Six Flags Great Escape
The largest theme park in northern New York State, famous for its wooden roller coaster The Comet, with the Hurricane Harbor water park open in summer.
The park is located in Queensbury, about 8 km south of Lake George Village. It opened in 1954, has been operated by Six Flags since 2006, and offers roller coasters, family areas, and the Hurricane Harbor water park. Its signature attraction is The Comet, a classic wooden roller coaster dating from 1948. Lines are long on busy weekends, and tickets bought on the official website are cheaper than at the gate. Across from the park, the indoor water park at the Great Escape Lodge is open all year.
