Review & FAQ:

Dating back to the late 1940s, Galveston Island Pleasure Pier was originally meant as entertainment for the military and their families. It was closed in 2008 after being badly damaged by Hurricane Ike, but it was carefully reconstructed and reopened in 2012. The pier still retains a nostalgic feel, but it also offers exciting rides like a thrilling roller coaster with four full inversions and a sea dragon ship that swings riders out over the water. In addition to the rides, the pier is lined with an excellent selection of midway-style games, restaurants, and shops.
