In a statement obtained by the Mercury News, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk spokesperson Kris Reyes said, “While we are disappointed to close rides and attractions, we anticipated the likelihood Santa Cruz County might move back and forth within the tiers and have prepared to adjust our operations accordingly.
