California's Great America to Close in 10 Yearshttps://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/south-bay/californias-great-america-to-close-in-10-years/2930738/The park operator Cedar Fair announced Monday that it sold the land and ultimately will close the park.
The company sold the land for about $310 million to San Francisco-based company Prologis.
They also said they've signed a deal with the buyer to continue to run the park for "up to 11 years" before finally closing it down at the end of their current lease.
Great America was opened in 1976 by Marriott, with a Bicentennial-Patriotic theme. Cedar Fair is the last of several owners of the park. Prologis hasn't announced plans for the land. One interesting prospect has to do with the Great America parking area being leased for Levi's Stadium (SF 49ers). Maybe that lease could be continued, and more parking added (it still is inadequate, last I heard).
