The story
The resort opened to the public on February 7, 2006, as the resort for The Great Escape theme park. It features 200 rooms and a 38,000 square foot water park which was previously called White Water Bay, with constant 80 degree water temperatures. The water park is open year-round.
Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark was the second resort Six Flags built, the first being Lodge on the Lake next to Six Flags Darien Lake.
In November 2012, the resort announced an annual event, Holiday in the Lodge, to celebrate Christmas.
The resort was sold in April 2026 alongside the adjacent Great Escape, with Enchanted Parks becoming its new operator. The resort is simply referred to as Great Escape Lodge, dropping the Six Flags branding.
