So I was looking through all of the topics for the sake of boredom, and noticed a lot of new members(at the time) were asking what some abbreviations meant(ex. TDK, AE, STT, etc.). So for your enjoyment, I made a list of most abbreviations and other things about Great America. Enjoy!

RB- Raging Bull OR Riptide Bay(again, look at the rest of the sentence)
RC- Ragin' Cajun
RLD- Rue Le Dodge
RR- Roaring Rapids OR River Rocker(once more, look at the rest of the sentence)

I only mentioned alpha order because if you don't know what an abbreviation is, you aren't going to know what part of the park the thing is. Logically, you want to find the abbreviation as quickly as possible.

Further, I also was thinking of non-SFGAm abbreviations like other commonly mentioned parks, other communities like TPR, and anything else that EVER gets talked about here.
