Coaster Palooza Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Hi, We were invited to the Picnic Preview at California’s Great America in April. Sorry that the Trip Report is so late, but better late than never…. The food at the picnic area is awesome! If you have a big group, this is a great deal. They had ribs, chicken, lasagna, hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, etc. Everything tasted really good too! Thanks so much for the invite CGA. I wanted to keep this part short, so onto the pics! Pretty good crowd ERT doesn't get better than this.... Sky Ride to the back with Gyendolynne You get to see a lot from up here... Not operating!!! This is why we're here! We gotta find the beer stand that is running. Here are the choices... Big Mike has me beat on the non blurry pictures of pricing. Yep, found the beer stand. DJ in the house. Snoopy Characters for your enjoyment. Lucy and Linus with yours truly! Ryan giving away prizes for the raffle. New show at the playhouse. Hello, something is missing here! Do you think Slaughterhouse is still set up in there?
Angry_Gumball Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 About the last photo... I know Toy Factorys still up. If you peek between the claw machines you can see the packaging crates still intact.
SoCalCoasters Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I know I'm a minority here, but I love CGA. i've always though the park was beautifully landscaped and well balanced when it came to ride and attractions. It's really a shame that Cedar Fair has pushed this park to the edge of their focus, as I believe that it could grow astronomically with a bit of care... Crossing my fingers that come August (when CF rides are usually announced) that the rumored attraction, whatever it may be, will really be announced. I think that if they don't add a new attraction for next year, it's a clear sign that they are basically not investing in the park, and pretty much are throwing in the towel...
thrillrider Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I have never been to this park, but it looks rather empty. Not just of people, but rides also.
