The Comet is all the way in the back of the park behind The Great
Escape's water park as that was the only place where they could fit the
structure in. The last time I visited there was nothing back by The
Comet. The Extreme Supernova is a new addition to The Great Escape.
I like larger rides like this but little ones like this spin a bit too fast
for what I am able take.
On our way back out of the park we made sure to stop by the Alpine Bobsled
to see if it was up and running yet. One look was all it took to see
that yet again I would not be able to ride it at The Great Escape.
The building for the Blizzard looks totally cheesy but I absolutely love
it. The Blizzard is an enclosed Scrambler that has lights and sound
effects to give you a freezing white out even during the warmest days of
summer.
Any ride that takes me somewhere at a nice relaxed pace and gives me the
chance to sit down is a favorite of mine.
The Sky Ride takes you across the Storytown and International Village sections
of The Great Escape. It gives me a chance to get off of my feet but
more importantly it is one of the rare rides that I can take with my wife.
