  • Wait times are accurate.

    We’ve been trying to ride RailBlazer all summer, but the lines have seemed just way too long. After downloading this app, we saw a window where the wait time was only 25 minutes. We got in line and it was
    about 25 minutes, when we got on the ride. App gets 5 Stars just for saving us time!
  • Don’t bother with this app

    This park is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, how can this app be so terrible when there are tons of tech people all over the Bay Area who should be helping to make this app just as good as the Disney wait time app.
    I’ve been standing in the Psycho Mouse line for 25 minutes already and am only 30% thru the line. The app currently says it’s a 5 minute wait. What a useless app!!

  • Not a bad app

    I don't know what all the fuss is about in the reviews section- it's very easy to find any places in the park including rides, restrooms, food venues, and more! You can mark your parking spot easily. Even if a feature like friend finder doesn't work, the app is most definitely worth the download.
  • Never correct data

    Isn’t the point of a ride wait time app to actually show you wait times??? The app never shows the correct rides even open and I have yet to see one show and actual wait time!! This is Silicon Valley! Come on GA, you can do better then this!!!
  • Helpful

    Great to have our season pass loaded into the app. Also nice to have wait times. Bummer that you can’t get wait times when not at the park. Disney app has that and it’s a nice feature. Overall for a local park, this is a great feature to it.
  • Helpful App

    I was able to download this app and use Great America's free wifi while in the park. The map was extremely helpful when trying to navigate throughout the park and I liked how it gave me information on the different restaurants. It would be nice if they included a full menu for each location, but the brief descriptions were good. Wait times and lines seemed to be accurate. I didn't use any of the other features but the ones that I did use worked great! Recommended.

  • Not even worth a star

    Garbage application
    Incorrect wait times and locations
    Don’t waste your time downloading. Better off sticking to the standard map and guessing wait times as you stand in line
  • Fix location service

    Most features don't work unless location services are constantly on which will kill the battery. It gives an option for locations to work only when the app is open, but this doesn't work. Only the "always" feature works.
  • Wasted Time and Battery

    The "Find Friend" feature only worked intermittently. The map is too small to be useful. Worst of all, it ate up batteries of all our phones so we could not text each other when the gps feature didn't work. The instructions say to "drop a pin" on the map when parking, but we could not do so. Better to get a paper map at the Park and text each other to find. The app seemed to imply that the tickets would be scanned from the phone on the app but they were buried in email--not the barcode version--so I had to spend an extra half-hour at guest services verifying my purchase and getting paper tickets. Preprint your tickets instead.

  • Waste of data

    Useless app. GPS "where am I?" function barely works. Car finder is a joke. The parking lot map has lanes running east/west and in real life they're north/south.
    Other park's apps( like seaworld's) not only give you accurate info also provide footprint directions of how to get to a different location; have good info on what shows are where, etc. with that on you almost don't need the paper map. Wish I could say the same for this app

    It's a waste of time and your data plan to download and install it.
