Grew up going to this park, my mom would take me every year. First roller coaster was the Steamin Demon. I remember when the Condor was the big new attraction, as well as the Comet being installed, Black Cobra (3 hour line!), and the water park! I still go to TGE once in a while, but have outgrown the place. Hoping to take my son here to ride the Comet this summer.
Steamin demon was the first roller coaster I ever rode. I used to love spending summers at Great Escape. Gosh I remember the Comet and Boomerang being put in. Sooo many great childhood memories. I haven't been there in 10 years. Thank you for the walkthrough.
Used to live in Saratoga Springs, right down the road from Great Escape. Talk about a very family oriented park. Never was over crowded either. Even on busy days.
OMG I remember when "The Blizzard" was bright yellow on the outside and called The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour! I've had that song embedded in my mind for decades because of the ride LOL. The inside was dark and psychedelic. I loved it back in the day.
I'm going here in July on a bus trip. Reuniting with an old friend of mine, the Comet. I rode it the last day it operated at Crystal Beach in 1989. I can't believe it's been 30 years since I've ridden it. Health problems have kept me from riding big coasters, but I want to do it again. Really looking forward to my trip to Great Escape!!
i loved going ther as a kid now that im 36 years old and watching this vid i may go vist and do some rides i miss it was fun times i remember the westen show as a kid to bad its not ther anymore but fun
The dive show has been going on for over 35 years the theme changes each year or did. From pirate theme to Olympic theme over the years just to name a few and the small buildings came from art Monaco land of make believe who also did some work at the great escape as well
It has changed so much so many great memories there as a child growing up in the 80s and 90s, I miss New York and I miss. The great escape. why are so many rides not operational? I can't believe they took out the rainbow ride. I used to love that ride

Beautiful childhood memories from when it was Storytown U.S.A. and then The Great Escape.
I went here when I was about 8 years old. So many memories flooding me seeing this
I'm so glad to see that it hasn't changed too much from when I used to go there all the time in late 80s-90s. It's a beautiful park!

Wow, this place sure has changed a lot since I was there in the 80’s!

By far my favorite park
this is a really underrated park, and so is six flags new England (my 2 home parks are SFGAd and SFNE, but my main home park is SFGAd)

I have loads of fond memories of The Great Escape; it holds a special place in my heart.

Awesome Jay!
Also, I've been on the timbertown trail during timbertown. It was just a simple walkthrough, but it had a few cool bridges
Wow! I remember it a little differently because it was probably 25 years ago since I've been there, but thank you for the trip down memory lane!
