California's Great America Update - June 29th, 2025
Tiki Twirl Open & Minor Summer Updates
I'm finally back at CGA for another update! I haven't felt a huge push to get back given that so little has changed and that was borne out by my visit this month. The highlight was undoubtedly Tiki Twirl reopening for the first time in at least a year, likely longer! Not a ton else has changed, but let's take a quick look at the things that have!
It's great to be back at the park!
To start, the board was totally off today because the rapids were indeed open!
The big news this month is the reopening of Tiki Twirl!!
There was a whole saga around this ride that included some critical parts falling off a truck on their way to the park that delayed it but I'm so glad that it's finally back! Now we just need that retheme to make it fit NorCal County Fair!
Over at Tradewinds Mercantile, there's a new sign up top that looks great and wasn't there in April
And in the back of the shop, there's some new decoration and a fire pit that I'm sure will be great when the weather is cooler!
Of course, since it's the summer, it's time for South Bay Shores!
In addition to SBS, we get a couple of open water rides...
And the other! It's great to have them open for the summer!
The floral tunnel is finally in tip top shape!
Over in Orleans Square there's a tent with some games!
It's good to see the Peanuts gang out and greeting again!
And finally, here are some shots of Railblazer to end the update!
I need to actually get on the ride one of these times...
And that finishes our update! Like I said, it's not a very long one because not much has changed! I can't say exactly when I'll be back at the park, likely August! I look forward to my next visit and I'm hoping that there's a little more interesting of a change then!
