37:32 Ah, the old Vomitron 3000. SFGAm is my home park.I used to drag my friend on rides like this when I was younger and more foolish. A few weeka ago I rode this ride. After I got off, I immediately took my all season drink bottle to the snack stand across the way and got some Sprite. I then took a picture of this ride and sent it to my frien along with an apology for dragging him on those types of rides. I then sat down on a bench and settled my stomach with the Sprite. When it comes to flat spinning rides, the most extreme ones I can do are the tea cups because you can control the spin.
It made me so dizzy, I basically stumbled out of the exit 😂 Flat spinning rides are far from my favorite kind of ride, but I had never ridden this one before, so decided to give it a try, at least! Love your home park, btw! It's way better than my version here in Northern Cali!
There were originally going to be three Great America parks. The third one was going to be in Virginia, but they ran into some of the same opposition (wealthy landowners not wanting the poors bespoiling their pretty views) that Disney later faced with their Disney’s America park. SFGAm used to have two antique car rides. I suspect one of them was originally intended for the Virginia park and they just installed it here instead. Their names were Great America Raceway and Traffique Jam. GAR was about where Goliath is now. Traffique Jam was where the currently SBNO raft ride Roaring Rapids is now located.
Yeah, both of your parks are sister parks of each other, both owned by Marriott, but separated in 1984, but they're finally back under the same ownership. This park kept alot more of the original elements than the California one, especially since CGA removed their Whizzer in 1988
I think the Chicago one just has a lot more land to work with too, the plot at CGA is very limited with the stadium and commercial real estate surrounding it
Welp, this is cool!
Awesome you are amazing keep doing amazing everyday all day your amazing

Great first Vlog Mark
Thanks! First of hopefully many more!
@@themeparkmark1 you’re welcome and nice
Before Katrina. What shame and a shame what it has become in the aftermath like most of New Orleans !
Six Flags Great America is still open. What are you talking about Six Flags New Orleans is the park that’s abandoned
@@tigerrocks503chase8 Sorry@tigrrrocks503chase8. That’s what I thought it was because I’ve never been!
I prefer Raging Bull over Thunderstriker at Carowinds. That was the weakest B&M hyper IMO.
Thunder Striker just has so much airtime! Plus, I love the staggered seating on it, the longer trains just make the airtime hit even harder, imo!
@@themeparkmark1yesssss on staggered seating! Can you imagine a giga with staggered?? Only in our dreams 😂😂
Yeah the Great America parks were originally owned by Marriott
That's what I thought I recalled reading somewhere, but my memory is terrible 😂
