Steven, for the home page picture, who are the 3 people, which park is it, and is that plaque still located someplace in the park? I found the caption, which says "we put the marriott in MGA", so I'm assuming the 3 people are the marriotts yes?

Hi Pictoriumguy, at PGA if you were to pass under stealth into the backroads of the park, you would have crossed an employee service road. Once you crossed the road, there was a large area surrounded by a chainlink fence. This area was the boneyard. Since the waterpark was built, the boneyard is now...

Sky Whirl/Triple Wheel Souveniers, Stand

Is there anyone can share with the site, any triple wheel/sky whirl items? There was a stand next to the ride that sold items, but was there any items specifically for the sky whirl? Snowdomes, postcards, etc?

I still can have a fun time at PGA, I try to ride the older rides such as the loggers run, demon, sky tower, etc. While some employees can be rude, I had plenty of good experiences with the employees.

How about the Trolley?

Hi Steven, I think you did a great job putting the train in the rides section of the main page. I was thinking, how about the trolley? I know it's gone from santa clara, and it was neat, and the cars were stored in the bone yard after they were removed. Any chance you could put some pics/story in th...

I know that great america in santa clara was almost demolished in 1985 to make room for offices, but the city of santa clara bought the park and saved it. For a few years it was known just as great america, until it became paramount's great america.

When was Skyhawk a ride?

Does anyone know when Skyhawk was a ride at santa clara. The cars were in the boneyard, was it an 80's/early 90's ride? What replaced it?
