Great Escape, Amusement park in Queensbury, New York, United States
The Great Escape spans 351 acres with 35 rides, including roller coasters, family attractions, and a water park section called Hurricane Harbor.
Originally established in 1954 as Storytown USA with a Mother Goose theme, the park transformed into The Great Escape in 1983 and joined Six Flags in 1996.
The park maintains several themed sections, including a Bavarian-inspired Fest Area and Hot Rod USA, reflecting different aspects of American entertainment.
Visitors can access both the main amusement park and Hurricane Harbor water attractions with a single admission ticket throughout the operating season.
The Comet roller coaster, relocated from Crystal Beach Park in 1994, represents one of North America's notable wooden roller coaster designs.
