What’s old is new again, as Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier officially opens the all-new Sea Dragon to the public.
The all-new Sea Dragon is a classic amusement park attraction that has been a beloved part of the Santa Monica Pier experience for over 26 years and replaces the original version of the same ride that also sports the familiar bright green, scaly exterior.
The new $1.5 million Sea Dragon has been installed in the identical space and delivers the same high-swinging ride experience, but features a variety of new ride enhancements including custom music and sound to amplify the experience, wind generators, and a misting system to make riders feel as if they are riding the dragon out over the open ocean, and shaking seats to replicate the stormy seas. The new Sea Dragon lights up the evenings with LED energy-efficient lights lining the ride car and 40-foot tall ride supports.
