Darn. I’ll miss it then but still eager to check out all the other park improvements (hopeful I’ll have a chance to swing by when in the area)

I get the new T-bar restraint height requirement increase. I just don't understand why the same height increase was done on Mine Trains that don't have T-bars like Fiesta's, that's where my complaint lies. They said they're expecting a June opening.

Confirmed opening April 11th:

^It's the existing Sky Roller. Legoland Germany also has one, and it was also on a future plan for Legoland Korea's Ninjago area, but so far, only the roller-coaster has been built.

What is “flying Ninjago”? is that a coaster similar to the one at Legoland UK? Or is that a different type of attraction (I’ve not been to Legoland Japan)

Wait times at the whole park already look better because of this change!

I think this will be a great addition for them!

Seriously, please stop fighting over a carousel at a six flags park. I'm not even going to read far enough back to see what this is about but don't talk about other peoples kids and everyone just move on to how dumb all the new height restrictions are.

I'm looking forwards to a visit soon. . . hopefully the Carousel will be open by the time I'm in the area next month.

Remember when we just used to argue on whether corporate hated our park? Good times. They've put some good money into the park this year, looking forward to seeing how it looks in person.

I think you need to leave your opinions about my family out of your posts.

Yes, a nice memory for you but she won't remember it. And again there are other carousels closer to where you live that you could have used. You are never going to convince me that despite claiming for a number of years now that you are mostly not that into this hobby anymore and disparaging theme park enthusiasts on a regular basis, the obsession you have with a carousel refurbishment is anything but hilarious.

Yeah but then I can't add them to my spreadsheet and see my nerd count tick up. Did you think of my nerd count?

Six Flags buying Darien Lake feels like a pipe dream at this point. I expect them to end the lease to even operate the park as soon as possible, whether there is an exit clause or they need to wait for it to expire. This is entirely speculative, of course, but I just have a hard time seeing this weird operating set up as something Six Flags wants to spend time on when they have all these parks they need to operate now. Plus, they have already making it clear they are looking to downsize on some level.

I'll take the pics, but not the life stories. I cringe at my prior reports.

Word. But, for the masses and the draw of wing riders, that will probably put it at the top of the list for quite a few people.

That's dumb. She's known what a carousel is since she was probably 2. It would have been a nice memory for us, regardless of how long it lasted. Again, you're never going to convince me the closure isn't anything but hilarious.

Jeez. We're staying at Breakers for 3 nights, which will even leave a lot of intentional downtime. I have never been to SFDL, but I imagine the park can be done in four hours, not four days.

Yeah even the big parks like CP and CW are only two day parks. If they could build the park up to something like that then the hotel will pay off. Until then it's a bit of a waste

Wait a minute, they're offering a 4-night package to Darien Lake? What are you gonna do for the other 95.5 hours you're there? Sunbathe in the farmlands?

We were there exactly 3 years ago and got stuck on the brake run of I305/Pantherian for about a half hour on the last ride of the night. There were only 4 of us on the train and the park was well closed and totally emptied out when they finally got us off. The music and atmosphere of Jungle X going out, in the dark was quite effective theming! I don't suppose they gave a date for Pantherian as opposed to just a generic "summer" opening? Curious because right now we are supposed to get ert on it for SpringCon on May 17, so thinking that may not happen. Of course those sorts of plans are always a crapshoot and there is no way in hell I can marathon Pantherian anyway, lol.

So in other words, perfect timing, because she's old enough to remember riding with you at age 5 and will form a core memory! Unlike riding at age 2 or 3 and having no memory of it and then rolling her eyes at you when she's 13 and you show her a picture of the too young to remember ride trying to remind her of how cute she was then. Congratulations on the timing.

I saw that as well but who wants a 4 night package at this point? That is like a destination park package. Currently DL is a half day park.

Lost Island has entered the chat... There are so many clones, namely SLCs, Boomerangs, and Six Flags clones in general, that I've walked right by without even looking at the wait time. Those are always afterthoughts for me in case I have extra time or I'm just reallllllly bored. Hell, I skipped half of Six Flags Mexico's lineup because there's a Dark Knight indoor mouse, a 4D Free Fly, an off the shelf spinner, a Boomerang, an SLC, maybe a couple others. Medusa and Superman were the only two coasters I genuinely cared about because they're originals. Medusa was fun but not worth the 90 minute wait while Supes was a 10-minute wait all day and is easily one of the best coasters out there; certainly Morgan's best coaster. All that to say, yes, you save a lot of time and effort by skipping mediocre clones.
