Getting started

What to expect
California’s Great America is Northern California’s home to iconic thrills and welcoming family experiences, featuring more than 50 rides and attractions across the park. The lineup spans world‑class coasters and family classics, inviting guests to choose their perfect day of speed, splash, or kid‑friendly fun.
Features
• Coaster fans can take on RailBlazer, the West Coast’s first single‑rail coaster, where eight‑passenger trains straddle a single track for nimble twists, a 106‑foot climb, a 90‑degree plunge, and three inversions. Gold Striker blends a throwback wooden profile with modern engineering, highlighted by a signature initial descent tunnel that heightens the sensation of speed from the very first drop. Flight Deck, the park’s inverted steel coaster, soars to 50 mph through a vertical loop, a zero‑gravity roll, and sweeping turns above the lake.
• Families will find a full day of discovery in PLANET SNOOPY®, where kid‑friendly rides and play areas bring the fun and whimsy of the PEANUTS® Gang to life. When it’s time to cool down, South Bay Shores waterpark—included with park admission—delivers a full slate of slides, splash zones, dining, private cabanas, and the Breakers Bay wave pool.
• With convenient Bay Area access and a summer season filled with fun, California’s Great America makes it easy to create memories with the family—whether you’re chasing coasters, exploring new adventures with little ones, or relaxing poolside between rides.
