Man, this was exactly the time I went with my friends as often as I could. I'm very close in age to the kids in the video. What a trip down memory lane.
This was the time frame when my high school used to take annual trips here before school started each year. Good memories of how it looked. Go here a lot now with my kids to the water park but it just feels like a different park then back in the 90s.
This is some really great old footage of my favorite park! Reminds me of being a kid. Thank you! How did you manage not to drop the camera on the rides?
DUDE! The Skyhawk! That’s what I was looking for! I rode this once when I was about 11 or 12 with my cousin and I never forgot it because he spun the pod upside down and kept it there the whole time. He said the stick broke. Scared the S out of me. Still super fun in my memory though.
Wow. A blast from the past. The Edge, Vortex, Skyhawk, Revolution.....all gone. Yeah, Patriot uses the same tack as Vortex did, but it's a different ride.
@glenen grivas, when the algorithm kicks in, you will able to take care of your grandchildren for years to come. I went there every summer day from 1996 to 2000!
I remember going to great America when top gun first opened. Vortex was rad, man I miss those days. The Orleans orbit, the tidal wave, grizzly sucked tho.

Nice editing!
Long live GREAT AMERICA!
Dear God I’m old! I remember all these riders
80s and 90s forever
Great childhood memories here. Too bad they're demolishing the entire park in 9 years.
OMG the nostalgia. Thank you for sharing. It really brought me back to my summers there at Great America. 😁
