Cedar Fair, the parent company of Great America Theme Park recently announced that 2008 rings in a new identity (and a number of renovations) for the amusement park.
“Ultimately, it is all about providing our guests with new and exciting reasons to visit,” says Bill Lentz, General Manager of California’s Great America, “and we feel that these new additions for the 2008 season will accomplish just that.”
New for 2008 is the Firefall the new thrill ride that takes 40 brave riders to a height of 60 feet, then subjects them to 360 degree vertical arcs as they twist, turn and spin through both fire and water effects. FireFall is manufactured by Huss of Germany.
In 2009, California’s Great America will add to its roster of thrill rides a new world-class wooden coaster. This copious coaster will boast a lift of 104 feet and take riders on a two minute ride at 52 mph through a twisting first drop, low to the ground S-turn, and a high speed station
fly-by! Designed by Great Coasters International, this ride promises to take coaster enthusiasts to new heights.
Bringing back an old time favorite for the entire family, California’s Great America will debut an all-new Ice Show Spectacular to their summer line-up. Performed in the newly named “Great America Theatre” the Ice Show Spectacular will feature a professional ensemble of skaters, dazzling sets, colorful costumes, and plenty of surprises!
Longer summer hours are also in the works.
