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. -

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. 😘
