About the cover art:
Santa Cruz County is home to the
Giant Dipper, a classic wooden roller coaster. The most
popular ride at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, over 50 million
riders have thrilled to speeds up to 55 MPH since its opening in
1924. The Giant Dipper, a national
historic landmark, is also a media star. Its familiar tracks can be
seen in television commercials, videos and major motion
pictures.
