I'm back at California's Great America for another update from the park! This month the headliner is some more construction in the Action Zone area, most likely for a new ride. But that's not all we have, we also have some news about ride refurbishment and plenty of smaller updates. Let's get going!

Action Zone Construction

Walking over to Action Zone, we see the walls that we've seen the last couple months but they've been pushed out a decent amount

They get very close to Drop Tower at this point

From in Grizzly's infield, we can see into the zone. Nothing too crazy at this point, mostly just torn up concrete, but I bet we'll see something soon. This seems like the logical place for that Zamperla WindstarZ that we've seen rumored. And it'll be a great place for it to go to draw some more interest to the back of the park

In addition, there was some new concrete work over by Drop Tower

My hope is that it gets filled with plants and is the start of transforming Action Zone into a more natural California-themed area

A closer look at one of the tags in the new concrete work

Ride Refurbishment

So since CGA no longer has the winter alone to work on refurbing rides, that work will be spread out into the low traffic months, like right now

To start with, Drop Tower is open again from its refurbishment!

Gold Striker is closed. The employee out front told me that it'll be open in a month or so

Continuing around the park, Tiki Twirl was too. Gotta love the reference to the old name

Centrifuge was too

And all the cars were off the ride

Both Rip Roaring Rapids and White Water Falls were closed

The Sky Ride was closed too

And finally, Demon was closed. There wasn't a refurb sign out front so it might've just been a slow start to the day

Misc Updates

There was a sign out front saying limited operation and that was born out by the list of closed rides. Most are refurbs as listed above

The fountain is almost ready!

The workers are almost done painting the fountain by the time I left

The stage up front was set up for a performance

It was really cool to watch!

The performance was really long too and it was great!

Maggie's was closed too unfortunately

The stage seems to be set up for the Peanuts Celebration that starts soon

This was set up in Orleans Place. Usually it gets decorated for the various festivals throughout the year. Maybe it's here to stay

There's a new sign up in All American Corners. Love this design!

Filling Station was (kinda) open

It's selling some beer and other drinks

The scrim was finally up on Mass Effect

It looks so much better! The queue also looks a little refreshed too

I've never seen this little Snoopy in the annex but I like him!

I wonder if these are for the festival next month

This is a new setup for the seating area/character picture location

And that'll wrap up our update for the day! It's awesome to see some more progress happening in Action Zone and I'll keep my eyes on that super closely. But I'm also really excited to see the rides in the park start to come online again after their refurbs. My next visit to the park will be at the end of April to check out the Peanuts festival!
