Buzzy Bee

Buzzy Bee was one of numerous children’s rides located throughout Marriott’s GREAT AMERICA. The ride’s original location was in Yankee Harbor, near the suspension bridge to Orleans Place. Children rode in small bee-like seats, which they could operate to raise and lower as the ride rotated. Buzzy Bee can still be found in Santa Clara although it has been relocated and renamed.
