California's Great America, Santa Clara, California

Heading into Yukon Territopry it is really obvious that something really big is missing...well technically two really big things.  The Loggers Run flume and Yankee Clipper hydro flumes from Arrow Dynamics that opened with California's Great America are long gone.

The reason why they are gone is that with California's Great America used the space for a waterpark.

Looking out from the Eagle's Flight you can see that they are expanding the Boomerang Bay water park.

California's Great America has two kiddie coasters.  The first one is Lucy's Crabbie Cabbies.  Unfortunately you need a child to ride this.  My child was half a continent away and with him being nineteen years old I doubt having him along would have gotten any of us this coaster credit.

Replacing the long gone Anton Schwarzkopf designed is a simulation ride based on the Mass Effect games.  I'll take the Schwarzkopf coaster over a simulated thrill ride any day.
