We opted to share a Pulled Pork Sandwich with fries ($11.99) and a German Burger ($12.99) with fries.
Since we were in Fest Area, we chose to eat at the Alpine Fest Haus. Even at a later time, this place was pretty crowded. It was scheduled to open in July, but wasn’t yet running during our visit.Īround 2 PM we started to get hungry and decided to eat lunch. I was really looking forward to trying out Acrophobia VR, the park’s newest ride. Her upbeat attitude really helped “make” the ride. Sassy, the ride operator, cheered the riders on: “Great bump #10!” and helping those who were “stuck”, directing them to turn their steering wheel. One of my favorite rides was Marshal’s Stampede, the bumper car ride. I have to say that Great Escape has some of the most fun ride operators that I’ve seen at an amusement park. My daughter, a fellow coaster lover, chose Steamin’ Demon, a multi-loop coaster pictured in the title photo of this post, as her favorite ride. My son loved riding all of the roller coasters and Flashback, a forward and backward looping coaster, was his favorite ride of the day. There are rides for everyone with Timbertown and Kidzopolis geared towards little kids and more than five roller coasters for thrill seekers. Great Escape is truly a family-friendly amusement park. None of the ride lines were exceptionally long. Great Escape was formerly Storytown USA, and many of the historic icons are still in the park, including Cinderella’s Castle and the Pink Whale.Įven on a hot summer day, the park was crowded but didn’t feel especially so. There are eight different areas in the park, including water park Splashwater Kingdom and International Village, the main shopping area. From the parking lot, it’s a short walk over a street overpass to get to the amusement park. When we arrived near the 10:30 AM opening, I was surprised to discover that it would cost us $20 to park, which I found to be a bit on the expensive side. It was a beautiful day for us to visit the park. The park is an approximately 2 1/2 to three hour drive from my house in northern Westchester County. is the largest amusement park company in the world and Six Flags Great Escape is their only New York theme park. Summer isn’t complete for me without a visit to an amusement park! On our recent trip upstate, we surprised the kids with a visit to Six Flags Great Escape.
