Great America very
photogenic double-decker carousel greets visitors as they enter
the park.
In 1998, Great America
added "Invertigo". Riders feet dangle
through 6 loops, 3 forwards and 3 backwards!
Ahh, look at that Vekoma masterpiece!
Top Gun
(above), one of Great America's signature rides, was one
of the world's first inverted coasters when it opened in
1993.
Top Gun spins riders upside down a total of 3 times.
It ends with a very intense helix over the water!
Bethany found a new friend!
The Grizzly is Great America's wooden roller coaster
With only a 44" height requirement, the Grizzly makes for a family ride!
Fred and Jim are really excited about the thrills that await them!
Drop
Zone is a heart pounding 227-foot Intamin free fall ride.
Tidal Wave one of my personal favorites, is a coaster which
launches you from 0-55 MPH in a few seconds,
races
through the loop, up a 170 foot tower, then does it all
over again....backwards!
One of only 3 Schwarzkopf shuttle loops left in the US.
This one is a 'weight drop' catapult style launch.
The Demon, one of the world's first looping roller
coasters,
gives riders the turn of the century as it
flips you upside down four times!
Vortex was one of B&M's first Stand Up coasters.
