Undertow, Steel roller coaster at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, California.
The Undertow steel roller coaster stretches across the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with multiple inversions, rapid turns, and a 70-foot vertical descent.
The addition of Undertow in 2010 marked a significant expansion of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which has operated continuously since 1907.
The roller coaster design incorporates nautical elements reflecting Santa Cruz's coastal heritage, with features reminiscent of ocean waves and maritime themes.
Visitors can purchase individual ride tickets or all-day passes, with the roller coaster maintaining specific height requirements for passenger safety.
The coaster's track configuration includes a series of synchronized rotations that simulate the motion of ocean currents beneath the surface.
