I'm really not sure what this castle with a track around the moat
is used for; maybe goose races, but it is another remnant of the old Storytown
U.S.A. that Six Flags has left at The Great Escape.
The aptly named Screaming Eagles ride is a new addition to The Great Escape.
I love Flying Scooters rides but there is a little bit of the fun engineered
out of modern models like this. We were to visit the ultimate Flying
Scooters at Knoebels
in a few days so we passed this one by for other rides.
The Great Escape's kids ride area is known as Timber Town. It used
to go by the generic Six Flags Looney Tunes National Park name but wisely
Six Flags decided to remove the costumed characters and just go with a theme
that fits the wooded area of The Great Escape.
Inside of Timber Town is where you will find a coaster perfect for the smallest
coaster enthusiasts but big enough where you might find a train load of
enthusiasts on it like May Rinert who was at The Great Escape for an event
that The Escape was having for the American
Coaster Enthusiasts that day.
Skillet food is pure heaven. PLEASE Six Flags you NEED to add a Skillet
Marketplace to each and every one of your parks. I love skillet food
so much my plans are for my dream house to have a huge skillet in the middle
of my kitchen. It'd be perfect for skillet food, pancakes, fajitas,
hibachi and about a billion other dishes. Just thinking about it I
am so hungry right now.
