Tuesday we got the opportunity to visit our friends at California's Great America and check out the all new South Bay Shores! We got up close and personal with the park’s newest area, and most importantly their new bar! Written by Andrew Cunningham    If you remember our visit back in early May, pictured below, there was new bar being constructed by the wave pool that was hinting at some new signature drinks, plus beer. But who is Jack Mackeral, and what is in his famous Pelican Punch? The suspense of it all   Well, if you had guessed that Jack Mackeral is a Scottish fisherman who hangs out at the bar in South Bay Shores... then please DM us some lottery numbers immediately  Beers currently on tap at Jack Mackeral’s Sand Bar - Great White by Lost Coast (4.8% abv) - Modelo (4.5% abv) - Pacifico (4.5% abv) - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (5.6% abv) - Maybe we’ll see the return of the RailBlazer beer eventually, or some other new CGA beer?  Three frozen drinks round out the menu at the Sand Bar, including the signature Pelican Punch  Churro bar let’s goooooo  Pacific Surge, the new slide complex here at @CAGreatAmerica looks so fun! There are three new attractions up there: Shark Reef Plunge (the four drop capsule slides) - Feeding Frenzy (the bowl slide) - Barracuda (a twisting body slide)  And for anyone curious, the new drop slides have a maximum weight of 300 lbs per rider  Gnight I love this park Related Videos

 Last weekend I headed up to the Bay Area for a crazy impromptu road trip, and found myself at California's Great America for their passholder preview. This park is very quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite parks, not just in CA, but overall. Had an absolutely amazing day as you can see below! Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome back to California's Great America  Lots of signs inside and outside the park  Reservations required ... for now  One of the most beautiful park entrances ... don't @ me  Chuck says welcome back!  I was the only rider on the first Gold Striker Train of 2021, well, first public train  Social distancing markers in the queue, they weren't needed last weekend. They probably will be this weekend.  Whew, no football  The new starbucks looks great!     Mmmm, Railblazer   CGA has one of the best collections of flat rides of any park   Looks like it could reopen any time, hopefully this weekend   LOVE what they did to Psycho Mouse! Looks great!   There's a story here ... lol  The only open coaster we didn't ride  Can't wait to come back for South Bay Shores     Hello Flyers!  The Orbit is getting an extensive rehab and should be back around July, or so we hear    New coaster confirmed! (probably just paving)  I missed just sitting in the park, enjoying a snack. Patriot photobomed me!  The buckets are in there and ready to go!  A few more random pics around the park     It was so nice to meet up with Andrew, and see some other friends around the park!  The Demon was running great, and has added some new effects! Can't wait for some night rides!  Not generally a fan of IPA's, but this was quite good  Lots of space for ... something. As long as Kings Island doesn't steal it again. =)  Even Sally was out enjoying the day!  Last ride of the day was Flight Deck. I know they've said they didn't shorten the belts, but they totally did. Still, there are "Big Boy Seats" on pretty much every row now.  We had a great day at the park!  Hope you enjoyed, it's so great doing updates like this again! Related Videos
Related Updates:  Yesterday Andrew joined the ACE Northern California Group for a pre-season tour of South Bay Shores at California's Great America! We are super excited to see this area done and can't wait to enjoy some summer fun in the Bay Area. Check it out! Written by Andrew Cunningham  Beautiful day to check out South Bay Shores progress  One of the nicest touches California's Great America made to the waterpark is the addition of so many fun murals to bring color and story to the area     THEY HAVE A BAR HERE! Now to find out what’s in the Pelican Punch   The new restaurant inside South Bay Shores is coming along nicely and has some really good sounding food. Sign me up for some tempura shrimp and beer battered fish   How does everyone feel about drop capsule slides? I personally love them, but this has become a hot debate among several friends who find them too intense  Some great views from the top of the new slide complex. There’s also a really nice bit of land available for future expansion. We have a few suggestion California's Great America, have you considered a 500 foot T-Rex?    Drop capsule control panel porn for all you nerds out there. Related Videos
