Take a Front-Seat Virtual Ride on Patriot

When Patriot opened in 2017, it brought a completely new roller coaster experience to California’s Great America. This thrilling scream machine takes riders on a high-flying journey in a floorless vehicle. With the track visible just inches below the riders’ feet, Patriot creates a unique and exciting perspective for guests as they watch the roller coaster’s steel rails race past their dangling legs.

Patriot takes riders to a height of 91 feet before banking left and diving back to ground level in a twisting first drop. The track then soars skyward—taking riders through a 360° loop at 45 miles per hour. Patriot smoothly swoops and dips as it navigates a series of high-banked twists and sweeping turns. Near the end of the ride, guests are flipped head over heels once more as they speed through a final corkscrew inversion.

With multiple loops and tight turns, Patriot is a favorite for Bay Area thrill seekers!

Check out the video below to take a virtual ride on Patriot. As one of the most thrilling rides at California’s Great America, Patriot can even deliver an exciting ride to your phone, tablet or TV!

As communications manager, I get to tell the incredible stories of our park to the world—and take our biggest fans "Between the Lines." I’ve been an incurable amusement park fanatic since I was a kid and have worked at two other parks (shout-out to Cedar Point and Valleyfair!). Now, I can’t wait to share my passion with our readers!
