The only way that Time Machine is going to Darien Lake is if the owners of the former Freestyle park can figure out a way to get rid of whatever rides are left there! If Darien Lake does get a spinning coaster they should put it in Galaxy Theater or maybe they can put a Premier launch coaster in the style of SFDK's Superman coaster in where the Go Karts are!

I was thinking that Darien Lake should put in a Gerstlauer spinning coaster in Galaxy Theater next year and call it "Nightmare: Return to Phantom Cave". It would be all pitch black and the cars could look like coffins and the only place the lights would always be on is in the que line and the station. It would have the same layout as the former Tony Hawk coaster from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom because that particular spinning coaster model would be easy to fit in Galaxy Theater.

If the owner of the former Freestyle Park was willing to sell Time Machine to Darien Lake odds are that Darien Lake would not have it be sitting in rusted pieces like Shockwave/Batman. If they do get it they would have to get rid of 'Cuda Falls/Barracuda and part of the parking lot to make room for Time Machine.

First Defunct B&M?
DarienLaker replied to 11slataus's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^*Facepalm* ugh, don't people ever pay attention to the "no loose articles on rides" rule, if Universal had enforce that rule better, the Dragons would still be dueling! O.K. enough about "Dueling" Dragon Challenge, I wonder how good of condition is Time Machine from Freestyle Park since it has been SBNO since the park closed. If it's still in operable condition maybe it would find new a home (*cough* get it Darien Lake!) or if has been rotting like the Batman Intamin stand up that's at Darien Lake then it would be the first defunct B&M coaster! -
Cheddar Busch Gardens removing Gwazi for a dueling B&M invert or Busch Gardens removing Gwazi for a brewery themed dark ride/coaster?

From what I've heard about Dueling Dragons not dueling anymore, is that riders were throwing small objects like coins or wads of gum back and forth between dragons, so Universal decided to take the "duel" out of Dueling Dragons and rethemed the coasters after Harry Potter! -

I much rather see Magic Mountain's Batman clone, go to another park, like Darien Lake (That coaster would be a good replacement for that Vekoma headbanger they call "Mind Eraser"!). But as for the first B&M coaster to sent to the junkyard "theme park", I'm going to say that Great America's Vortex or Time Machine would be the first B&M to scrapped! -

"Out of Fashion" Ride Styles
DarienLaker replied to josephcissell's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Speaking of Arrow, they should have made a floorless suspended looping coaster with inline seating as opposed to riders riding side by side in twos. Vekoma could have done the same with their SLC models as well make them smooth as a B&M invert! -
Spider-Man The Joker (SFM) or Pandemonium (SFNE)?

Vekoma could try to make a family suspended coaster with similar designed train to the Arrow ones as oppose to using a floorless train like many inverted/suspended coasters built from 1993-now. -
Bruce Wayne Clark Kent or Peter Parker?

^ O.K. if Universal decides to sell or scrap the "Dueling" Dragons they would have get rid of both instead get rid of one or the other dragon! As the Vortex stand up clones at Great America and Carowinds, I say the Great America one gets scrapped and the Carowinds one gets sold to a non-Cedar Fair park! -
Build It And They Will . . . Forget.
DarienLaker replied to GrapesLie's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I say Viper at Darien Lake. Ever since Ride of Steel opened the once major coaster (Viper) kind of faded into "obscurity". And when they built the Swirl City slides in the water park they forget they still had 'Cuda Falls (at least they repainted the slides) since it was on theme park side, but it's still a part of the water park and now 'Cuda Falls/Barracuda Bay is just an old attraction that had faded into obscurity along with Viper, and some of the older flat rides like Haymaker, and Silver Bullet. -

I think one of the Vortex clones and Mantis are tied for the first "scrapped" B&M coaster! As for the "Dueling" Dragons coaster I think that Universal would scrap one "dragon" and sell the other one to another park! -

Here are my wild guesses for the first defunct B&M coaster .Led Zepplin/Time Machine, if it doesn't get a new lease on life at another park .Kumba, that's was B&M first sit down coaster .one or both of the Dueling Dragon/Dragon Challenge coasters, because with the point of having a dueling coaster without both coasters running at the same time!? . Vortex (CGA), Cedar Fair has been notorious for getting rid of coasters at CGA! .Batman: The Ride (SFMM), most likely that SFMM would just sell the ride to a non-Six Flags park. .Mantis (Cedar Point) .Incredible Hulk (IOA), If Universal decides to dump Marvel Comics, odd are this ride would be scrap!
