Now you're in my neighborhood. I used to operate the Cave Train back in the 1970's. It's considered a classic by the locals.

My wife and I visited here some years back, we found it fun. The pier has some other classics, including the carousel and the wooden roller coaster. If you take the sky ride, you may notice some of the cave dwellers enjoy it, too.

A couple of the puns in the ride have a Flintstones quality to them, but for some reason a few of the cave people's faces reminded me of the Rugrats!

I’m always fascinated by this ride. I have a lot of unanswered questions: somebody decided this was a great idea to put money into and build. Who was it, and why? Was this some ersatz Disney visionary? How hard did he have to fight to realize his dream? Or was it a cold calculated boardroom response to Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean?” Did they go to any lengths at all to pretend they were not ripping off “The Flintstones”? Why is the A/C always broken in the Ice Cave? When did they put in the new soundtrack instead of (like they used to) using Danny Elfman’s “Breakfast Machine” score from “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure?” Did they ever pay any royalties on that in the first place? If not, did they get sued? It’s hard to find specific history of this attraction though there’s a lot of stuff about the Boardwalk out there. I ride this thing every time I go, thinking I’ll understand it better. But I never do, and I’m filled with questions every time the ride ends.

I really loved the new update for this ride, but the dark light it’s too bright during the ride. They really need to lower the dark light brightness. Still one of my favorite ride in Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. :)
