Do you remember when Six Flags Great Escape was Storytown U.S.A.? Take a look at the pictures below. These photographs and memories were captured between 1965 and 2011. Maybe you will see your family in the pictures taken at Storytown, Ghost Town and Jungle Land. If you were there you had to have your picture taken with Moby Dick.

In 1954 a guy named Charles Wood bought 5 acres of land in Queensbury, New York for $75,000 and gave the property to his wife as a gift. Years later, that property would end up selling for $36 million dollars, TWICE! Today Storytown U.S.A, is known as Six Flags Great Escape.

Some of the 'Mother Goose' themed buildings and props are still visible and in use today at The Great Escape but why not take a look back to what the park looked like from 1965 to 2011.
