A busy amusement park packed with thrilling rides has unveiled its new wooden rollercoaster.
Six Flags Great Escape sets itself apart from other locations in the theme park franchise with its Adirondack-themed lodges and massive indoor water park.
Located in Queensbury, New York, about 60 miles north of Albany, the amusement park is owned and operated by Six Flags.
The place is full of rides for children and adults that the whole family can enjoy on their mini vacation.
THE LYNX BEGINS
The park is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, and thrill-seekers can now enjoy its newest attraction: The lynx.
It replaced Six Flags Great Escape’s former Alpine Bobsled roller coaster.
The attraction is the first wooden roller coaster in New York since 1999 and the park’s first roller coaster since 2003, according to the site.
It was manufactured by The Gravity Group and released in May 2024, at the start of the season.
It is a moderate “excitement level”, without loops, but has “tighter curves”.
Riders are launched 55 feet into the air with turns reaching 40 miles per hour.
It is a traditional seated ride with a lap bar on your legs.
You must be at least 42 inches tall to ride with a “responsible person” and 48 inches to ride alone.
The park is open until 8pm on Fridays and 9pm on Saturdays until August 24th.
Add the amusement park to your summer itinerary if you’re looking for a thrilling night out.

A traditional room costs around $300 per night, while a suite can range from $600 to around $700 per night.
INDOOR ADVENTURES
If you’re looking for a way to cool off in the summer heat, take a trip to the indoor water park, White Water Bay.
Parents or anyone over the age of 18 can relax and unwind in the Soakum Spring hot tub.
Surf a tube on the Tak-It-Eesi-Creek, a lazy canal, or ride the four-person raft ride, Avalanche.
If you want to get wet, run over to the Tall Timbers Treehouse to dive into waterfalls and mini slides and splash with a giant water bucket.
