This has been my local / main theme park growing up my entire life in the Bay Area and sadly I'll be moving away to the East Coast in a week. Ironically, I'll now be close to Carowinds which is owned by the same parent company Cedar Fair!

@@beachboysswiftie There’s a project in place to move all the rides to Fresno County near the I5 interstate I guess. Just an hour south of Stockton. They project managers are asking Cedar Fair and Prologis to move the rides and attractions there, but Cedar Fair is saying no so far. But the park where it sits now will not be saved.

I love the Golden Striker! It’s fast, and the drop is dark!

The last element on Flight Deck is worth the price of admission alone. :D There's something about that pop over corkscrew right into the helix skimming the water that's just awesome (bonus if you take the leftmost seat to skim the water). Gold Striker is great too, it never lets up, and I'm looking forward to giving Railblazer a try sometime soon. Thanks for the video Robb, always love your exuberance and pure delight!

Жыл бұрын

you really should.

I've always thought of Great America as my "home" park; it was the first amusement park I ever went to, and had the first roller coasters I ever rode (Tidal Wave, Demon, Willard's Whizzer). I haven't been since before Rail Blazer and Gold Striker were built. Heck, last time I was there, Patriot was the stand-up coaster and it was called Vortex. Okay, yeah, the last time I went to Great America, it was still owned by Paramount. Also, my condolences on your back (Grizzly) and your head (Demon). As much as I love the Arrow Loopers, they are some of the roughest rides out there anymore. I would love to see somebody come in and redo the track with more modern design techniques, but then it wouldn't be an Arrow anymore, would it? Thank you for sharing these with us!

That was awesome thank you for taking us back those memories of the demon formally turn-of-the-century and the vortex which is now that sit down roller coaster I remember visiting great America when it opened way back in 1976, when it was known as Marriotts great America and then Paramont great America, so sad to see it closing in 10 to 12 years looks like it’ll be going the way of the classic theme park in San Jose frontier Village it’s a shame, thank you for the video

The Demon was my first roller coaster that I rode. That was back in 1983.

So Im afraid getting on coasters and I heard that it makes you feel better by watching pov coaster riding like these to make it easier and less scary to get on a coaster in real life. So my complaint is that how come when it comes in person, the coasters looks twice as high then in the videos? I hate bamboozling myself lmao.

I feel so old, i remember when your daughter was just riding her first rides. T_T

gold striker at night is elite
