The Canyon Blaster Roller Coaster At The Great Escape, Lake George, New York

Just ignore this big building behind Canyon Blaster. It's just a Schwarzkopf designed Jet Star coaster that's in the dark. Unfortunately is is standing but not operating because it's capacity is not the greatest and from what I've heard the park decided it was easier close it instead of dealing with all of the complaints from it's extremely long and non moving line.

Steamin' Demon was up next.

Steamin' Demon was one of the first big ride added to The Great Escape in order to transform the park into more than just a kids park. It's placed on the hill right by the front of the park as to draw drivers on the highway on in. I know I had a hard time looking at the road with a coaster looming overhead. Thankfully I wasn't driving.

Here are the guys all lined up for the Steamin' Demon.

Actually Corey, Ken and Paul weren't originally going to The Great Escape with Kevin and I. The three of them were going to stay at Six Flags New England and then go on to Knoebel's the next day. Paul had been to The Great Escape before but Ken and Cory had not. The two of them knew Kevin and I were going but Paul didn't want to. So they turned to me to add a little peer pressure for them.

I just appealed to Paul's charitable side saying that he needed to take pity on those enthusiasts less fortunate than him who don't have his expansive ride count. The emotional appeal worked so the three of them joined us for an awesome evening at The Great Escape.
