Get your bids in! New York based Bontrager Auction Services is currently hosting a special online auction featuring several original entrance elements from the former "Superman: Ride of Steel" attraction at Six Flags Darien Lake. These pieces, long associated with the park's landmark hypercoaster, are available to the public through Wednesday, December 10th. The items originate from the period when the amusement park held licensing rights to DC Comics properties and introduced its newest coaster under the "Superman: Ride of Steel" banner. Following a change in ownership, the park no longer retained those rights and the theming was removed along with the attraction being rebranded as "Ride of Steel". Despite the change, the coaster's footprint and reputation endured, making the original entrance features significant items for both longtime fans and collectors. Heading the offerings are the prominent Superman "S" shield entrance sign and several stainless-steel crystals inspired by the Fortress of Solitude that once framed the ride's gateway. These components became defining elements of the attraction's identity and remain recognizable to visitors who experienced the coaster during its Superman-branded era. Bontrager Auction Services notes that opportunities to acquire authentic, park-used pieces from major attractions are uncommon, and interest from collectors and themed-entertainment professionals is expected to be strong. Bidding is currently underway at BontragerAuction.hibid.com. https://bontragerauction.hibid.com/lot/276145531/darien-lake-superman--ride-of-steel---s-s--darien

They are definitely doing more of the punch list type things that had long been ignored. Lift hill lights on Predator being the most recent.

They got a new ROS train this year, doubtful that they get SFA's

New ME train photo. Predator with 230 ft of new track.

dnn has posted reliable info before so definitely something to watch for

So it will have two trains available this year?

Those trains could probably be used on Millennium Force or any other similar Intamin just as much as ROS

When I had my travel trailer, the most I ever did at DL was 3 nights. That was with young kids and not going to the park after the 3rd night.

Trackless, they shared an inspiration story video on it recently

They had a big resurgence in the mid to late 90's, largely because of the movie Armageddon

Pet peeve correction: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, not Rockin.

Grand Avenue will be Monstropolis, previously known as Muppets Courtyard. Maybe thats the confusion.
