Discover why Paramount's Great America is Northern California's best choice for family fun and adventure.

If you're looking for a cooling splash for the whole family to share, an adrenaline rush, or the chance to look down, down, down to the ground, you've come to the right place.

THRILL RIDES
Paramount's Great America has the most thrill rides in Northern California. Check your fears at the door and get ready for the rides of your life.

Stealth
Experience the World's First Flying Coaster. It's more than a ride-it's a flight of body, mind and spirit. Experience flight without floors, walls or ceilings as you soar through surprising twists and turns. 

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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! 

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 stories toward the Earth skimming just six feet above the ground. *Additional fee required for this ride.

FAMILY RIDES
Paramount's Great America is Northern California's favorite place for family fun and thrills starring your kids' favorite Nickelodeon® characters, and the most kids rides and attractions in the Bay Area.

Psycho Mouse
Get ready to drop, twist, bank and curl on Northern California's ultimate new 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. 

SpongeBob SquarePants™ 3D
Take the plunge with SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom pals into a World-Premiere 3-D action-adventure at the Paramount Action FX Theater

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

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

Celebration Swings
Take a high-flying twirl 40 feet above the new Celebration 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. 

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! 

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! 

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. 

Loggers Run
Float along in your own log boat in and around the amazing Stealth. After a refreshing journey, splash down a 60 foot drop on this classic flume ride

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