Are onio.n ring.s another dumb filter? Onion rings

A single order of wings at the restaurant downtown is $13, a bucket is $41 so it sounds about the same. Both are tourist traps.

On the Bizarro note, I found it funny that SFNE is calling Fireball its 12th roller coaster. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/12th-coaster-fireball-coming-to-six-flags-new-england-in-2016-300137286.html

The chances of 1 or 2 happening are slim to none. Dont know what #3 is, #4 would be my choice.

DL got a world class coaster from a big theme park operator... 16 yrs ago.

For people like myself with two kids that are 41 and 39 inches tall, yes it is because its the only slide they can go on because they wont go on the Hooks Lagoon slides for some reason.

I agree, itwould/will be a good move when all the empty areas are filled up. In regards to the laser show, moving it near ride of steel might be difficult as they would have to make sure none of the lasers go near ride of steel or else it would have to close for the show just like how boomerang, giant wheel, red hawk, blast off, and sling shot currently have to. The whole park is closed by the time the laser show starts.

Grab your Delorean and Doc Brown, head back to the year 2000 and ask Six Flags this question.

The moment when you realize that it's very likely Especially knowing they are one of the contenders, (or maybe the only ones), that want to purchase Darien Lake. People, take note... ^ hes dropped more than a few hints that hes in the know about HFE buying DL, so pay attention...

Theres room to expand the campground too if necessary.

They could eat up some campground space without an issue, especially right there. The biggest camping weekend of the year, Kingdom Bound, still had plenty of spots open further back. Apple Lake was a ghost town and the overflow only had a few spots used. Theres also a trailer graveyard that could be used for camping overflow.

If they also remove the Galaxy Theater, that could free up some space for a coaster bigger than Ride of Steel back there to make Viper look like a looping kiddie coaster! Thats what I meant when I mentioned it, removing it.

Between the go karts, batting cages and Galaxy Theater, theres plenty of room for a huge coaster back there.

They. Arent. Coming. Back.

It is a filter... and its dumb. Lol

Not to be rude myself, but why do people on this site call a friggin l.ocker by that dumb long ass name? Clearly its way more work to say that than l.ocker, and it sounds stupid. EDIT: OK, so why does this board auto correct to that foolishness?

This is exactly what I said a few pages back! With ROS getting a re theme and new trains, it'd be awesome to start developing that area and add some flats. I like the idea of moving twister down there and painting it (as long as they can fix whatever's wrong with it). Moving twister would open up some more area near the go karts which could be removed. I also mentioned the idea of the park adding a huss frisbee, these rides are awesome, they have extremely high capacity, and look sharp. Maxair at Cedar Point is exactly what i'd want Darien's to be like. I've been a loyal pass holder at Darien since i was a little kid, and i'm just so sick of waiting for another coaster. It kills me seeing all these parks add coasters year after year and for Darien its going on 17 years without a major coaster. On a side note, since Dariens off season is soo long they could honestly get away with not starting predator till the end of September when the park closes. that leaves at least 8 months for work to be done, and even if it takes till june or july for it to open so what?? Any inside info on what the new theme/colors are?

I thought GCI was rumored to be working on Lake Monster. And I would think they could wait until the end of daily operations to start work.

Could go with Bizarro style restraints

Millenium Force has the same cars and restraints without the side bars. Not sure if it has the airtime of ROS though. The snack stand in the ROS plaza was painted this year so there is some movement there.

Waterpark could expand if the catered picnic area were moved.

Ranger overtaken by weeds? I dont know what park you were at because I havent seen that. For what its worth, its not listed on the website anymore. Ive seen Twister being tested this year but thats it. It was installed in 2000 I believe. Its still on the website.

Found this nugget: As required under our articles of incorporation, we began a process of evaluating strategic alternatives in an effort to undertake to provide stockholders with liquidity of their investment by December 31, 2015, either in whole or in part, including, without limitation, through (i) the commencement of an orderly sale of our assets, outside of the ordinary course of business and consistent with our objectives of qualifying as a REIT, and the distribution of the net sales proceeds thereof to the stockholders or (ii) our merger with or into another entity in a transaction which provides the stockholders with cash or securities of a publicly traded company or (iii) a listing of our shares on a national stock exchange (“Listing”). Am I reading correctly that DL (and other CNL assets) should be sold by the end of the year per their articles of incorporation?

Riding the Ferris wheel gave me an idea visually of changes that could be made. The Cuda Falls hill could be leveled out and made into a new catered picnic area, and the old area could be used for a new coaster or large new themed area. Similarily, the Galaxy Theater, Go Karts, batting cages and Twister could all be removed for a new coaster or large themed area. If they want to make it even bigger the maintenance areas, bumper cars and useless Frontier Shooting Gallery could be moved as well. Theres a lot of room for expansion either way.

Park is packed again today, especially the water park. Brain Drain is a full staircase plus some, Big Kahuna 45 min+ and Tornado a full queue. Everything seems to be working including two trains on Viper, although I saw Viper run two empty cycles while waiting on Big Kahuna.
