Onride: 'West coaster' 🎢 (Mounted) 4K/POV 2023 - Pacific park santa monica pier

The only West Coast, oceanfront, steel roller coaster located on a Pier over the Pacific Coastline. Ocean sprays breeze by riders as they escalate to a height of 55 feet. The coaster provides spectacular views of the Santa Monica Bay and the Pacific Ocean as it trails from one end of the Park to the other at 35 mph.

The West Coaster first debuted when Pacific Park opened in 1996 and has been a signature ride for the Park ever since. The coaster’s double-helix track has become an iconic profile for the Pier and is often featured in films, TV shows, and advertisements as a quintessential “amusement park” shape. Often silhouetted by the setting sun, the coaster’s iconic status for a seaside amusement park attraction is rivaled only by the classic, decades-old wooden coasters at Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk and Belmont Shores.

The ride begins with a 50ft climb to the top of the Park where riders can take in the sweeping views of the Los Angeles Bay before plummeting around the first helix. From the rotational trajectory of the helix, the coaster rides over two stomach-lifting hills (be sure to smile big for the camera here!) before careening into the second helix that completely surrounds the Scrambler next to the towering Pacific Wheel. The train dips down to the Pier deck right before returning to the station. The West Coaster runs with 4-5 cars that each seat 6 people.

The Santa Monica West Coaster (also known as The West Coaster) is a steel roller coaster located in Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California. The ride was manufactured by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing, and opened on May 25, 1996.

After leaving the station, riders instantly start climbing the lift hill. After a little dip in the track, riders go through 2 helixes and go into 2 quick bunny hops. Riders then go through 2 more helixes before entering the station.
