One train ops all around today, Twister still closed but was testing this morning. Everything else open and operating (Ranger not included)

Viper only running one train this morning. Twister was also closed when I walked by and had a lift behind it.

If it was raining that would be why the Giant Wheel was closed.

What would be especially interesting to know is what would replace Ranger if it leaves. I think it would be nice to see a 200 ft Intamin drop tower or a zamperla discovery in there. Doubt it would be a drop tower with Blast Off already there.

Correction, Big Kahuna did open. Tornado did not. Monday they said it was a lack of lifeguards due to schools still being in session. I overheard that Boomerang was waiting on parts from overseas. Motocoaster had maintenance working on it. Ranger has yet to be open the 3 times ive been there so far. Overall the park looks in good shape though. Looks like the wet June curbed their plan to finish painting ME supports, many still werent done but its a good start.

At the park right now and Motocoaster, Boomerang, Big Kahuna and Ranger are all not operating. Also 6 cars on the Corn Popper are roped off.

Never noticed this before. Its on the walkway in front of the Corn Popper

Probably sold or scrapped.

LOL, they wouldnt have taken it down in the first place if it was just a water line issue.

Went today, park seemed clean and in good shape. All the paint looked fresh on the buildings. Didnt go down by ROS. The view from the Giant Wheel showed that the Cuda Falls splash pool was removed and filled in but Floodgate Falls remains a mosquito breeding ground. We were next in line for the Corn Popper when the ride op advised he had a brake problem and the ride would be shut down. It did take forever for it to come to a stop after the ride cycle. I saw them testing it after but didnt notice if it re-opened. My only peeve was that Haymaker took 10 minutes to load, only to ride for about 45 seconds because the ride op was the slowest ride op in the history of ever.

Is season pass processing open Tues, Wed, Thurs at all? Or just when the park is open?

Yes. And we just got daily tickets up online! You can purchase at http://DarienLake.com/?keyword=daily%20tickets Any info on other park updates that arent related to the new rides? Well, in general, we've reached the part of the year where things are becoming really active inside the park. Some buildings are getting fresh paint, rides are getting re-assembled and inspected, merchandise is being stocked, new tech systems are coming online, ect. Truthfully, I'm not too up-to-date with everything simply because it's hard to get away from the desk and into the park this time of year. But every department is really working hard and kicking butt this year, and I have a good feeling about this season. I think I saw that a few former Dip 'n' Dot locations have returned, plus a new one, so be sure to stop by and ask them about our 2016 project. To be more specific, are any of the coasters getting long overdue paint that youve noticed or heard?

Nice Instagram today, we can almost see your nose hairs

If there was any doubt Premier took over, this email erases any doubts

Bringing up the Batman coaster is like asking when Six Flags New Orleans is re-opening

Im sure its the Color Me Rad 5k. Dont get too excited. Are you kidding? Don't get excited over running?!? Lol... annnnnd its confirmed: http://colormerad.com/

Theyre in the back by the PAC, near the old farm house.

Im sure its the Color Me Rad 5k. Dont get too excited.

Looks good, but do you think these guys will have a problem with it?

That could be a possibility if Premier and CNL play their cards right, we could an S&S El Looco, a Premier Rides compact launch coaster (possibly a clone of the Superman coaster at SFDK), a compact Gerstlauer Eurofighter, or a Gerstlauer spinning coaster in the future. Why did you repeat what he just said?

That's a standard question on the form for any project. I wouldn't read into it at all. Traffic isn't an issue in the area even when ROS was new.

The white building in the bottom of the site was closed last year and was previously a souvenir shop. I would guess that might get demolished for room, however it is at a lower elevation than whats behind it.

HFE is still listed on the season pass signup page
