Storytown U.S.A. is alive and well in Lake George, well kinda. Some of the buildings, features and props from the faded amusement park are still there and getting a makeover! New paint and repairs to keep our memories alive.

In 2023 Storytown U.S.A. is known as Six Flag Great Escape and the off-season crew are hard at work getting the park ready to open this Summer. When you return to this version of the amusement park you will be on the same property as the original and you will see some familiar "Mother Goose" sights, shiny and bright.
