Thanks for the video! Planning a trip to Houston to go ride Boardwalk Bullet soon.

The bullet is the best!!! I didn't realize there were these many rides at the Boardwalk!!!!

My home park! I’ve ridden these rides many, many times. If you come on a weekday, it’s fairly easy to marathon the big rides. My personal favorites are Flare, Drop Zone, and of course Boardwalk Bullet. Drop Zone is legit one of my favorite drop towers because of the airtime. I grew up riding the Bullet, and it has definitely gotten a lot smoother over the years. One of the more underrated wood coasters out there. Hopefully someday Six Flags or Cedar Fair will notice us in Houston, but until then at least we have Kemah :)

Ha! I rode only the train and Boardwalk Bullet, and still it was worth the long drive to get there from San Antonio.

Glad you enjoyed Kemah in my neck of the woods. I saw the park evolve especially the railroad. I remember the tunnel before theming. Filmed the Bullet being built and captured some footage atop the Boardwalk Tower. Kemah is a great "get away" for rides, shopping, dining. One of my New Years rituals was to watch the fireworks @ 10 pm from Bubba Gumps Patio. Still make it home by mid night and watch the neighborhood fire works. The Beast is STILL fun, though they cut the speed from 60mph to 40 which would save a lot of fuel. At Christmas time they have a "boat parade" That's a lot of fun too.

I was able to visit while on a business trip to Houston. I only got to pop in quickly and ride Bullet. But it still looked like a cool place overall.

Boardwalk Bullet is so amazing, still my # 2 in the state! I love those top 3 rides, and the atmosphere and setting is so nice. I was able to get a good deal on a weekend pass that included Galveston's pier.

I hope Houston gets a new large theme park soon to replace Six Flags Astroworld. its a shame they only have 2 smaller boardwalk parks for such a huge city

Nice video! Enjoyed learning about this park.

Are you going to return to Texas next summer? I'd love to hear your perspective of the new Dr. Diabolicals Cliffhanger at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and maybe even a review of the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier if you're out there. Maybe that could be an opportunity to visit the Schlitterbahn waterparks as well.

During my most recent visit I realized that if you move the wings just right, you can essentially “snap” Aviator in the same way that you can snap flying scooters. I was able to get some extremely out-of-control rides on it, and it’s my personal #3 in the park (behind Drop Zone and Bullet of course).

Everyone talks about Boardwalk Bullet which is of course the star attraction here but the other flats are actually perfect for me. Larson Drop Towers are one of my favorite non coaster rides ever, probably my favorite of drop towers. And Pharaoh's Furys are the best swinging ships because they have pretty much no restraint besides a bar that doesn't touch you.

Absolutely love this place, boardwalk bullet is an awesome woodie, but the boardwalk gets real crowded during spring break like 2 hour wait times

[BigDCoasterFam]

Thanks for the video! Could you do Pleasure Pier and ZDT next?

[ScottyMania]

If I had to best describe this place it would be "Upscale Carnival". I definitely look forward to spending some time here, doing a little shopping, taking a few rides on the Gravity Group's impressive coaster, and preparing my lungs as I get ready to boo the heck out of those dastardly Astros.
Alex Bregman will hear the boos so loud it will sound like twenty Boardwalk Bullet riders at once.

I went here in 2013 and early 2016. It was pretty cool! AKA Belmont Park Texas.

[midnightgreenamusements]

It’s ironic since I was just there today (I’m on spring break so I’m doing a weekend trip to Houston/San Antonio) and doing those parks for the first time.

[jackpowers]

Do you think that this park is part of the reason why Houston never got another major park post Astroworld?

[coastercult]

Are you working on Hagrid‘s magical creature motorbike adventure review

[micoasters]

I’d love to stay in a hotel near there, my family loves the beach and I don’t. So they could stay on the beach and I would marathon boardwalk bullet for a few hours.
