Weird Coaster Facts
DarienLaker replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
People think that Darien Lake's first coaster was Viper, but that's not their first coaster was a kiddie Zierer oval coaster called Ladybug in 1981. Viper opened a year later. -

Great Canadian Scream Machine and Six Flags bought Point Pelee Pier shortly after the coaster was added to the park. Point Pelee Pier was renamed Six Flags Point Pelee Pier and it became the only Six Flags branded park in Cananda. Six Flags Point Pelee Pier added a new family coaster in 2014, a Maure Shone spinning coaster named "Pandemonium" in addition to the existing coaster line up which include Great Canadian Scream Machine (Formerly known as Frostbender at Random Antarctic Park), Nightmare (Vekoma Illusion roller coaster opened in 1990), Samurai (Arrow Dynamics Suspended coaster opened in 1987), Fighting Dragons (B&M inverted dueling coaster opened in 2000), a Vekoma Boomerang (opened in 1985 one of the park's first coasters), and a Python Pit kiddie coaster...

Frostbender and it was billed as the coldest coaster in the world and it had icicles on the track making the ride rather slippery. Meanwhile at Darien Lake, they rebuilt the Predator and reopened 'Cuda Falls and scrapped any plans to build Lake Monster in wood or steel. Darien Lake decided to repiant Mind Eraser to a black track with teal supports and they decided to focus on restructuring the park...

Six Flags and they bought the dumpy little Canadian theme park and closed it down. The rides from the park were scrapped except for the Boomerang and the SLC. The Boomerang coaster went to Six Flags Magic Mountain as "New Deja Vu" and was place in the old Deja Vu spot. The SLC was sent to The Great Escape as "Viper" since Six Flags wanted to name The Great Escape's "new" coaster as "Batman: The Ride", but Six Flags decided not to use any licensed properties that they own the right to use in their parks for use at The Great Escape. The Great Escape's Viper became the most popular ride at the park and people forgot all about Steamin' Demon and as a result, Six Flags sold Steamin' Demon to Darien Lake were it operated as "Steel Rodeo", but nobody cared for the ride and Darien Lake tore apart the coaster and place its track next to the former Batman: The Escape coaster. Darien Lake introduced a new coaster built from the Steamin' Demon and the former Batman: The Escape coaster tracks called "Lake Monster" and they had tear down Predator to make room for the new Lake Monster coaster...

The plot in Six Flags Discovery Kingdom where Superman: Ultimate Flight is now was home to two short lived coasters Zonga (2003-2007) and Tony Hawk's Big Spin/Pandemonium (2008-2011), But the first one (Zonga) was almost always closed! -

Of course I could see Cedar Point putting in an interactive dark ride in 2015, something like Boo Blasters on Boo Hill! -
