^That was probably the idea, but I think capacity had more to do with it. I think the only reason it doesn't run in high winds is because the pods are so much closer together than conventional star-flyers... therefore it is easier for pods to collide.

^Mean Streak, then I could walk over to maverick afterwards. Would you rather lose your hand, or your foot.

Yes, Only when I'm drinking Sun Drop... Do you drink Sun Drop?

ERT, I'm under 21 and not a huge fan of beer anyway. Would you rather ride Dragster in the rain, or Jr. Gemini in the sun?

^Launch Boost? I've never been an operator, but that intrigues me. How much does it "boost" the train by?

^Pethaps something went wrong with the plane/glider. It appears to be an ultra-lite and perhaps a sting gust of wind blew it into the wheel.

^While the coaster selection isn't spectacular... There are a few gems. RoS is always a pretty great ride especially in the front and back. Boomerang isn't particularly painful. And Viper, aside from the Batwing, doesn't rattle your head too much. I agree we have some decent flat rides, my favorites being UFO, Twister, & Silver bullet.

I agree. Not sure what Zamperla was thinking there. The Motocoaster at Darien Lake is actually a re-location of sorts. The coaster is actually the prototype set up at Zamperla's plant in Italy and then sold to Darien Lake, so I don't think Darien Lake had a say in color selection.

I know that this is almost two months old, I have just been busy... But I feel now is as good of time as ever to post this TR. Especially because those of you going on LeviaTHON will be visiting Darien Lake. We got to the park around 11 because my sister can't get up early, no matter what. It was my sister, her friend, my friend Alissa, and I. Lines were relatively short, had a lot of walk-ons. In fact, we were so busy riding that I struggled not to slow down the group with my picture-taking. Alas, I had brought the camera so might as well use it. Enjoy. On our way in, mind eraser to the right. Splashtown to the left. "Come on Doug, we're not all nerds like you." - Alissa Darien Lake can look very nice, at times. Not the nicest theming, but for the most part nice to look at. First up, we hit the park's wave swinger. Appropriately named lasso. Next up, Boomerang. Unlike other Vekoma Bomerangs... I didn't find it to be too rough. Next up on our first lap around the park, OCC Motocoaster. The first couple seconds of this ride is pretty cool. Then it's kinda... meh, but fun. Happy riders! Next up, it was The Twister. a.k.a. The Sterilizer. Next up, Viper. The first coaster with 5 inversions. On the way there, I noticed these. I was going to take one to scan at home, but didn't want to take one away from someone who would possibly need it. The oldest, and today the best coaster in the park. R.I.P Ron Toomer. Through the loop! After viper, one of my favorites. The Huss Ranger. The lap bars are surprisingly comfortable, although they do have to staple you to the seat. Next, we stopped in and played fascination. 10 minutes and 4 dollars later I had a small Angry Bird. If you have a small child, you can get this credit. Next up... The Ouch! Ouch! Owweee! Coaster Why do I do this to myself? Happy Riders? It looks so pretty for the queue. Oh, wait... is this Mind Eraser, or Parking Lot: The Ride. Minds about to be Erased. Minds Being Erased. Next up, Big Wheel. Fun fact, this Ferris wheel was originally showcased at the 1982 World's Fair. Boomerang across the Lake. OCC Moto, about to launch. OCC Moto, about to... "meh." RoS: "I'm stuck, please let me down!" But more of that later. Predator running the trains it picked up from Holiday World, hopefully the Voyage gets its timberliners soon. The new trains almost make the ride bearable... almost. Boomerang, doin' its thang. 'Cuda falls, re-painted during the Splashtown Expansion last year. Viper, exiting its tunnel. I recommend that EVERYONE does a skycoaster at least once a year. You'll know why once you do it. So long, big wheel. Ok, now to address this. When I was there, the train was still stuck on the lift. Something is missing here... This is one of the cranes, or lifts. A couple more shots of Predator This hill jostles you a LOT! The plants have definitely improved in the last couple years. Above the trees! My sister and her friend wanted to take a quick ride on Shipwreck falls before it closed for the day. Down they go! Still, my favorite water ride has to be the log flume. The kiddy area is the best landscaped part of the park. And I leave you with this, hmmm... what's that still doing there?

No, gawd no. Do you eat fast food more than "slow" food?

Stuck on Dragster, I would LOVE to be stuck on Dragster. Would you rather wait in a long line for your favorite coaster, or wait in a long line for the bathroom.

I thought Blue Streak was a enjoyable ride. I also loved the one train wait I always have in it. People just pass it buy, it defiantly is underrated. Good for us I guess.

I'm jumping on the GCI bandwagon, a boardwalk woodie would be perfect. I hope the next coaster isn't a steelie. Cedar Point is kinda due for a good wood coaster.

Today we watched a old movie in my drugs and society class about adrenalin... And they showed revolution at SFMM.

I'm not sure a double station would be the greatest idea. The train will be traveling near its top speed as it launches through the station, then again as it returns. Would it be ok for a train to be traveling that fast on a transfer track? I don't think that it would be particularly dangerous, but it is something to consider.

I want to be a Lego soldier for Halloween now. Googling instructtion on how to make the costume now. edit: found this, instructions in video description.

^So, killer whales get better seating on planes than I do...

How exactly do they transport a whale?..

They're not videos, they are screengrabs.

The interface worked just fine for me. Yeah, the movement was a bit glitchy but it only took me a few seconds to figure it out. Maybe we just had a bad session, but the camera didn't move at all. We spent the entire time trying to get any movement out of it. It couldn't have been a bandwidth issue because we were on a college campus with it's own T4 line... eh, whatever. I hope everyone else had fun playing. :

My teacher played in in front of class, and the interface didn't even appear to work... I guess I got my hopes up.

My browser crashed at 62, and now I can't get back in line. Anybody else having problems?

I'm in my flash production class right now and I showed this to my teacher. We are now abandoning the lesson and talking about dip-a-drip. edit: ^robb, I have the feed with the girl too. They might switch characters out periodically.

I'm guessing Screamin' Squirrel at Mysterious Island, China. http://rcdb.com/3465.htm?p=16039
