Patriot is not a huge coaster with just a ninety-one foot drop...



...but with most of it squeezed over where the Triple Play and train once existed it certainly has a bit of a kick.



Patriot wasn't the coaster I had planned for my 500th but it was a pretty fun ride.



California's Great America is a really great looking park with some pretty good rides.  It might be missing the classics like the Tidal Wave and The Whizzer but it has a good collection of coasters, especially RailBlazer, Gold Striker and Patriot.



We had a wonderful time at California's Great America and I need to get back....The Demon still calls to me.

Now on to the next park on our excursion; Gilroy Gardens.
