Our All-Time Favorite Rides and Attractions at the Great Escape [RANKED]

These are Our All-Time Favorite Rides and Attractions at the Great Escape.  Did Yours Make the List?

As Winter slowly winds down its chilly grip on Upstate, New York, quickly we turn our attention to warmer days, longer nights, and weekend trips (starting in late May) to Lake George to check out the Great Escape.

When Storytown USA became the Great Escape in 1982, the park really took off - adding exciting rides and attractions that took it to the next level.

As a kid, we didn't travel much. We did do a lot of day trips up to Storytown and what is now known as the Great Escape and Hurricane Harbor. For me, this place oozes nostalgia and as I think back to my childhood, I'm so thankful I was the 80s and 90s kid.

Great Escape Tears Down Giant Wheel After 30 Nostalgic Years

Things were simpler back then, and technology didn't take over our lives. In those days, getting a Great Escape bumper sticker on your car was actually a big deal. A lot has changed at the Great Escape over the years, but thankfully, some things have stayed the same.

Here's my personal ranking of what I think are the Great Escape's best attractions.

Much of this is based purely on nostalgia and my own personal memories. But even if you disagree with the actual ranking, I think you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane.
