wow, I guess my friends and myself dodged that by just a day. we went last Friday for the first time and the only coaster that wasn't open was Flying ACE Aerial Chase

There was Flashpass in the Six Flags day, it was rarely used but they had it

well if it's a 5 minute wait then there is not sense putting wear on a second train, if it is a 30 or 40 minute wait then there should be a second train

Either last year or the year before they had shipwreck falls down for rehab during the season

UFO is supposed to come back, last I knew it was just in rehab. Darien lake is having a nasty habit of doing rehabs during the season instead of offseason. Have they gotten second trains on coasters yet this year?

My friend's uncle is Scott Thomas, he is a really cool guy and it looks like Cartoon Network and Legoland did a great job. I'm actually gonna see Scott in a couple weeks at Comi Con SD

SO why not dress up as a spokesperson for six flags? I hope to please

I was gonna enter. I actually completed but I haven't played rct2 in forever and could figure what file was supposed to be uploaded and such. I still had tons of fun playing.

Yeah, they might as well sell that coaster for scrap. Th pole in fun lake really isn't worth the time. I think a drop tower would be fantastic for the park. maybe put it over by Mind Eraser?

I saw the in the RoS gift shop but I'm sure they are available other place in the park. Also topper track would be a waste Tey should just get a GCI or something to replace it

Saturday April 18th was my first trip to the park since 2009. I only live an hour away but I just hadn't got a chance to go till now. I got to the park just before opening and was able to take part in the mad dash to RoS. It wasn't open till like 10 minutes after the park was open. I made it on the first train and it ran okay. Wasn't my best ride ever on it. I was with some friends who don't like roller coasters as much so I only got on every coaster once and Ros 3 times. I rode couple of flats, all were running decent. This was also my first trip riding Predator with the voyage trains. They were an improvement and I got little bit of airtime in the back, but still a ride that could be replaced. Viper was painted all black so that was new for me. It rode alright. Continuing with new paint job Boomerang had one and it rode decent today. Not too much head banging. The Motocoaster was closed half the day but it opened in the afternoon and it seemed little faster today. Ran pretty good. The last coaster, minderaser... I forgot how it was, my mind went blank after the ride... just kidding It actuality wasn't one of my better rides on it. not too rough. I also checked out Sea Lion Splash. No sea world show for sure but for a small park it was really good. They even had a photo opportunity at the end of the show that was reasonably priced (most expensive package $25) IT was hot so we went to the waterpark. It was my first time since the addition and the slide with the mini tornados in it was actually pretty good. The bad part was the system for tube was confusing. there are 4 slides in the complex and you have to have a certain color for each. waiting to get the tubes required you to wait in one of two lines where you got a random tube color. It made little sense but we eventually figured it out sorta. We finished off the day with 2 rides on Ros. The quality was night and day from morning to the afternoon. The ride was so much faster and the airtime was better. Quick tip, this is one of those rides where the second row usually has the shortest wait. Go right to it and it usually is a walk-on. We left at 9 and overall a great day at the park. Oh and btw, the old batman track is still there for anyone wondering. The running of the bulls to Ride of Steel The line before RoS opened This is where the magic happens... Artsy shot attempt of Predator's exit I noticed a new rapid ride system has been put in. $15 for 5 front of the line passes to any ride. Seems very reasonable to me. The "newish" trains in the brakerun It is a very good looking ride, too bad it doesn't ride like that... more sexy shots RoS broke down mid-day and had an empty train stuck on the lift. The Biggest Ferris Wheel... When it opened Que back in Black here not a very good shot but the new RoS shirts look liked they had pictures of No limits coasters on it The new viper shirt was awesome. Thats it of my pictures, didn't take too many. Thanks for reading.

I just wanted to say been a long time reader and I always love reading all your updates. Please keep them coming!

worst line ever was probably back when six flags owned darien lake and there were 2+ hour waits on RoS with 2 trains running

I don't think we'll see floodgate falls ever reopen. I'm taking a trip tomorrow to the park with some friends. Anyone else going? I'll hopefully post a TP when I get back

The Phoenix at Knoebels

Rob- Silver comet it a alright ride at best. Rode it back in august and while a fun and bearable ride, nothing much in terms of airtime, some decent lateral forces, but other then that a alright coaster. I rode it probably like 10 time because there's not much else in the park and after that many rides I was beat. As far as Predator goes I didn't get a chance to get out and ride the new trains, but the last time I rode back in 2009 DAMN it was rough. would just like them to build a new gci on the spot or somewhere else in the park. They need a decent woodie there.

TEAR IT DOWN NOW!!!!!!!!! It's just an adult taxi jam!!! ;P

in terms peirs would understand, It's sounds jolly jolly jolly

it seems that six flags has decided to bring in more European rides that normally aren't seen is such big parks cause of capacity. Euro fighter, now this?

I didn't know that SFNE and great adventure both had this ride. when i first saw it I was thinking it was great adventure and saying to myself, "didn't they just cut the fire service?"

I just heard that the big dipper has been set on fire. So the prince ain't gonna be happy

The wonderful thing about America is if you feel like buying a wooden roller coaster, you can. I bet the speculation is coming from some of the same people who wanted to save the blue streak

I'd love to see some innovative new rides come out from this. Maybe some new flat that'll become a standard in most parks

the very same one, coasterradio's facebook asked me to vote for him like a week ago, but I did think this video was awesome too!

no offense, I had to vote for EB's son
