Golddisk Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The 2016 park map is up. I did not notice many changes except RipCurl racer and Ignite the Night having "colorblast" as its subtitle. The Galaxy Theater was also left off, so it looks like that will be SBNO again this season, but I think that was expected. https://www.darienlake.com/downloads/park-map.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 What's the point of Darien Lake keeping Galaxy Theater if it's never going to be used again? I wouldn't be surprised if that old thing is gone by the summer. Darien Lake has bad history in recent years for keeping stuff SBNO and/or empty for a few years.

Any piece of land is more valuable with a building than empty. And a building that size is great for maintenance and storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought RipCurl was going to be flipped the other way. Kind of odd that it would wnd facing the parking lot and makes you wonder if theyll expand out again in the future.

I can understand with all of the other rides in there being mainly "kids only". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of odd that it would wnd facing the parking lot and makes you wonder if theyll expand out again in the future. I also thought it was weird. I'm guessing they went for the curb appeal of having the slide visible from the entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sk610 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yes I expected rip curl racers to go towards hooks lagoon, but seeing this makes more sense. This gives riders less to walk to get to the actual tower. Thi,s orientation also makes it very visible from the parking lots as well. Also, with Ranger and Galaxy Theater off the map, the questions will surround what will fill those spots, either with the building there or not.

coasterkid124 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This is good to hear. Even with the improvements in 2013(?), the show has been kind of beat for a while. The effects were over exaggerated and the show really didn't change a whole lot. If they are committed to keeping the show for a while, the park should try to upgrade it whenever they can. Hopefully they'll change up the soundtrack to include some more music for all ages, not just the new junk. Also, they could use some of the new effects a little more. What was described as a "100 foot water screen" ended up being 1-2 splashes of water during the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matman-TheRide Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Because of college it has been a while since I have posted on this thread. With that being said I have a list of questions that hopefully can be answered. - How is the repaint of Mind Eraser going? - Have parts arrived for Ride Of Steel's new train? - Have parts arrived for Ripcurl? - Any new rumors lately?

Sk610 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hopefully with the nice weather we are having and the continued nice weather in the forecast, they can get some of these and other projects taken care of. As to what is and what isn't being done, now that Doug no longer works for the park, we don't have the inside view of what is happening. If anyone happens to live by the park, or drive by, see if you can spot anything. I would guess Ripcurl should start work pretty soon though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterkid124 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 It's a trap. It's actually the shipment of souvenir mugs for season pass holders. In all honesty, this is the thing I've been waiting most for this season and can't wait to see how they look and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 My guess of what's in the boxes are the parts for RipCurl Racers. The boxes look too small to be holding roller coaster trains/cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I think your assumption is backwards. Those crates are big enough to hold a couple of coaster cars, which come mostly assembled from the manufacturer. Water slide parts come on trucks and not in crates, which parts usually cannot fit in anyways. If each crate has 2 cars and there are 4 crates, that would be a full train.

Matman-TheRide Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Speaking of the delivery of the train for Ride Of Steel; a photo trip report from a preview of SFNE this year showed the new trains on Superman : The Ride and if I remember correctly these are the same models as the one coming to Ride Of Steel. So consider this a preview (The second photo is slightly innacurate as there will be no headrest). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So consider this a preview (The second photo is slightly innacurate as there will be no headrest). These trains are not new. They are the same as bizarro, but are getting different headrests and they repainted the restraints. Still the same old train with a row missing.

coasterkid124 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Those trains look really sharp. Hopefully our train will be similar. Hopefully they opt for different colors or design too. This is a great opportunity to boot the generic Ride of Steel theme. If they keep the name, the least they can do is theme it a bit better.
