If you ask me, that was a waste of money that Darien Lake put into painting the old 'Cuda Falls slides when they could have removed them in 2010 when they expanded the water park. The paint money should have used for painting up Mind Eraser and Ride of Steel!
I don't really approve of people smoking in theme parks, but I think a Dippin Dots or a Tim Hortons stand would be a better replacement for Ranger that a smoking area!
