Six Flags Great Escape

Six Flags Great Escape & Hurricane Harbor has over 135 rides and attractions, with something for the whole family.

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.

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.
