The Dania Beach Hurricane was a wooden roller coaster located in Dania Beach, Florida, beside the Boomers! entertainment center in Dania Beach, though it was owned and operated separately. Designed by Dennis Starkey and built by Coaster Works, Inc., it was a classic example of a traditional wooden coaster that combined nostalgia with thrilling elements.
