Oh Boy! if anyone has any info please share! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=402382543108916&set=a.402382286442275.110641.159151417432031&type=3&theater Edited by greatescapelover, Mar 14 2012, 06:03 PM.

TGE wiki from wiki ....Water flume ride where passengers ride in boats modeled on logs. Relocated from Busch Gardens Los Angeles after it closed in 1979 [1][2]. Was known for a while as the Poland Springs Plunge. also from 1974 here is a photo of the despo at Busch gardens in february...so the ride must be older than that! click these words for photo ------> Despo at bush gardens more fun... ------> click here rides charlie woods brought to TGE at the bottom of the page you see photos of the sky ride cars they had out during fright fest that we all didnt know where they came from. The Skyride was purchased by Charlie Woods, former owner of The Great Escape (formerly Storytown, USA) in Lake George, NY. The ride was dismantled by O.D. Hopkins Associates, Inc., Contoocook, NH and shipped to Lake George where it was put in storage for over 25 years. Edited by moston1, Mar 15 2012, 07:45 PM.
