Marriott’s Great America – 112-acre (45 ha) amusement park located in Santa Clara, California. The park was operated by the Marriott Corporation from 1976-1985, opening to the public 1976-Mar-20.
The park has changed ownership several times: 1985–1992: City of Santa Clara and Kings Entertainment; 1992-2006 Paramount’s Great America: Paramount Parks; 2006-present California’s Great America (Cedar Fair/Six Flags)
At the park’s opening in 1976, the park featured appearances from Looney Tunes characters, including Bugs Bunny. After Marriott sold the park to the Six Flags corporation, the rights to the Looney Tunes characters passed along to them, and the 1984 season was their final one. The park began using Hanna-Barbera properties in 1985, including The Smurfs, Scooby-Doo, and Yogi Bear
