The recent announcement from Cedar Fair about the sale and the inevitable closing of California's Great America has the roller coaster community shook. It's always a bad day when an amusement park closes its doors. Especially to the locals who claim Great America as their home park. While this is terrible new for the coaster community as a whole, it's good news for the smaller, neglected parks in the Cedar Fair chain. These parks now eagerly await to learn which of CGA's hand-me-down attractions they will be gifted.
In this episode, we briefly discuss the history of Great America, Nick's experience visiting the park and our thoughts of why Cedar Fair decided to pull the plug. Most fun of all, we give our best guesses as to which parks will become the new owners of these hand-me-down roller coaster and thrill ride attractions.
