Six Flags Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom Lake George

I have been to the Great Escape every summer for the last ten years. It has always been an old-fashioned amusement park with a water park attached. My kids grew up there, and I have a soft spot in my heart for it. It was always a little less high-tech than other parks. A few years ago, Six Flags bought it, but, until this year, did little to change it. This year, Six Flags built a hotel with indoor water park, built fences around the dirt parking lots, black-topped them, and now charges for parking. They also built another hotel alongside it. I guess they are trying to upgrade it (including the admission price). They have added a whole Loony Tune section, and you can have brunch with Goofy, etc. I don't think, personally, that this bodes well for the future, but I guess to some people this is a great improvement. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area with kids. more

A little smaller than other six flags parks, this one still has a couple fun attractions. What I like about it is it still has the old park feeling, and very kid friendly. They have these little houses for kids to walk around in wish are very fun. The water park is nice and clean, and there is not too long of a wait. They are expanding every year, and hopefully soon they will get a large roller coaster for the older people who attend more
