So, is Six Flags going to wait until April to switch the Darien Lake website to their format?

Without removing something else I think that is about it. The only other way they could "expand" (and this will NEVER happen because I don't even know if it could be done and it would be stupid to do anyway) would be to fill in Fun Lake. That will not happen and I don't even know if it could... I just wanted to list an insane idea that would in theory allow for a park expansion. This however is a stupid idea and will not happen (have I made that clear enough?) If you are looking at realistic places for the park to add a new ride look to the go carts area, former Cuda Falls area or the big building by Viper where they had a haunted house this year. Hmm.... what about a bridge across the road like... Astroworld.. I think..? I’m probably wrong but I know it’s possible to build a bridge across the road. Funny how you mention a bridge across the road. When Six Flags previously owned Darien Lake, they actually had plans to do this in the early years of their ownership if I remember correctly. They eventually gave up on those plans (and the rest of the park until they sold it), but they actually did have big plans. I never found out what exact coasters they were thinking of adding, but they were thinking of adding 2 to 3 coasters and an overall expansion where the current parking lot is. Kind of a shame this never happened, as I have been curious as to what exactly they were thinking of adding. But yes, they considered a bridge across the road at one point, and maybe they could do it again, but I doubt it. I hope they do.

LOL! They probably tore it apart. That fountain doesn't matter that much anyways. BTW, still no more updates on rethemes?

The page for Darien Lake on RCDB has been renamed to Six Flags Darien Lake. https://rcdb.com/4581.htm

Does anyone know if the Warner Bros IPs are going to be included into the new theming at the recently acquired parks?

According to this article (Source : http://www.attractionsmanagement.com/index.cfm?pagetype=news&codeID=340787 ) the changes listed are coming to all three parks. This means that it is likely that Darien Lake will also receive some theming upgrades of some sort and new paint. Now, whether that means new paint for coasters and buildings is not confirmed. Neither does it confirm if IPs will be involved with the theming. But apparently, there will be something in those regards.

What kind of theming is the article referring to? The usual Warner Bros IP theming for a Six Flags park? Or more like generic theming? Edit : Also, by "paint treatments", do they mean repaints of roller coasters?

lol

Also, if the name change is certainly official now, can someone change the name of this thread to "Six Flags Darien Lake Discussion Thread"?

Where did you hear that? Is this just a rumor?

It was just announced that Zac Brown Band is coming to Darien Lake this year as well. I have never been to a concert there, but this may convince me to try it. Great band.

So, there's a Six Flags Vaporwave video out now.

I came across this in the early morning. It's a Vaporwave music video featuring Darien Lake.

A couple more concerts to be hosted at the park were just announced.

This was just posted to the Kings Island Thread. (Edit) I just ran into another post by the same person who posted that "Cold War" idea on the Kennywood Thread. I think they should go for a racing coaster. The only RMC racer would be really cool and unique. As far as being RMC's highest profile project to date, I gotta say no. SV broke a ton of records and I don't see the Gwazi structure producing something that can challenge SV. Mainly because Gwazi isn't that tall, and therefore wouldn't be that fast, unless there is a launch. But I'm sure the end result will be fantastic! Do you think that people care about records? That's just a marketing thing. All of I am too stupid to spell Steel Vengeance so I'll just write SteVen and pretend I'm being cool's "records" were made up. A hybrid coaster isn't a real thing, steel vs. wood is only determined by the type of track, what they use to support the ride is irrelevant. Either way, the GP doesn't care about those made up records that only enthusiasts would care about, they just care about the end game result. The talk about RMC Gwazi being the most prolific park is because its at a 365 park, so close to Disney World, and at a higher tier park. Arguably Twisted Collosus has been the highest profile RMC so far -- in a 365 park, close to Disneyland, in the most prolific SF park, on a coaster that Hollywood loves to use. Don't get too tied up with CP. Its all of our favorite parks, but its not really a huge blip on the radar of the average American. Its only the #3 Cedar Fair park in attendance actual (behind Knott's and Canada's Wonderland). I am too stupid to spell Steel Vengeance so I'll just write SteVen and pretend I'm being cool was an enthusiast's coaster. The GP only really know and care about the Disney or Universal parks, and their home regional park. That's why Twisted Tiger could be so prolific -- its relatively close to WDW. And, SeaWorld/Busch are in a higher tier than Six Flags/Cedar Fair. Come to think of it you could also say that Lightning Rod is up there, as Dollywood has some GP appeal. But of course it never actually runs.

What? Where did you hear about that?

This quote or this quote? Everyone please read this again. So linking to an official press release and quoting it verbatim, EXACTLY as TPR would do themselves, is a "crappy job," a "garbage post," and a bannable offense? Okay, LOL. Gotta love how disposable people who have been part of making this website what it is for over a decade are to ol' Alvey, I would know first hand. There's a reason nobody who actually means anything in this industry likes the guy. I literally re-registered just to address this (Hey Robb, your cute little "permanent" IP ban went away after 30 days or so and I've been happily browsing the forums again ever since - kind of pointless when VPN's are a thing anyway, don't you think?). No, you've all been brainwashed into THINKING this "isn't about being first." It's about YOU not being first, so Robb can be, because he's a fragile little unhinged egomaniac. Guy is one of the worst human beings on the planet. Gotta love someone who demands respect but is incapable of giving it to anyone else. I'm going to keep coming back, Robb, I'm going to keep reminding you what a piece of shit you are, and I WILL ruin your life.

Dang it, you beat me to it! I was just about to post that here too! Still not sure if this person was a troll or someone awkwardly venting.

I can't tell if this is a superb job at trolling, or someone doing a terrible job at venting political beliefs in one of the most unfitting places to do so possible.

I highly doubt they will relocate just the waterfall. Also, I forgot about what Coasterbill mentioned. I guess this really is the end for Twister . On another note, anyone here think Pirate will also eventually get replaced?

If you read into this document far enough, there is a confirmation that Twister is leaving. However, they are apparently putting it into storage, so there may be hope left for Twister returning elsewhere in the park.

Ah, good times! Really though, I didn’t mind any criticism. I just hope Six Flags doesn’t pull my logo and rebrand the ride around the Joker or something like that. If they do, I hope they’ll let me take the portal sign off their hands. [emoji7] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Crikey, you're back DougMJr! I feel like its been a while since you've been on here. Anyways, I do have to admit that I actually would not mind a Joker retheme for Rolling Thunder. It's already Green and Purple, after all. However, what I hope for the most is Ride of Steel getting rethemed back to Superman and Mind Eraser being rethemed to Riddler just like SFNE did. That would be awesome if they gave the same treatment to Mind Eraser!
