I know the layout of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk so thoroughly that I know exactly where they slapped that thing with one glance:

Right by the Sky Glider entrance BAM and its so funny to me that they were like JUST PAINT A BIG SHEET OF WOOD AND PUT LIGHTS ON IT AND STICK IN ON THE BEACH FUCK IT because they didn't want/couldn't alter the appearance of any of the attractions on the actual boardwalk itself? u gotta understand that there are not just things sitting on the beach like that in RL, they just propped that fake door against the bottom of the boardwalk wall the raises it up from the beach

Thats so funny to me because for Lost Boys they were going ham fucking with the boardwalk for that movie, making Santa Carla neon signs and sticking them on real parts of the boardwalk!

you know wat, was gonna comb through the movie for some better examples of stuff they changed on the actual boardwalk for Lost Boys but damn they need to make a cut of the movie thats just the boardwalk scenes, I ain't going through all this 80s vampire boy drama right now lol

*edit*

you fucking see? It just tickles me that they stuck that set piece right here of all places

Doesn’t matter the context but the California Sun by the Rivieras will always mean it’s Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk season.

Once when I worked at the Santa Cruz Beach Boarwalk, I got ready for work, drove to work, circled for ~30 minutes looking for parking, getting progressively later for work in the process, and finally just went home.
