Opened as
Storytown, USA in 1954, Charles Wood took his park past the original Mother Goose theme when it became
The Great Escape Fun Park in 1983. The
Splashwater Kingdom water park was added in 1994. Wood sold the park to
Six Flags in 1996.
The main sttraction is identified as The Comet, an ACE Roller Coaster Landmark.
In February 2006, The Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark opened to positive reviews and sold out weekends. This major addition includes a 38,000-square-foot (3,500 m2) water park exclusively for lodge guests.
