I was working on an unofficial eras timeline for Great America for personal use or in case anyone makes a video of the history of our park and this is what I’ve come up with so far, this is a WIP so any suggestions would be appreciated

Some time, on way to successful, first of steps of all of the steps to being successful steps are hardest of all of the steps to successing.

I'd use the "Marriott's Great AMerica Logo" for the golden age.
Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back

This is awesome I’m working on a history video of the park with footage from Screams & Dreams. Hope to have it out when the park opens for the new season
It’s probably too early to say if we’ve entered another era, especially since the season hasn’t started, but I feel rakshasa ends the ride drought we’ve had and the merger is a big enough event to warrant a new era since there’s definitely change on the horizon

Let's see if you can beat out Airtime Thrills lol

Nah, CCG will definitely beat him, especially since Airtime Thrills probably won't do a documentary on SFGAm until 2026, since he usually does documentaries for parks on their 50th Anniversary. Not to mention that it's not guaranteed he'll make a documentary for SFGAm since he usually does one per year and the park he makes the documentary on is decided via votes from the fans. Sure, it looks likely that SFGAm will win, but with our luck a huge swarm of Valleyfair or CGA fans will pop out of nowhere and sabotage the votes. (Not literally sabotage, but you know what I mean.)
On another note, this is actually a really nice timeline. It's organized well and the eras make sense to me. Reminds me of a SFGAm video I want to post on my channel (despite it not being focused on coasters).

I've thought of a SFGAm documentary a while back but didn't know how to organize it. I'd love to since i know so much about the park outside the coasters.
Also there are no Valleyfair fans lol

I'm probably the lone Valleyfair fan who hasn't visited the park. I was hoping to get on a Morgan in Wild Thing and trying out my first GCI in Renegade, but I didn't get to ride either since I visited Minnesota in January and the park was closed. (It was part of a birthday trip to visit MOA for Nickelodeon Universe.)
Here's how I'd organize the documentary (anyone can steal this by the way): 1. The Construction of (Great) America, in which you would discuss how the park was built, any inconveniences the crew ran into while building the park, and a bit about the Marriott corporation. 2. The Grand Opening, in which you would discuss how the Grand Opening of the park went, including any ceremonies that occurred and what rides were open, among other details. 3. The Marriott Years, in which you would just discuss how the park changed during the Marriott years. 4. Early Six Flags Management, in which you discuss how SF bought the park, what they gained from it, and how they changed the park. 5. Mid-Six Flags Management, in which you discuss what SF changed about the park from when Premier Parks bought SF, to when X-Flight opened. 6. Later Six Flags Management, in which you discuss the coaster additions, management changes, and such from 2012 up until the merger. 7. Post-Merger Management, in which you discuss Rakshasa and future plans the new SF has in place for the park.
At least, those are just my ideas. Probably not the best.
