Outer Tube

Six Flags Great Escape Lodge Indoor Water Park in Lake George, New York

To make the most use of the indoor space, the Glacier Run and Snow Shoe Falls tube rides, as well as the Avalanche family raft ride, sends guests into enclosed tubes that snake outside the building. Because they begin and end inside the temperature-controlled park, riders stay toasty warm, even when the mercury dips below freezing. At night, riders have a completely disorienting in-the-dark ride. During daylight hours, a bit of light does penetrate the mostly opaque tubes.
