- We're back at California's Great America! The season is finally open! The park definitely has had some work done since the last time I visited!
Also, I updated my season pass and got to try out some new food with a season food pass. The day was a little windy, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the park.
I hope you all enjoy the video! Like always, leave a comment if you have any questions or just wanna say hi! 😁

You should have added the Drink Plan+ to your pass, it now includes ICEE and Coffee in addition to fountain drinks!!
Whaaa, okay, when I go back, I'm going to ask about adding that.
Where is this at is it in California
@johnathanbryant5033 in Santa Clara. Same parking lot as the niners stadium.
@@johnathanbryant5033 San Jose adjacent city/ silicon valley
what used to be differnt at 9:50 was there used to be a strong man game! with massive prizes to win it was almost impossible lmao
@@explorewhatt oh wow! That's pretty cool! They should bring something back like that
The park looks 100% better from the last time I was there. Snoopy is my favorite. Since I was little. I even had a Snoopy lunch pail. I think I may have to get down there. Thank you for the update. This was great.
Haha wow! That's pretty cool! I like that snoopy is basically the parks mascot. You should definitely get down there! It was so much fun.
Thanks CC!!
@@Eldons_Excursions I need too
Love all the great food options. Thank goodness for that food pass haha. That chicken wrap looked delicious and it was a pretty decent size. Great video. Can’t wait to see where you take us next lol. Good luck with the job!! 😁
Right! That wrap was actually a pretty decent size. Thanks! 😁
Loved watching this video because it brought back so many fun memories for me from when I was a kid. Growing up, Great America was my park! But haven’t been there in so long. How exciting about the job interview! Hope this is the one😊Good luck and sending positive vibes your way!
Yeah! You're definitely over due for a visit. Thanks for the luck! 😁
Yeah, I have been thinking about that. I’m always so busy with work and stuff so I just have to find the time to go. I only live an hour and half away. Lol.
@@TrulyTheresa oh damn. That is kinda far. It would have to be a day trip for sure
Less than two hours isn’t bad at all. It’s just the time I need to find. I’m always so busy. Lol! But for sure a day trip soon😊
Love seeing this park, it was the park I grew up with, and so happy with the updates & improvements they are making just makes the park feel that much better. Here’s hoping this is not only a good sign for CGA but also SFDK and other Six Flags parks!
Yeah seriously! I really hope SFDK continues to update the park. So far, it's getting there. Still so much work to do
I haven't been to GA since like 2015....dddaannnggg all your videos are making me realize that I need to get out more😂😂
Haha yes!! Definitely get out! You may end up running into me lol
31:48 So agree! My favorite park ever is CGA… I’m usually there for the day, but I’m almost considering going for a whole weekend this year! I love it that much… so happy with the renovations they’re doing and have done, it’s looking great. Good luck on your job endeavors and when you go back… yes to the sweatshirt! 👍🏻
Seriously, that part is so much fun. When I go back, I'm so getting that hoodie 😁 you definitely go for the entire weekend!
The parks looking better every year! Fingers crossed I get the job! 😊
I live in san jose and haven't been there since 03 lol!!
Well you are way over due lol go back!
Nice video! Haven't been to Great America in years.
Thanks! 😁 You're way over due. Time to pay a visit!
hope you get the job. i'm rooting for you and want to see more travel videos.
Thanks man! Hopefully something comes through. More videos will be coming either way 😁
I’m gonna check out the KBF event this weekend
YO Eldon... on the crown, I hit up good spirits and talked to Putu and Johnson.... they say hi
Whaaaa, nice! Tell him I said hi!! Torn on going again at the end of the month. Might take another cruise down the California coast lol we'll see!
Ronto wrapppp
That's it!! Haha thanks 😅
My mom was wondering if the Great America and Six Flags are worth it this year. I try to keep up with your videos as much as possible.
Oh totally worth a visit. Especially during the specialty events.
Went late 80’s and 90’s. Lots of those rides are new
Oh man, you are way over due for a visit. So many new rides.
Thanks for the tour, you proved just how bad this park is. First of all, if you visit during the week ,you miss out on the peanut show. And all the rides that are closed is terrible, do they discount the admission price, I don't think so.
I'm goin back next month it's been like 6 years. The peanuts show looks funny AF omg bring back patriot
Haha yeah, the show is great! Patriot should be up and running now.
The passes are kind of weird, since they're calendar year but if you sign up in say late 2023 they throw in 2024. I didn't have GA last year but I got 2024 + the all parks pass since we have some summer travel planned and I should be able to go to enough random parks to make it worthwhile.
Yup! I think that's what happened. I thought I had an extended pass but I guess not. The all parks pass is definitely worth it for only 109$ more
Unfortunately even the city acknowledged that the contract CF has with the developers allowed for 11 years at the max for CF to remain at Great America. I am wondering though if maybe they aren't trying to get the real estate company to purchase the park from them, which could be the reason for the refurbishments. Also to note that all additions after gold striker are compact and easily removed (ie fire fall, mass effect, rail blazer, scrambler, gliders, gr8sk8, etc). I would like to see a better owner get the park and develop it. Sad to see so much closed that should have been given tlc in the off season.
I think with all the closers, that's from being short staffed for spring break.
I'm hoping the park stays. All signs are showing CF looks like they may be around a lot longer than we think.
So cedar fair actually announced plans for expansion in 2011 that’s why goldstriker came in 2013 but that expansion talk fell through when the niners moved to Santa Clara. The company even filed suit to try stop the stadium.
I really don't believe that this park is going anywhere. But someone told me that about a year and a half ago, he was seeing Six Flags having a board meeting and them saying that they may close Discovery Kingdom. But I doubt that will happen either. Bc not only they haven't publicly said anything about that, but with the merge I think these parks are fine
Edit: Star Wars land I think you mean the Ronto Wrap
Yess, that's what it's called! Thanks haha yeah, I don't think six flags is going anywhere as well. It may have been thought about but I don't think it is now.
I swear you always go to the park on the days I'm not working.
Haha idk how that happens 🤷♂️😅
You should have a Netflix shows about theme parks
Haha that'd be pretty cool
did you say in Mountain View lol?
Haha I meant Santa Clara... oh man I messed up that intro 😅
@@Eldons_Excursions No worries we all make mistakes, I just thought mountain view was kinda funny. would expect a san jose mistake and maybe a sunnyvale or milpitas but mountain view is not even next to santa clara
Eldon, should I go here or to Six flags with my 15 year old nephew? He hasn’t been to a theme park before, I’d love your opinion!
@SFNena415 depends, does he like animals and aqariums? If so, Discovery kingdom would be perfect. If he's only into rides and water park attractions, great america.
Ronto wrap from galaxy edge
Haha thats it!
9:43 - the wind decided it no longer wanted the "Race Today" banner up during the winter time...
Haha ohhh, that's what happened. I thought something looked "off" lol
GA turns 50 in 2026, so they are cleaning up the park
Exactly, and hopefully it stays that way 😁
