great escape

The Great Escape is such a fun place to visit but they have been having a tough time getting people to work. They even had to reduce their hours because of a lack of employees. They are now closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Now they are offering higher wages and bonus incentives in hopes of attracting more workers.

If I say 'Storytown U.S.A.' what comes to mind? Lake George? Ghost Town? Jungle Land? Maybe these pictures will help take you back to Storytown.

One of the coolest and most successful fundraisers in the Capital Region is getting a new location to adhere to COVID protocols. Last year, the South High Marathon Dance was one of the last events held before everything shut down. The students were able to raise over $800,000. They weren't sure if they would be able to hold this amazing event again, but they have a plan in place with help from the Great Escape.

I am getting a severe case of cabin fever and I know I'm not alone. But we got some good news about amusement parks and summer camps reopening soon in New York state. Finally, we heard from Governor Cuomo who is slowly allowing more things to open.

Six Flags, the parent company of the Great Escape, has formulated a reservation plan to manage attendance.

Social distancing restrictions have led to the announcement that Six Flags Great Escape will delay its opening for the season. The theme park has also been assisting the community in many ways during the pandemic.

It seems as if each year, Great Escape adds a new ride to outdo themselves and after some discussions with the planning board, they may be doing it again in 2020.

Last month, a devastating fire wiped out over two-hundred care packages ready to be sent as part of the Adopt A Soldier program. Now the Great Escape is stepping up to help replenish those packages and offer a discount in return.

If you are looking for a fun, scary-good job just in time for the fall, Six Flags Great Escape is looking to hire you. Here's how to apply.

Get ready for Heroes Week at Great Escape for the entire week. This is to honor all of the first responders, nurses, and military heroes while collecting supplies for our troops. Here are the details on discounts and things being collected.

I went to the Great Escape over the weekend for the first time in a long time. I still love the nostalgia of the "ghost town" part and some of the other subtle things that remain. But I was shocked to find out that one of my favorite high flying shows was replaced.
