 Six Flags The Great Escape 2014

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.
