The Grizzly, Wooden roller coaster in Santa Clara, United States.

The Grizzly is a wooden roller coaster at Great America in Santa Clara, featuring a traditional out-and-back layout that takes riders on a twisting journey through the park. The ride cycles through a series of turns and descents that vary in intensity throughout the course.

The ride was designed by Curtis D. Summers and opened to visitors in 1986 as part of Great America. Major track enhancements were completed in 2014 and 2017 to improve the experience.

The Grizzly's name and timber structure recall the bears once common in California's hills; the ride opened in 1986 as one of Great America's original wooden coasters. Its out-and-back layout sends trains out along a straight run of hills and back again, a form American parks have used since the early 1900s.

Riders must be at least 48 inches tall, and loose items go into lockers at the entrance before boarding. The track runs 3,420 feet, with a top speed of 45 mph and a ride of about two minutes fourteen seconds.

The Grizzly was designed by Curtis D. Summers and built by Kings Island Construction, and its cars run on steel wheels over traditional wooden track. That wheel-and-track pairing is what keeps positive g-loading on riders through the whole course.
