Thanks for the suggestion. I've looked at Great Escape before, but the lineup didn't warrant the distance I'd have to travel. I always thought that one day I could tie Great Escape into a trip to Montreal for LaRonde. Looks like Comet just received ACE Coaster landmark status!

if you have a six flags season pass and some extra time to kill you may want to stop by the great escape and splash water kingdom. (a six flags theme park) theres only one roller coaster realy worth riding if your in a rush, but theyve got a good water park and some rides that arent worth riding except for the fact that they have a good view of the new york wildernes (ive seen pictures of wildeness everywhere elses and it basicaly looks the same but you said you liked terrain coasters so what the heck) as i said, only if you have a season pass and time to kill beacause the only good coaster there is the comet and have you heard of the crystal beach cyclone? thats the comet. they saved it from a scrap heap andreabuilt it at the great escape. its taller and faster than the cyclone at coney island, im pretty sure if it had more publicitey it would be alot higher rated. other than that its mostly a kids park but a good one at that, but still it is about 2Hrs away from NYC. then again, i did say only if you had time to kill, so do or dont but if you go, make sure to ride the comet.
