GREAT! America My middle school celebrated our graduation by taking the entire class to Great America. The roller coasters are absolutely unbeatable and the prices aren't too bad. The WOW cards are totally worth the money, since you'd be able to go back all season! Great America is an assured great time!!!!

Best Place for Teens Each year we get the WOW card and it's always a great deal. The rides are the best and I love that they keep adding things, such as the new Boomerang Bay. There are 2 things that I don't like...the over-priced food and the lines. But this is a problem in all theme parks. During the day the park seems safe enough to drop off younger teens on their own, but I would not allow them to stay after dark. Still fun for families as well due to the variety of rides and some shows. We'll keep getting our annual pas... read more

A Sad Story I've visited this park over the last 4 years, and it's very obvious to me they're not doing much to keep it up and running. I hear they're in financial trouble. I understand they've wanted to build new "E-Ticket" rides in the park, but the city commission has voted them down every time, because the surrounding large corporations say the noise and screaming would distract their employees from their work (as if the current screaming doesn't do that already). They took out two great rides - "Stealth" (to put in Boom... read more

Fun for teens, so-so for the rest of the family Great America is great for teens--lots of "extreme" rides. However, it always seems really crowded and is very expensive. Maybe I'm just not a big enough amusement park person to endure all that. PROS: lots of rides, fun for teens CONS: expensive

Not like it used to be I was disappointed on my last visit to this park. It looked dirty and unkept. Sure, it isn't Disneyland, but there should be a level of cleanliness and maintenance that reflects the Paramount image. I was amazed at the spider webs and dirty buildings that could be seen while standing in line for rides. Sure, these areas aren't a focal point, but it was grimey and dirty to look at. It sure isn't the same park that I visited in my childhood.

Great Amusement Park Compared to the amusement parks in Southern California, Great America may not be as much as thrilling... but still is an awesome to spend time with friends and families! Many rides, games, food courts and you can spend the whole day there and still have more to go!

Fun ! Fun ! Fun! I went there when I didn't have my son and I enjoyed every second I was there. Last year, I took my son and wow ! we had the most amazing time. They don't just have those boring carousels when it comes to kids rides. They even have a mini roller coaster for your little ones :) and a whole lot of other fun kids rides. I am looking forward to go there again this summer.
