I've been coming to Great America for years and I've always enjoyed myself to the fullest. Until this most recent trip when I was pulled over by park security, released, stopped again by four security guards at the gate and was accused of "casing the joint" to "steal cars". When park "security" didn't believe my story (and detained me for nearly half an hour while refusing to believe anything I had to say) and banned me for one year for "not showing enough respect".

Great job guys, you managed to get someone who has bought a season pass nearly every year, since I've been old enough to ride roller coasters, and just bought one for his girlfriend and her brother, banned for a year for not bending over backwards to accommodate the asinine accusations laid before me.

Be careful while trying to find a closer spot in the lot, you'll be accused of grand theft auto and banned.

Had a great time on a off peak day last July. I had eight roller coaster rides on that day and it was unforgettable. The Classic American Wooden Roller Coaster is definitely on my bucketlist. I will always prefer these types of amusement parks than Disney because i hate long lines... really hate long lines. Thank you Great America.

Went on a Monday, it was a lot of fun. There was hardly any people throughout the day so we never waited longer than 35 minutes for a ride. My only complaint is really the price of food, 17 bucks for a tiny meal and drink is highway robbery.

Decent theme park owned by Cedar Fair. If you're a coaster enthusiast, go for Gold Striker and RailBlazer. The rest of the rides are pretty average. Also, get a season pass if you plan on going more than once.

Me and my family of 7 just spent the last day at great of america to celebrate my nephews Birthday. We bought all day food passes for 7 people($210 value) on top of the normal entrance fee and experienced nothing but trouble. It took us over an hour and a half to even get lunch from the directions we received from employees and once we finally ordered our lunch and went to pay our wristbands did not work. Finally after explaining our situation to several employees we were able to get the only the meal (zero beverages and sides like we paid for). We tried doing this later in the day at a different restaurant and the employes didn't even take our wristbands... Pretty much we bought $210 worth of food for my nephews birthday, received maybe 70$ of that, and spend over 2 hrs trying to get food when that time could have been spent riding rides.... pretty much got our money taken... very disappointed, expected a lot more.

Need to give this place another shot but the whole time all you can smell while walking around is weed, the bathrooms were disgusting and the whole wait period is ridiculously long and so unorganized.

Too much line jumping and disrespect for others who are actually patiently following the rules. I understand it can be difficult to enforce, but to have guest services encourage you to line jump too is disappointing.

It's a fun amusement park too go only once a year.. I just wish it was a little bit more affordable for family to go, without gold pass. But the park just has its new era and it's old era at the same time. There's a lot of things that are outdated, I wish they change up their food menu. Overall all, it's only met for young crowd people.

It wasn't crowded, the lines were reasonable during the weekdays, and they didn't gouge as much as I thought. I wish they had healthier meals. You will get tired, so get the all you can drink cup to help when it's hot.

This place is horrible, but the kids love it.

The food court touchscreen system is a nightmare. I hope they realize this before the huge summer crowds. Good luck trying to get what you want. The clueless managers and the clueless staff don't help matters.

Do not wait for a Disneyland. The park is quite small, but has some cool roller coasters. Off season you can visit the main attractions in two or three hours, which is great. Expensive parking, better to avoid. I did not taste the food inside, but I found everything very expensive. You have the option of going out to eat and are allowed back

Disappointing. Park is nice, staff nice, half the park was closed!! No shows, few shops, All the closures should have been posted. Lots of kids , If no entertainment , at least park should be staffed to run most rides, I don't know if we'll be back .

It's a fun place with a variety of rides and water rides. They added new rides that look fun, especially the Rail Blazer.
The management tries to nickle and dime you for everything. They also don't allow you to bring food with you. There are food options, but all of them are fast food and not healthy. Pizza and fried food that's salty are the main food items.
The water park is really fun especially on a warm day. The season pass is a great deal, but eat a healthy meal before you come.
