What do you all think of my idea? I they should move MotoCoaster closer to Tantrum and re-open the pool for the campers. That way, there wouldn't be an issue because that pool was always just for the campers, and the non-campers wouldn't even need to go to that area. I think they should also move Fascination back in the campers area. Campers liked to play fascination late at night after a nice day at the park before heading back to camp. What do you all think? I think its highly unlikely that they put in a new pool.

Seems like the easiest thing to do would be to put a gate at the General Store and the top of the laser show hill, and then fence off the lot behind the arcade and along the amphitheater.

Wonder if the idea is to open up the campground to non-park goers. It could open them up to extra revenue.

Does this mean Beaver Brothers Restaurant won’t be available to park guests anymore? That would be disappointing as I go there for food all the time when I’m at the park. It probanly would be open, just put a gate beyond the entrance

What? I don't get the second part. Campground passes/access will be checked I presume What's going to happen to Motocoaster? You have pass through Darien Square in order to get to the ride's entrance and exit. Open the gate next to the queue

It still just called Darien Lake. The Darien Center was from the hypnotist so I wouldnt read anything into that. The contact email addresses say its going to be SFDL.

Great Escape isnt far from Tug Hill. They probably get more snow than Darien.

Predator isnt bad if you ride the front and stay off the seat back.

It says new ride. If it were a refresh I doubt theyd word it that way. Best bet for the park is they are getting a flat like a Skywarp, Skyscreamer, etc.. Hopefully SF also gets all the coasters up to 2 train ops with the repairs or whatever needs to be done. Throw in possibly the start of some DC theming changes. In my opinion, a new ride is going to be great for the park, but I am hoping that the money forked over for a new ride won’t neglect the much needed park improvements, especially in Ride operations and maintenance. RoS and Viper desperately need second trains running ASAP and some rides need an overhaul pretty badly. I think SF won’t be ok with their park looking like crap and having rides not running correctly or not at their intended capacity. It would look really bad on sF’s part if those issues are addressed, before new rides are thrown in. I have a sense of deja vu.

We all know what happened last time they tried to compete with Cedar Fair.... (yes I know, different circumstances, its a joke)

It has been used for that in the past but not currently. I think it is used for conferences and special events now. Someone had their wedding on the grounds around that house a couple years ago. Its a beautiful house and property

It's so far "off the beaten path" and so small, I didn't even notice that. The address appears to be XXXX Alleghany Rd Corfu, NY 14036 (oddly the GIS doesn't give street addresses as far as I can tell). I don't want to provide the Street View, because that seems oddly invasive, but it's empty lot, with a car, a enclosed trailer, a medium sized ?pull? RV, and what appears to be a small private transportation bus. There is also a trampoline for when you want some excitement, but don't want to make the long drive to the theme park . I'm curious to know why on earth a theme park would want a vacant lot in town, when they have 100s of empty acres. The ownership could date back decades to Paul Snyder and they just never split it off. Might not have much value. The house on the corner of Sumner and 77 interests me more, is that where the park GM lives?

Its been posted here before too

No screenshot, just the description

Arent we all GP? Yeah, it’s a term that enthusiasts use to make themselves feel like they’re better than everyone else despite the fact that they say equally ridiculous things.

This has been mentioned

Calling it Superman is better than what I heard a Canadian call it last year, Man of Steel.

Im not too sure about that, they all had their current names last time SF owned it, except Motocoaster obviously. Only ROS and the kiddie area were themed.

Since SF is only operating the park and doesn't fully own it, I'm wondering if they will do what they used to do with SFDK before they purchased it (Marine World, A Six Flags Theme Park)? IMO it doesn't make sense to fully brand DL if they don't own it. Whether it makes sense or not, its happening.

The Fair, Corn Fest and other festivals are more than just rides. I would say a majority of people that attend the fair dont even ride the rides. I know that if I didnt have kids I wouldnt. So you cant really compare the two. That said, I got my kids weekday pay one prices rides for $25 each. Admission will only be $5 they day im going too.

Darien Lake Theme Park Resort is holding open interviews in hopes of filling 1,000 seasonal positions as students head back to school and the park heads into its extended season. A variety of positions are available, including ride operators as well as actors and other positions for Fright Fest, the park's Halloween event. Fright Fest runs through Oct. 28 and extends Darien Lake's season, keeping the park open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Positions are open for makeup artists, wardrobe assistants, technicians, ushers and "scare-actors." Employees receive unlimited free park admission, and free park tickets for friends and family. The interviews and auditions will be held from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays from Aug. 11 through Oct. 6. To apply, visit DarienLake.com/jobs or call 1-585-599-5108. https://buffalonews.com/2018/08/08/darien-hiring-1000-people-for-the-season/

Still closed as of this past weekend I believe.
