Six Flags Columbia Gardens

Located in, formerly Paramount's Columbia Gardens and simply Columbia Gardens.

History
The St. Ann Street site that became the Columbia Gardens was actually the second park by that name. The first was established in 1888 by John Gordon and Frederick Ritchie, on land leased from William Adams in the Horse Canyon section of East Butte. The first site did not have sufficient trolley service to make visits worthwhile for every day visitors, and so it was not financially successful. Adams sold out to William A. Clark in March 1899, who was looking for a way to curry favor in an attempt to become a U.S. Senator. He decided on a public park for the benefit of the citizens of Butte. He won election in 1898, but was unseated by the Senate after 14 months of his term due to rumors of corruption in his election. (He would be sent back to the Senate in the 1900 election.)

Clark had Jesse R. Wharton (1857–1923), manager of his Butte Electric Railway Company, scout for a better location near their trolley routes. The location at the east end of St. Ann Street was chosen, and the first 21 acres were purchased (later expanded to 68 by 1925). After relocation and new construction, the new park was opened to the public on June 4, 1899. Clark died in 1925, and his copper holdings and the trolley line (which included the park) were sold to Anaconda Copper in 1928. The park continued to be a tourist attraction for local residents and visitors to the "Richest Hill on Earth", with Anaconda investing more into the park to benefit its workers and lessen the impression it did not care about them or the community.

In 1999, Wayne Carwardine II became the general manager of the park, and after becoming general manager, he focused heavily on trying to be "Montana's Extreme Park" by adding more thrill rides, to rival a park he used to be affiliated with, Billings' Wild Kingdom, in 1999, the Tunnel of Love ride that has been abandoned since the late 1960s (and viewable from Top Gun: Jet Coaster and Drop Zone Stunt Tower) was demolished, and in it's place came Paramount's Action Zone, featuring the Vekoma Invertigo coaster "Face/Off", the older "Movie Zone" section was turned into a part of the new land, the new land was mainly given criticism for being filled with asphalt, in contrast to the dirt trails of the rest of the park.

Trivia

 * This park is one of the few parks to have National Park-esque trails instead of asphalt paths to get to rides.
 * During the Paramount era, there were statues of SpongeBob, Patrick, Reptar, and Indiana Jones as well as an actual Grumman F-14 Tomcat used during the production of Top Gun, but they have since been sold off to museums after Six Flags' purchase of the park (the F-14 Tomcat is now a gate guardian at Malmstrom Air Force Base)
