Fodor's Review:

At the gigantic theme park Paramount's Great America, each section recalls a familiar part of North America: Hometown Square, Yukon Territory, Yankee Harbor, or County Fair. Popular attractions include the Drop Zone Stunt Tower and a Top Gun movie-theme roller coaster, whose cars travel along the outside of a 360-degree loop track. You can get to the park via Valley Transit Authority, Caltrain, and BART.
