This legendary fast food joint first opened in 1959 and was sold last year after the previous owner ran it for forty-four years. The new owner has renovated the restaurant and is now re-opened.
Growing up in the Capital Region in the 1980s, it was fun to travel up the Northway and spend the day at The Great Escape Amusement Park (formerly Storytown). We couldn't wait to get there and travel through Ghost Town and become a deputy with Marshal Wild Windy Bill McKay. But one of the highlights of the day was the death-defying high dive act.
From old school classics to modern thrills, there's something for everyone at the Great Escape, and these are some of our all-time favorites! Which is yours?
