I live for every time this man says "wee". There's something cathartic about it.

[@EctolsPlayAt1205AM]

I love the Golden Striker! It’s fast, and the drop is dark!

[@KannikCat]

The last element on Flight Deck is worth the price of admission alone. :D There's something about that pop over corkscrew right into the helix skimming the water that's just awesome (bonus if you take the leftmost seat to skim the water). Gold Striker is great too, it never lets up, and I'm looking forward to giving Railblazer a try sometime soon. Thanks for the video Robb, always love your exuberance and pure delight!

[@danielgriffiths8754]

Well I've been on Sunday mountain me and Orlando Florida before now and it is insane because and it's in the dark and it's got his really matted drops so if you're looking for a ride that you want to go on I suggest you go on there thunder Mountain in Orlando Disney that will be mighty female shuttle three for me for that ride quite good

It’s sad that it is closing in less than 11 years, I’m very glad I went back in May and we are going again in under a year, thank you for posting this video because then the children that will be born after it’s permanent closing can see the rides that are and were there. Fair well Great America🙁

[@iansterling9589]

I've always thought of Great America as my "home" park; it was the first amusement park I ever went to, and had the first roller coasters I ever rode (Tidal Wave, Demon, Willard's Whizzer). I haven't been since before Rail Blazer and Gold Striker were built. Heck, last time I was there, Patriot was the stand-up coaster and it was called Vortex. Okay, yeah, the last time I went to Great America, it was still owned by Paramount. Also, my condolences on your back (Grizzly) and your head (Demon). As much as I love the Arrow Loopers, they are some of the roughest rides out there anymore. I would love to see somebody come in and redo the track with more modern design techniques, but then it wouldn't be an Arrow anymore, would it? Thank you for sharing these with us!

[@brucegibson1813]

do you plan on visiting the park in the future? highly recommend it for railblazer and gold striker, absolutely amazing rides

[@blakegereau1261]

i respect this guy alot he does all his rides basically no handed because he has to hold the gopro

[@silverstar2052]

The last time I was at Great American was when it was still Top Gun and they still had the Vortex. It’s been soooooo long. I’m not much for roller coasters anymore, but I would love to ride my old favorites again!

[@brucegibson1813]

you really should.

It really sucks, I bought the new silver pass for this season so I can experience it as much as I can before it’s gone… it’s the closest park to home so it’ll be a sad day once it comes.

[@travisvanalst4698]

@@beachboysswiftie There’s a project in place to move all the rides to Fresno County near the I5 interstate I guess. Just an hour south of Stockton. They project managers are asking Cedar Fair and Prologis to move the rides and attractions there, but Cedar Fair is saying no so far. But the park where it sits now will not be saved.

[@anthonyochoajr9019]

Awesome rides !! I love it when I was young !! Know I have kids and we been going the last few years and we always have a great time

[@quintinrice2733]

On Paper, Flight Deck doesn't appear to be as good as a Batman Clone. However, I prefer Flight Deck due it's great first drop, and pacing. The ending over the lake is spectacular and the RED pops from everywhere in the park. Thank you for another amazing video.

That was awesome thank you for taking us back those memories of the demon formally turn-of-the-century and the vortex which is now that sit down roller coaster I remember visiting great America when it opened way back in 1976, when it was known as Marriotts great America and then Paramont great America, so sad to see it closing in 10 to 12 years looks like it’ll be going the way of the classic theme park in San Jose frontier Village it’s a shame, thank you for the video

I haven't been to what I still call Marriott's in 25 years or more. I have ridden the Demon, the Grizzly and Top Gun which is now Flight Deck. I missed riding Willard's Whizzer before the removed it. I would like to try Patriot and Gold Striker, but think Railblazer would be too much for me to handle.

I’ve been planning to go to great America with my cousins but it’s close on weekdays except Friday then I have to replant I’m excited to go to this park I’ve heard it’s nice and worth your time !!

[@harux9683]

So Im afraid getting on coasters and I heard that it makes you feel better by watching pov coaster riding like these to make it easier and less scary to get on a coaster in real life. So my complaint is that how come when it comes in person, the coasters looks twice as high then in the videos? I hate bamboozling myself lmao.
