Belmont Park

Belmont Park is San Diego’s only beachfront amusement center, and is home to the Giant Dipper, a rollercoaster built in 1925 that has since been added to the National Register of Historic Places, comprising 2,500 feet of track and thirteen heart-pounding hills and complete with a photo opportunity at the top! What other rides can you experience at Belmont Park? Without giving it all away, here’s a look at just some of the excitement that awaits you at this sunny oasis of fun:

• Beach Blaster: A super-thrilling four-seater that swings riders 60 feet in the air and 120 degrees in both directions, while giving you prime ocean views!
• Control Freak: A unique passenger-controlled ride that flips you upside down and all around, over and over.
• Krazy Kars: A wild and “krazy” bumper car ride with a twist…
• Vertical Plunge: The ultimate heart-stopper, this super-thrill ride slowly brings you up to a height of three stories, holds you there….tantalizingly keeps you there….and BAM…drops you down in a freefall!
• Waves: FlowRider®& FlowBarrel ®: “Waves” lets you get wet, cool off and escape the heat of the sun while testing out your surfer-face and braving the breakers churned out by these wave-making machines!
• Coconut Climb: Race your friends to the top of a pair of side-by-side, 25-foot coconut trees!
• Lazer Maze Challenge: Duck and bend your way through this timed laser maze adventure, and see what awaits the champion!

…and many others! Satisfy your post-ride hunger with some classic “boardwalk” food at any of the park’s eight dining vendors, play a round of mini-golf, and don’t miss the chance to pick up some beach apparel or get a henna tattoo at one of the park’s featured stores. If you’re lucky, you might hear some live music blasting from the Belmont Park’s awesome concert venue, which regularly features world-famous bands. Bring the whole family for a day at Belmont Park.
