♥Great America!♥

Last Friday I went to Paramount's Great America! I haven't been there in ages, so it was good to be back. My friends and I went on most of the rides and only got stuck on one. It was the first time I went on Firefall, and I must say that that ride was fun, but super scary! I was screaming my head off! When the ride ended they had their usual technical difficulties, and we were stuck sitting there for about five minutes. It wasn't too bad, but that ride is not one that I would like to be strapped into for a long period of time.

Remember when Great America used to be all about Spongebob Squarepants and his other Nickelodeon buddies? Yeah, well not anymore! Now it's all about Planet Snoopy! Don't get me wrong, I love Snoopy, but did they really have to replace Spongebob completely??

Does this ride look familiar to anyone? Yup-it used to be Spongebob themed! Now it's all Snoopy-fied. I was wondering why there wasn't any theme music or bubbles flying around until Marie pointed out that it was a Snoopy ride. I was so sad :( The ride was still fun though!

Guess what ride was closed AGAIN? Invertigo, of course. Invertigo is one of my favorite roller coasters at Great America. It's too bad that it is never working!

Thankfully Top Gun, or should I say Flight Deck, was still a dizzying success for me! The guy who was seat belt checking everyone was so full of energy it was crazy! He would yell "CHECK!" for everyone that he checked and once the ride started going he would yell "GO! GO! GO!". We could literally hear him from the moment we got in line.

Speaking of "Flight Deck", why are all of the rides getting new names? Drop Zone is now Drop Tower. Why can't they stick with the original names that everyone knows them by? Goodness, what is this world of Great America coming to? It's okay though, because the rides are still fun, and the lines to the rides are shorter and go by fast. I even learned their new theme song while I was there! Overall, I had a fun time there and it is always a great experience.
