50 years of Great America
In 1976, the Marriott Corporation opened two amusement parks known as Marriott’s Great America – one in Santa Clara, California, and the other in Gurnee, Illinois. 50 years later, these parks have rich histories which deserve to be documented. This collaboration project exists to celebrate and document the last 50 years of history at California’s Great America and Six Flags Great America.
The goal is to improve the quality of all articles related to both Great America parks, and ultimately promoting as many articles to good article or featured article status as possible. Lists of relevant articles can be seen below.
Get involved!
All you have to do to contribute is improve an article related to either of these parks, even in a minor way!
