California's Great America History

Amusement Park Road Trip

Jan 23 2024 • 31 mins

Join us this week as we discuss the long and complicated history of California's Great America in Santa Clara, California. Starting as a park built and owned by Marriott, the park passed through many owners over the years and is currently a Cedar Fair park. But, Cedar Fair has sold the land and plans to officially close the park by 2033.

Some of the rides we discuss are Carousel Columbia, Gold Striker, Railblazer, and their 4D show,  Mass Effect: New Earth. We highly recommend watching videos of these rides if you are unable to make it to the park before it closes.

Have you been to this park, or plan to go before it closes? Let us know!
