Folks in the Northeast U.S. who want to enjoy some indoor water park fun have to travel quite a distance. The nearest major resort offering year-round water slides is the recently opened Great Wolf Lodge in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. But the drought is nearly over. In a few weeks, Six Flags will be opening the Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark, its first water park resort. Located in Lake George, New York (across the street from the Great Escape theme park), the Adirondack-themed resort will be equidistant from New York City and Boston (approx. 3.5 hours) and should attract a lot of curiosity and interest from people in the region for whom indoor water parks will be a new concept. The 38,000-square-foot water park will feature Boogie Bear Surf, a FlowRider surfing attraction, the Tak-it-eesi Creek lazy river, the Tall Timbers Treehouse, an interactive water play structure with a tipping bucket, and--of course--a bunch of water slides. Its roof will allow sunshine in so that guests will be able to work on their tans, even in the winter. The full-featured resort will also offer 200 suites, a huge arcade, restaurants, and meeting facilities. I have a few photos of the indoor water park under construction.
