10th Anniversary: Houdini re-haunts Six Flags
Ten years ago today I reported on the reopening of "Houdini’s Great Escape" at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. The popular ride is set inside an imaginative version of 278 and had been non operational for two years.
TEN YEAR UPDATE Happily, "Houdini’s Great Escape" is still in operation at Six Flags Great Adventure, although the park itself is temporarily closed due to Covid-19. There is also a "Houdini's Great Escape" at Six Flags New England set inside a haunted Opera House. I love that Houdini lives in these popular attractions and I wonder how many children get their first exposure to the Houdini story this way.
