THE GREAT ESCAPE & Splashwater Kingdom
Lake George, New York
Six Flags Theme Parks
Park News - (7/27/2024) Six Flags has brought on Socrates Imaging to install an interesting new feature to The Bobcat wooden coaster at The Great Escape. Socrates worked with Gravity Group to install “The Rabbit” on-ride video capture system to the trains, which captures HD footage of the riders experience during the entire ride, and allowed them to purchase the personalized video of their ride via a simple QR code link.
The concept of on-ride cameras isn’t new, but it does very much fill a need in today’s social-media driven world, allowing guests the ability to obtain a video shot on professional equipment of their ride, without the need for the dangerous (and typically banned) practice of using their own cell-phones to do it. You can see a great sample video taken from The Bobcat posted here.
(5/27/2024) There has been some fuss over the fact that starting in late June, Six Flags over Texas will close the entire park each week on Tuesdays for the entire Summer. This is a bit of a surprise to the local market, as this is also the original Six Flags theme park that started the chain. Naturally guests in other markers have been concerned about their own parks making similar changed to their operational schedules.
Going through the posted calendars for all the parks on the Six Flags website, I’ve only been able to find the following items of interest.
Six Flags / The Great Escape will get off to the slow start to the summer with the park closed on most Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in June, then move to a daily schedule starting June 19 for the remainder of the summer.
2025 - Nothing is expected to be added at this time...
