California's Great America is an 112-acre (45 ha) amusement park [1] located in Santa Clara, California, United States.Owned and operated by Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, it originally opened in 1976 as one of two parks built by the Marriott Corporation.
The ride was the tallest Larson Loop in the world. It replaced King Chaos, a top spin ride which closed at the end of the 2017 season. While Six Flags claims this attraction to be a roller coaster, it fails to meet the definition as it does not use gravity at any point in the ride to 'coast’.
They feature either four, five or six cars fitting four people on each one. Wonderland and Great America's models fall at a top speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) and are 227 feet (69 m) tall, while Carowinds' model fell at 56 mph (90 km/h) and is 160 ft (49 m) tall.
