Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:50:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mfholly - Great Escape has really lost it's old title of "Great Mistake" but Six Flags needs to invest some money into Splashwater Kingdom and other sections. Many of the rides are worn looking and the water park has areas that look that way also. The wave pool...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rubyweapon8503 - Our day at Six Flags Great Escape was probably not ideal, but we managed to have fun anyway.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mxw65 - I live about 60 miles south of Great Adventure, but greatly prefer the Great Escape, which is about 320 miles North of me. We vacation in Lake George, and buy a season pass each year (2 visits it pays for itself). GE is a smaller, friendlier, more...
