Key Points:
- California's Great America amusement park in Santa Clara will close permanently on Labor Day 2027 after more than five decades of operation.
- The park, which opened in 1976 as Marriott's Great America, is currently owned by Six Flags and has experienced multiple ownership changes over the years.
- The closure is due to the expiration and non-renewal of the park's land lease, which ends in June 2028; the land was sold by Cedar Fair and leased back to the park.
- A farewell season will begin in March 2027, offering guests a final opportunity to enjoy the park, with more details on operating days and hours to be announced later.
- Park manager Dave Vosejpka emphasized the park's role in creating family traditions and memories for generations of Bay Area residents.
