The Santa Monica Pier's Sea Dragon ride, which opened in 1996, was retired Thursday and replaced by a new, $1.5-million ride.
Jeff Reitz of Huntington Beach set a Guinness World Record for most consecutive daily visits to Disneyland: 2,995 days.
The classic ride, which opened on May 26, 1996, was replaced with a new, $1.5-million Sea Dragon that makes “riders feel as if they are riding the dragon out over the open ocean,” the amusement park said. The ride was installed in the same space as the original Sea Dragon and has new features such as shaking seats and a misting system to “replicate the stormy seas,” Pacific Park announced in a statement.
“The enthusiasm that guests have for the original Sea Dragon and its extreme popularity prompted us to introduce the all-new Sea Dragon and reimagine the ride experience while providing the same classic swing ride that guests know and love so well,” Smithson said. The original 26-foot-long bright-green dragon carried more than 12 million guests since it was installed in 1996, according to Pacific Park. For 10 days, the dragon was displayed just outside the amusement park for guests to take pictures and share
