In May 2006, it was announced that Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. would be acquiring the entire Paramount Parks chain for $1.24 Billion USD. On June 30, 2006, Cedar Fair announced it completed the acquisition of Paramount Parks, including Great America. The transaction includes licensing agreements with Nickelodeon and Paramount, providing the park the option to retain its Nickelodeon and Paramount theming for several years.

On October 25, 2007, Cedar Fair announced the park will be renamed California’s Great America and that it would also receive a 14 million dollar investment over the next two years. With that announcement, the park also announced the addition of a new flat ride called FireFall, a new wooden roller coaster to debut in 2009 to be made by Great Coasters International, a new ice show in the newly renamed “Great America Theatre” (formely The Paramount Theatre), and bringing the Halloween Haunt event to the park next year. – Wikipedia
