Don't look now but Googleadscence is watching
It means that there was a Google bot watching the page for illegal links.

On the predator topic, I say rework it so that it is a classic out and back woodie. Take it all the way to route 77 and remove all,the banked curves. Think Blue Streak, and I bet it would be Fantastic!
And don't forget some streamlined Morgan trains (find them somewhere somehow )

Yes finally some halfway decent firewood hopefully the hooligans dont steal it
Look at 1299 Sumner Rd where the picture was taken but, look behind and there will be a feild that has been cleared recently and it looks to havesomething in it.
I'm totally going to be that guy and squash that rumor before it even has a slight chance of taking off. I was at the Administration Building yesterday to process my season pass and I saw predator sitting still with no signs of nothing. It shall be predator again in 2017 and likely for every year following until it gets taken down. I'd love for the Lake Monster idea to become a reality but sadly at least for the foreseeable future' date=' I don't see it happening. However at another theme park 4.5hours or so away, "they're coming", so that's something to be excited about right? [/quote'] Thanks for the picture, and yes I am VERY excited for that campaign as I might have a chance to go in 2018! But I must point out "lake monster " is not owend by darein lake , it's owend by a pub . And the park is starting to at least trying to make the predator rideable, did anyone notice they removed the trims on the last camelbacks before the brakes run? But trying to build the ride in one year would be hard because the brake run is over a path. But darn who does that feild belong to?What field?
Its firewood. The only relation it has to DL is campers buying it and burning it in a DL firepit.

I'm not sure how long you've been following this page, or if you know the story - but basically Lake Monster was the name of the conceptual idea that Herschend sent out to season pass holders about a potential revamp via RMC Topper Track to the Predator. The name meant nothing as it was merely theoretical but it made it easier for people to reference said idea with the theoretical name than have to say "that herschend idea from years ago where they thought it would be cool to revamp the predator", see what I mean? There are no trademarks for this name under Darien Lake because even if the plan went through that likely would not have been the name they chose for the new attraction. I hope that clears that up.
RMC has actually done track work on the predator recently - though it was just typical wooden coaster maintenance - they still have made some improvements to the ride itself. If they were to ever end up redoing the ride they could easily work around that path issue by utilizing their slightly longer off season (October 2nd 2017 to probably May 5th 2018) to do all the construction that wasn't feesable or safe with pedestrian traffic while the park was still open. They could also reroute the path to get to RoS or just close the ride all together but since this is just a pipe dream I wouldn't think too far into it. Of course if it ever does come to pass, the park will know what to do much more than an enthusiast like me does and they'll have it all set for whenever the new attraction would theoretically open.
I understand the survey part but the part I don't understand is how they could have named the ride that even though the trademark exist already

Has anyone noticed how recent pictures of darien lake don't show predator (just to get the rumor mills spinning )
Probably because Predator sucks...
They're don't anticipate to be known as "the park with the worstate woodie"

TackelBerry was right on this one, but what I'm confused on is where did that fence come from?
-
For those who say let the b&m rumors begin: checkmate. Do I think this is legitimate track? Nah. But it still could be possible and so close to the park hmmmmm......,,,
-
I think I've found the location. I've figured from the quality of the photo it must have been zoomed in alot.
Note the Mrs pacman April fools
And let the rmc rumors begin
-
What angle is this from?
-
I've got a new subtitle for the thread "some day"
-
Wow I saw b&m track outside the plant, that means it's immediately going to my park because we need a new ride!
-
I have about 4 of them for when I'd go with a group of people. They loved how the color Wands would sync with the show! It was kind of funny actually, each time I took someone to see the show with the wands for the first time, they wouldn't believe me when I said what they did. Darien Lake really did stumble upon something great because everyone I introduced the light wands to absolutely loved them! Myself included
It took me atleast 2 trips to figure out they worked.
-
Did anyone else get the 'Colorblast' light wand things. Mine broke after about and hour but still kind of kept up with the music.
-
C'mon...you guys make it sound like free streaming wi-fi (porn) at the campground after you're drunk and bored with the park is a bad thing?
Just hide your beers....people like to take them.

Let's hope some concert goers don't climb this one.
