk last weekend. I’ve been unable to afford to renew our season passes yet, so it was a games only day (oh and Z finally got her first deep fried twinkie - she liked it 
). Sometime over the winter semi-closure of the Boardwalk a couple of major changes occurred…
Belated Weekend Report, pt 2 - Disc Golf
Posted on October 8, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood | Leave a Comment
I opened part one of this weekend’s report with the statement that I was physically unable to write this earlier. Then I never really pointed out why. Well, here’s your answer…
Emboldened by our successful french toast endeavor, Z and I headed up to Hellyer Park in San Jose to play our first round of disc golf with her new discs. Last weekend, before we headed to the hospital we stopped and picked up some specific discs for Z to train…
