Much too small for the price..been to many other Six Flags, this just not worth it. High food prices and pay to park? This is not Orlando!

There are a lot of attractions within the park, but plan to spend hundreds on admission, food and drink. They should stop adding new rides every couple of months and focus on maintaining the value for families.

Our family enjoyed the park alot. We can not wait to come back. We were actually talking about it this morning.

Great escape is a fun place to spend a day. It does not compare to other six flags and is kind of over priced for what you get but it has some fun rides and is only place around for roller coasters. I get the seasons pass and try to make it down to Mass. A few times a year.

The park is a bit on the small side BUT the water park is included in the admission price. The food and beverages are outrageously expensive. We brought our own food and ate in the car and returned to the park. They will stamp your hand so you can be re-admitted.

The Great Escape is ok, but you need the season pass. The pass is $70, and it is for unlimited visits…that makes it a fair price. A one day ticket is around $37, way too much for what you get. The last three years or so they charge around $10 for parking...that is crazy...

We visited during FrightFest and as usual always have a good time. My family of 6 have been season pass holders for quite a few years now. Always a clean and fun time!
