A Great Addition

Patriot takes riders to a 91-foot height before plummeting them into a 360-degree loop at 45 miles per hour. Patriot’s position in the park makes it a dynamic visual from three different sections of Great America, and the blue coloring brightly contrasts other area rides.

The inspiration for the coaster’s name was taken from the fact that the ride is nestled adjacent to All American Corners within a park whose name celebrates America.

The transition from the stand up Vortex coater to a floorless ride included state-of-the-art blue and white trains, which position guests with their feet dangling above the blue and white track.

With multiple inversions and tight turns, Patriot quickly became a favorite for Bay Area thrill seekers.
