California's Great America - Park sold, eventually closing

I'm not sure about Gold Striker, but RailBlazer, Psycho Mouse, and the two family/kiddie coasters will be relocated or sold. Like TPOT said, the B&Ms could be scrapped due to lifespan, while Grizzly and the Arrow Looper will be scrapped.
 
Bump!
California's Great America has filed the mandatory WARN notice with the state's Employment Development Department ahead of 184 job cuts to take place around Nov. 2. Most of the positions are seasonal - like ride operators - but the eliminations are expected to be permanent, according to the WARN letter. However, a park spokesperson says "all full-time positions are being retained." Source
 
The beginning of the end!

Glad I managed to visit this summer, I really enjoyed the park and hopefully some of the more salvageable assets will be saved and moved elsewhere.

There's some real classics there that will bite the dust, which will be a sad day.

Went in June, but they only allowed us to film Demon and Flight Deck. However, they liked Scott so much that they invited us back to film RailBlazer, Gold Striker (Scott's original requests), and Patriot.
Here are the ones from the first trip, and I'll post the others on YouTube next weekend.

That was good of them to do that! Railblazer was my first single rail RMC and it was ridiculous.

The backstory about the pavilion and area around Flight Deck potentially becoming an area that could be used around 49ers games is fascinating, and the other stories about rides that were planned but didn't come to fruition.

A floorless coaster and an inverted coaster with stats identical to Patriot and Flight Deck have been spotted in a Six Flags passholder survey, suggesting there are plans to relocate at least some of the coasters from CGA once it closes. A single-rail coaster similar to RailBlazer was also mentioned.

Love that they included images of the only other model of Raptor, SFFT Superman and a Batman clone instead of images of the actual rides.

I guess they don't want to give away too much but anyone who's not an enthusiast won't care and anyone who is knows anyway 😂

is this about Six Flags parks in general or just SFMM?
Because SFMM already has an inverted coaster, a floorless coaster and a single-rail coaster.
