Waterpark in the Winter

      Summer is alive and well at the new Six Flas Great Escape Lodge and Indoor Waterpark.  It is perfect to swim, slide, and splash around in the tropical 80 degree water.

      This new hotel and waterpark is located in Lake George right across the street from the Great Escape.  In order to go to the waterpark though, you must be a guest at the hotel.  Other attractions in the Lodge include big rooms, a spa and fitness center, and mulitple restaurants to dine in.

      I think that this hotel and waterpark was an excellent idea.  Because we live in the northeast and usually see a lot of cold weather and snow, it is nice to know that for a few days, you are able to get away from it all and experience summer.

      From the business aspect, many new jobs were created, and the location is perfect.  Most tourists travel through Lake George in the summer time, however now there is a reason to swing through in the winter season.  The $43 million dollar business is four stories high with 200 guest rooms.  They also plan to build a $2 million bridge that crosses route 9, connecting the Great Escape to the new Lodge.

        The opening of the new Lodge and Indoor Waterpark was on Tuesday.  Many different media sources attended the event.  Here are some links to other stories.  http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=448334&category=BUSINESS&BCCode=&newsdate=2/8/2006
