Jenkinson’s Boardwalk is thrilled to announce the addition of a brand-new roller coaster, Patriot’s Run, set to debut in the Amusement Park for the 2026 season. Standing over 35 feet tall, this larger family coaster will feature conventional trains and a classic lift hill, offering riders an exhilarating cycle of twists, turns, and thrills for all ages.
With bold red, white, and blue theming, Patriot’s Run will honor and celebrate America’s 250th Birthday—a fitting tribute to the spirit of freedom, adventure, and family fun.
Jenkinson’s Amusement Park currently features 28 rides, the majority designed with younger children and families in mind. Patriot’s Run marks a new chapter by introducing an attraction that appeals to a more adventurous audience, while still remaining family-oriented and accessible for riders of different ages. With the addition of this new coaster, Jenkinson’s continues to provide new opportunities for families to create lasting memories together at the Jersey Shore.
At Jenkinson’s, we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to enhance our Amusement Park and deliver the very best experience for our guests

Patriot’s Run will not only celebrate America’s 250th milestone, but also provide guests with a ride experience that balances adventure and family fun—perfect for thrill-seekers and younger riders alike.”
Patriot’s Run will replace the longtime fan-favorite Tidal Wave. Guests can enjoy their final chance to ride the Tidal Wave through September 1, 2025, before it makes way for this exciting new addition.
