Yankee Harbor

Yankee Harbor was a themed area within Great America and was one of the original themed areas that debuted with both Great America parks. Yankee Harbor was themed after a New England seaport of the late 1800s. It was located between Orleans Place and Yukon Territory and is the first opening day themed area to be completely ditched by both parks.

History
Plans for Yankee Harbor are present in early plans of the park. 1972 design plans of the park look almost identical to what was actually built excluding the unbuilt American Heritage Theatre which was poised as a future addition but was ultimately never built. The land that the American Heritage Theatre was supposed to use was eventually used by Spinnaker.

Yankee Harbor opened with both parks in 1976 and featured staples such as Yankee Clipper.

In 1977/1978, The Tidal Wave opened in Yankee Harbor and replaced Spinnaker, marking the first major addition to the parks. Tidal Wave was eventually closed in the Gurnee park in 1991, replaced by Batman: The Ride and Santa Clara's Tidal Wave was eventually closed in 2001.

Sometime between 1998 and 2004, Yankee Harbor was consolidated into All American Corners in the Santa Clara park.

In 2022, Yankee Harbor was renamed DC Universe in the Gurnee park ultimately meaning that both parks had, for the first time ever, completely abandoned an original themed area.
