This summer, my family went to Paramount's Great America.  We had so much fun! 

Thrill Rides 

For those that are brave!

SURVIVOR The Ride
Surrounded by the sounds of tribal music and jungle drums, thrill seekers embark on a journey past fiery 40-foot tall torches, exotic tribal relics and tropical landscaping reflective of previous international Survivor locales.

Delirium
Fire up on the fierce new Delirium-a powerful spinning pendulum that will send you whirling.

Demon
Experience airtime and multiple loops as you encounter The Demon... As the "senior member" of the roller coaster contingent at Paramount's Great America, this ride still packs a punch!

Drop Zone Stunt Tower
Experience the rush of gravity as you descend 22 stories in less than four seconds on the DROP ZONE Stunt Tower, one of the tallest and most intense free-fall rides in the world. Hold on tight as your vehicle coasts down the 224-foot tower in complete safety.

Invertigo
Face fear - and your friends, as you race through loops and boomerangs, and then back again! First you're pulled up 138 feet above the ground. Then, speed down the lift, and shoot up into a "boomerang," a 180-degree turn with double inverted side-winders. Exploding out of the boomerang, head into a 72-foot-high vertical loop before rocketing to the top of the second 138-foot lift. You'll have just enough time to catch your breath before you do the whole thing again in the opposite direction.

Psycho Mouse
Get ready to drop, twist, bank and curl on Northern California's ultimate family coaster, Psycho Mouse. You'll enjoy chasing this mouse through quick hairpin curves and up and down thrilling camelback hills. This rude rodent features 14 crazy twists and turns along 1,257 feet of track.

Top Gun
Time to take off on TOP GUN, the incredible suspended "jet coaster." Soar through a 360-degree vertical loop, two 270-degree afterburn turns, a full-circle wingover, and a zero gravity roll. If that's not enough, you take this 50-mile-per-hour flight in a floorless coach, suspended below the coaster's steel track.

Vortex
The Vortex features a 91-foot lift hill, a 360-degree loop and weaving, twisting track that threads its way through the eye of the loop. You ride standing and straddling bicycle-type seats in trains that travel up to 45 miles an hour. Padded shoulder harnesses secure the riders - four abreast - in their cars.

Xtreme Skyflyer
Experience the breathtaking thrill of hang gliding and skydiving. You'll be hoisted 153 feet above ground, and dive at speeds up to 60 miles per hour while free-falling 17 sto

Family Rides 

Barney Oldfield Speedway
Drive back in time as you cruise around The Grizzly in an antique roadster. No road rage here-just the wide open highway.

Carousel Columbia
Take a spin back in time as you ride the world's tallest double-decker carousel.

Celebration Swings
Take a high-flying twirl 40 feet above Hollywood Plaza. Celebration Swings spins you in a 70-foot diameter circle at nine to 11 revolutions per minute, an exhilarating experience ideal for the whole family.

Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay Beach Club
Families can take the plunge on 13 water slides, climb and explore a giant water-powered playhouse and bounce and play in a children's splash area.

Flying Eagles
Go interactive on Flying Eagles where you pilot your own bird of prey as you zip through the sky.

Loggers Run
Float along in your own log boat in and around Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay. After a refreshing journey, splash down a 60 foot drop on this classic flume ride.

Psycho Mouse
Get ready to drop, twist, bank and curl on Northern California's ultimate family coaster, Psycho Mouse. You'll enjoy chasing this mouse through quick hairpin curves and up and down thrilling camelback hills. This rude rodent features 14 crazy twists and turns along 1,257 feet of track.

Rip Roaring Rapids
Take the family on a white water rafting expedition as you navigate down a rugged river course in a 6 person raft. You're sure to get wet!

Rugrats Runaway Reptar
Travel down a trail of messy destruction with The Rugrats%u2122 after the good dinosaur turns very bad on this family coaster.

SpongeBob SquarePants%u2122 3D
Take the plunge with SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom pals into a 3-D action-adventure at the Paramount Action FX Theater.

The Grizzly
Grab your family and enjoy a thrilling ride on this classic wooden roller-coaster. Rugged hills and bumps make this a great ride for everyone!

White Water Falls
Plunge down a 45-foot waterfall and then splash down through a 20-foot wave of water on this popular water attraction.
