OK, where do I start. I work at the park, and half the people I work with, didn't even know the park was sold. 1) It is nice that I don't have to hear the announcements say "Paramount's" all the time. 2) It'll probably just be called "Great America", not "C.F. Great America....

Which rides do you work?

This has probably been a topic already, but for those of you who work or have worked rides at either Great America park, whch rides have you worked or are certified for? I currently work at the Santa Clara Great America. These are the rides I was at some point trained for in all my seasons at GA com...

Yeah, Invertigo's queue line is nasty, but at least it doesn't have a puke smell like Vortex's queue line has had for the past 2 years. Even though Demon's thememing has dramatically dissapeared, the upkeep of the ride is awesome.

PGA is doing an awesome job taking care of Demon's trains. During either the 2004 or 2005 off season, they repainted each train it's color(red, orange, and yellow) respectively. And also added the awesome looking flames on each car. They still use all three trains, just not at the same time. I belie...

Hey! Don't be dissing Nickelodeon. That's the section of the park that I operate. But, yea it does suck that they have taken a lot of wrong turns for trying to make the park "better".

Most of it would be built on the over-flow parking lot just over that little bridge next to where the 49'ers practice.

I wish I was kidding. It's not split in two. It's basically a race track. You can only go one way and if you go the other way you get yelled at. My friends and I got out of line because it's not worth going on anymore.

Rue Le Dodge Sucks!

I went to PGA today and my friends an I were in line for Rue Le Dodge (the best bumper cars in the world) and I noticed something different. I saw two signs with arrows pointing to the right, and I lookd towards the bottom and they added a one-way divider just like at the Boardwalk!! That sucks beca...

^Boomerang Bay is not an American themed water park. It's an Australian themed water park. The only part of the name they would have to drop from the water park is the "Crocodile Dundee" part. The rest of the name (Boomerang Bay Beach Club) could stay because it's not affiliated with Param...

I'll tell you exactly what the guy told me when I went for my job orientation there. He said nothing is going to take effect this year, everything is going to be Paramount this season. And he also said the 2007 season might not see any change ownership-wise. They might get a new ride but he said it ...

Greezed Lightening, how do you know Flashback is now operating? I highly doubt it's running. But again, I'll believe it when I see it.

That's really hard to believe because when Flashback was operating, it couldn't operate in the summer because it's right next to Hurricane Harbor, and it distracts the lifeguards. So it seems odd they just decided to open it during mid-summer. I believe that Flashback is operating 5%, but I'm going ...

Not MTV Soundwave because Paramount worked with MTV, CBS, etc. and the park is no longer Paramount.

I like PGA's because they don't have big name eating places like Gurnee has (Panda Express, Papa Johns). And that cup is not being used at Santa Clara, I don't know about Gurnee.
