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.

Ditto for me! My concise trip reports are much more about laziness on my part than aversion to a more detailed report, lol. -
I enjoy the long, well written TRs loaded with pics that many used to post and a select few still post. But I don't have the time and patience to do all that myself lol. I do take pics sometimes! -
A couple years ago I went to SFOG for the first time (and it's not a place I'll probably get to very often)...I waited over an hour for Superman just to get the credit because they were running 1 train with terrible dispatch times. I could've ridden Twisted Cyclone or Goliath 6 or 7 more times during that timeframe, but I waited an hour for a credit that I can ride at Great Adventure whenever I want (and never do when I'm actually there because it sucks). Ever since then I decided riding anything just for the sake of a credit will never be worth waiting an hour for, especially in parks that I'm making a special trip to get to that I might not get to again. I like trying to ride everything once if I can, but if it's going to be an obvious waste of time then it's not worth it that much to me. As for kiddie coasters...there have been times when I decided to be an idiot and whore them for no reason other than the credit. Hell I just rode Lil Devil at Great Adventure last year lol. But again, not doing it for the sake of a credit at a park I might never get back to that has awesome coasters that I want rerides on.

As of today, Fantasy Springs will allow people to line up for the rides without the need for standby passes. I kind of hope this means the recent culture of everyone standing around frantically tapping screens will disappear again, always seemed a shame to be in one of the most beautiful parks and people too busy refreshing their screens throughout the day to fully enjoy it. -
I saw lots of ads recently for SFDL lodging. I really like the new lodge logo for the hotel and campground. If this is any indication, SF may be trying to market SFDL as a true resort, which would also mean they meed more and better rides/coasters. I really wonder if SF may buy DL from EPR and do something good. I doubt it but it's a thought
