SharkTums Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Hey everyone! On the TPR North East Trip 2011 we saw the Google Street View bike mapping out The Great Escape. After hearing that Google had uploaded thousands of more street view miles I decided to check and see if The Great Escape had been added and it sure has! I don't have a ton of time, so feel free to explore more around the park and see if you can spot any TPR Peeps! EDIT: Here is the link to Great Escape on Google Street View. See if you can roam around the park and find more TPR people! If you can, post a screen shot here! https://maps.google.com/maps?q=The+Great+Escape,+Six+Flags+Drive,+Queensbury,+NY&hl=en&ll=43.349376,-73.690399&spn=0.00293,0.006968&sll=27.698638,-83.804601&sspn=14.502589,28.54248&oq=the+great+escape,+ny&hq=The+Great+Escape,+Six+Flags+Drive,+Queensbury,+NY&radius=15000&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=43.349355,-73.690445&panoid=Sl7Iz7RqUTFJPhV51LA79A&cbp=12,115.81023899999991,,0,0&source=gplus-ogsb Robb and Kristen followed the guy for quite some time! I see some familiar people waiting for the Boomerang...and Ice Bat! I thought this one was funny with Jake taking a picture of the Google guy and Robb and Kristen in the same frame. And here's what the guy and vehicle look like. He was really nice and friendly and answered our questions.

SoCalCoasters Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 There seems to be quite a few TPR folk over by the entrance of Canyon Blaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Clinksalot Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Isn't it an invasion of privacy that they didn't blur out Ice Bat's face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I was wondering how long it would be before this park got added. I remember seeing that guy riding around the park. In fact, I remember the exact point where we saw him, so I went there and... There we are. Add 7 TPR members to the count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveRides Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yay, you haven't lived until you're on Google Street View! That was fun seeing the little bike while we were at the park. It's cool that a bunch of us ended up showing up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traincrossin Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Ahhh, this brings back so many great memories from the North East trip! I remember seeing the Google bike and was wondering when they'd upload the street view. You can see my brother and I in the spot I took the above picture, we were walking next to the bike for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Found me in the striped shirt with green hat waiting in line for pain and back re-alignment. Tons of others there as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skycoastin Steve Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Wasn't Great Escape the Boomerang that had the ride op that sounded like Borat? There were so many boomerangs on that trip it's hard to remember, but I think that was the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
