Celebrate Summer at Six Flags Great Escape & Hurricane Harbor

One of America’s favorite and most historic theme parks is nestled in the heart of the Adirondacks, a region brimming with history and natural beauty. Six Flags Great Escape & Hurricane Harbor originally opened its gates in Queensbury, NY on June 27, 1954, as Storytown USA.

The Great Escape is Exhilarating!

Six Flags Great Escape & Hurricane Harbor has over 135 rides and attractions, with something for the whole family. Don’t miss The Comet, a world famous coaster, the new Adirondack Outlaw, one of the park’s top thrill rides, or take the plunge on the 192-foot drop tower, Sasquatch. For fun in the sun, you can’t beat their premier outdoor water park, Hurricane Harbor. It will immerse guests in a tropical paradise for a guaranteed splashing good time with family-friendly water rides like Bucket Blasters and Shipwreck Cove. With a reason to visit every season, you will not want to miss Coca-Cola July 4th Fest with nightly fireworks and Upstate New York’s largest haunt event, Fright Fest weekends in October. The park is open May through October; operating dates and hours vary.

More than Just Rides and Slides

Paying tribute to founder Charles R. Wood, the newly renovated western sports bar named Charley’s Saloon captures the history of Dan McGrew’s, Ghost Town’s original Wild West Saloon that opened in 1957. The area was originally created as a place where fathers and sons could enjoy a “root” beer together. Staying true to its intent, this season the bar will feature a Wild West theme, photos, and historical information about the park and the park’s founder, as well as a uniquely designed menu featuring snack and sandwich items, signature drinks, and various beers.
