About California's Great America

California\'s Great America (PGA)
Santa Clara, California (south of San Francisco)
408/988-1776

Originally opening in July on 1976 as Marriott's Great America with a sister park in Guernee, Illinois. The park was sold in the mid-80's to the City of Santa Clara and operated by Kings Entertainment. The city later sold the park to Kings, however kept and leased out the land. Kings was later purchased by Paramount, creating the Paramount Parks division. As of June of 2006, Cedar Fair acquired Paramount Parks, including several parks such as Great America. Cedar Fair renamed the park from Paramount's Great America to "California's Great America" between the 2007 and 2008 season.
