Kemah Boardwalk Other Attractions

One of the larger rides on the boardwalk, the Aviator takes guest high up into the air while they spin around a central tower. The views are great and the ride is relaxing.

Although the ride was damaged by Hurricane Ike in 2008, Kemah has the ride running like new once again. The large tower provides the best views of the park and the Gulf Coast. The ride cycle is long enough to get a good look at the surroundings and maybe recuperate from all those rides on Boardwalk Bullet!

This little double decker carousel is perfect for kids. Instead of just horses, there are other animals like zebras. There's even a circular seating area to spin.

The Century Wheel is one of the four rides to open with the original park in 1997. Although it's not a large ferris wheel, it does give a dyanmic view of the rest of the park and a nice, enjoyable ride.

Don't let this drop tower fool you: it's one of the best around. The slow lift builds anticipation while the vehicle prevents you from seeing the top of the tower. Once at the top, the car releases and riders plummit to the ground, stopping just in time. The brakes begin very low on the ride, which adds to the excitement of the tower. Aside from Boardwalk Bullet, this is the most exciting ride in the park.

Inverter flips riders head over heels several times during the ride cycle. Although not the biggest ride on the boardwalk, it's one of the most intense.

The Kemah Train is a miniature railroad that takes riders all around the boardwalk area. It's not just limited to the rides section either: the train weaves in and out of the various restaurants and other buildings on the site, sometimes even going through them. Kemah Train is a perfect ride for those not interested in more extreme thrills.

This standard swinging ship was one of the original rides to open with the Boardwalk in 1997. Just like something you'd see at a fair or other park, the Pharaoh gives a fun little ride.

One of the newer rides in the park, Wipeout is a standard ride like you might see at fairs. The ride spins around a central point while tilted to one side, creating a fun experience both kids and adults can enjoy.
