Psycho Mouse - California’s Great America
My favorite photo story yet…
The entire family was having a pretty rough opening day at California’s Great America and we were only halfway through the park when we spotted Psycho Mouse. Since I’d ridden it years ago I didn’t need it to further my Coaster Quest so we sent Gavin and Zaira to ride while the adults rested on a convenient bench.
Suddenly Zaira comes running back towards us yelling and pointing. It took a full thirty seconds or so for either her mother or I to translate that she was saying they had an on-ride photo. She was so excited that she was essentially shouting gibberish! You can’t really see the photo booth from the outside because it’s tucked along the exit ramp on the left side of the building. This is a bad habit evidenced at Great America’s log ride as well.
Obviously I went on the ride with the kids (and loved it, BTW). Although they only had a generic, starred cardboard frame and no digital frame at all, they were still displaying the old Paramount’s Great America ride photo poster so we were able to get a shot of that as well. I absolutely love that digital frame and am really hoping Cedar Fair will revamp it without the “Paramount’s” so we can add it to our collection at a future date.
