The Lake George area of New York is a great place to visit, and The Great Escape amusement park offers families even more fun on their vacation. The Comet, one of the park's coasters, is consistently ranked among the top ten in the country by roller coaster fans. Built in the 1940's, this famous wooden roller coaster was located in the Crystal Beach park until it closed. It was moved to Lake George, and has been wowing riders with its twists and fast track ever since. In addition to The Comet, visitors will also enjoy the Steamin' Demon, a steel track corkscrew coaster moved here from New Orleans, whitewater rafting on Raging River, and the Desperado Plunge log flume ride.
What's New: Nightmare At Crack Axle Canyon - A monstrous, six-story, 16,000-square-foot coaster that sends riders plunging, soaring, twisting and turning through the darkness of a lost mine. Nothing compares to the thrill of a coaster in the dark. Fright Fest - Spend the evening with witches, goblins and ghouls every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night in October. You'll mingle with the living-dead. Join in the wicked-good fun and enjoy our daytime trick-or-treat trail, haunted house and more. Go-Kart Track - Single and double NASCAR-style cars themed for different NASCAR drivers. Race around a 1200-square-foot track with wicked twists and turns!
