This summer is going to be an exciting one in Point Pleasant Beach, specifically on Jenkinson's Boardwalk. We've seen that a new Philly Pretzel Factory is opening on the boardwalk, and we've seen that Jenkinson's Amusement Park is introducing two new rides: Point Plummet and Patriots Run.

And now, after months of waiting, it looks like Patriots Run, the newest roller coaster at Jenkinson's Amusements, is now open, and the new point-of-view video coming out looks like a ton of fun.

If you're not totally familiar with Patriot's Run, it's a coaster that's been erected to celebrate America's 250th birthday, and the carts themselves are painted a stunning red, white, and blue.

Thanks to Coliwood Studios, we now have an awesome first-person view of what it looks like to ride Jenkinson's newest coaster. If you're not familiar with Coliwood Studios, they were part of the team that moved pieces of Kingda-Ka from Jersey to Texas to be featured in a roller coaster museum.

A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Is Still Planned For Patriots Run

Although Patriots Run is now open and ready to ride, you may want to mark your calendar for July 16th. That's when Jenkinson's is doing a special event called Red, White, and Ride: Celebrating America's 250th, which will feature an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, as well as other fun activities throughout the day.

This is such a fun new addition to the Jenkinsons Boardwalk, and is just one of the reasons Jersey is home to so many great amusement parks. And if you think you're a real theme park enthusiast, how will you do on our theme park quiz below?
