Talk:Daytona Beach Boardwalk

Out of date
A note to myself or to someone else who comes across this first: the article seems to be out of date regarding the pier. This relatively recent Orlando Sentinel article can be used to improve the article. --BDD (talk) 06:25, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Renovations & Removed Rides
At some point between late June 2017 and mid-December 2017, the amusement rides section appears to have closed, and some have been removed. This Article by the Daytona Beach News Journal talks of new rides opening in June; however, I was there on December 14th and multiple rides had been removed or replaced, and there were signs of construction. It might be related to the wintertime or Hurricane Irma, but I can't find sources for either. The place is heavily disheveled though and clearly not operating, with bits of construction visible, yet the entire area was accessible.

The rides currently there are:
 * Go Gator (Children's Intermark roller coaster. A transplant from South Carolina, according to an expired permit sticker.)
 * Whales (A modified version of Hampton's Umbrella Whales. From photos of the article linked above, this was not originally covered.)
 * Twister (I believe a Scrambler style ride)
 * The Sand Blaster (A Pinfari Zyklon Z64 roller coaster)
 * Scrambler (A Eli Bridge Standard Light Package Scrambler)
 * Silver Streak (A Wisdom Industries spinner ride. This version wasn't covered, and was the only ride to have an "Out Of Service" tag.)
 * Fun House (A generic stationary fun house with exposed wiring. Fun for the family.)
 * An unnamed small Ferris wheel style attraction, situated on a trailer meant to attach to a truck.
 * Ferris Wheel (A Hildebrand Rides Ferris wheel. This apparently replaced an older, much larger Ferris wheel.
 * Spider (A Eyerly / Battech Octopus ride.)
 * Venturer (A traditional simulator ride. However, the park only had the 'capsule' itself, and none of the hydraulics or control systems. The capsule was also in poor shape)

The Go-Karts have been replaced with Spider, Go Gator, and an arcade. Slingshot is gone, and so is Hurricane.

Broadwalk
I've removed the paragraph discussing the "actual name" as 'Broadwalk', which has remained without citations since it was added in 2014. The only results I'm getting in searches about this are quoting this article.

Pinging who added this information; if you have a source for this, please add this paragraph back with a reference. You seem to be a local, so you may have better sources which aren't as easily available online. Thank you! HerrWaus (talk) 14:38, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
