Great Escape

Great Escape by Enchanted Parks, also known as Great Escape Resort, is an amusement and water park located in Queensbury, New York. Operated by Enchanted Parks, the park features 34 attractions, a water park named Hurricane Harbor, and a hotel named Great Escape Lodge. The park originally opened in

1954 as Storytown USA. It was acquired by Premier Parks (later Six Flags) in 1996 and adopted the Six Flags brand in 2019 when it was renamed Six Flags Great Escape and Hurricane Harbor. Six Flags sold the park to EPR Properties in April 2026, and will continue to operate under the Six Flags name through the 2026 season. The rights to the Six Flags naming license will expire at the start of the 2027 season, at which point the park will be officially renamed Great Escape by Enchanted Parks.
