GREAT AMERICA

By: Samson Xu and Karol Guzman

Hey, 8th Graders! We have a trip to Great America on May 17th. The price will be $40 if you don’t have season pass, and if you have the season pass you have to pay $10 for the bus ride. We are departing from school on 5/17/19 at 9:30 a.m and coming back on the same day at 5 p.m. California’s Great America is in Santa Clara, California. From Marina Middle to Great America using a charter bus, it will take us about 1 hour to arrive. Great America has many fun rides such as, the Drop Tower, Grizzly, Railblazer, Gold Striker, Flight Deck, Demon, and The Patriot. As Great America approaches, we are even more excited. Hope you have fun during the trip!

The rides have usually have long lines, but the lines shouldn’t be that long since the trip is on a weekday. The day should be very fun and you should come prepared with your own lunch or a lot of money, because the food at the theme park is VERY expensive. Hopefully it doesn’t rain on May 17th ( it probably won’t ) then you would only need a thin jacket.

There is a new ride called the ‘RailBlazer’ it is an intense and exhilarating roller coaster. On the ride it will be very scenic. It is safe a secured so you won’t fall down. There are also many amazing options such as burgers, pizza, chicken, sushi and many more of your favorite foods.

There will be 20 chaperones ( teachers and parents ).

And about 257 8th grade students will be going SPOTS ARE LIMITED. “I’m not going to Great America because,

I believe it is not worth the price.” - Ty Ty Luong ( 8th grader) “I’m going because most of my friends are, it is going to be very fun too!” - Kent Zheng ( 8th grader ). “ It will be fun to go on all on the rides!”-Supath Gurung (8th grader).

We ( Samson and Karol ) wrote about this article because we thought it would be good to tell the 8th graders about Great America before the big field trip. It is always good for people to be informed before going.
