New Restaurant To Upstate NY Opening At Great Escape Lodge

Johnny Rockets announced it was permanently closing its location outside of Six Flags Great Escape Lodge in January and promised new and exciting plans for the space. We now know which restaurant will be moving in.

Johnny Rockets moved into the Great Escape Indoor Lodge space in 2008. At the time it took over for Trappers Adirondack Grille. Johnny Rockets operated this location for fifteen years until it closed down in 2023.

What Restaurant Is Replacing Johnny Rockets?

A chain restaurant called Hurricane Grill & Wings will be moving into the Johnny Rockets space. The actual restaurant will be knocked down to rebuild the new one.

According to The Sun, Rebecca Wood, President of Six Flags Great Escape Resort, said,

We are incredibly excited to introduce this new dining experience to both guests of the hotel as well as the entire community. And honestly, who wouldn't be pumped? It's like having a flavor fiesta right at your doorstep!
