coasterbill Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 There's no telling. I suggest that you just sit there refreshing it until it changes so you don't miss a minute of the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SbSteveZ Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 So, is Six Flags going to wait until April to switch the Darien Lake website to their format? Judging by what they did with Frontier City’s site, no. As someone who can understand the anticipation, I think my bigger concern is that I have yet to be able to upgrade my gold membership to something a little better than the baseline membership. I tried several times to try and take advantage of those sales they do so frequently but have since given up since I continue to get an error. For me I think that’s been a big reason that all the “changing over to six flags” stuff has been something I’ve been paying close attention to. For others, it may just be the excitement of a big name in the amusement industry being back in the Buffalo area or something like that, I can’t speak for everyone. Perhaps I’m too optimistic?

rjr19 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Although it’s strange that they still haven’t switched over the website, what I find a bit weirder is some of the posts on their social media. Look at their most recent Facebook post for example. They are literally still making posts with the “Darien Lake” logo, although they’re officially SFDL now. Here’s yesterday’s Facebook post. Can’t believe they’re still using the old logo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I can guarantee you that you'll find the old Darien Lake logo anywhere related to this park no matter what. They'll probably still have a lot of merchandise without the Six Flags logo on it this season . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellynn4 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Man, those brochures are SO 1990s. And about 40% WordArt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Back then Premier Parks (now Six Flags) really revamped Darien Lake into its current form and also wasn't the water park where the kiddie rides were before they opened the current kiddie land?

richwoodrocket Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I found this picture on Reddit, taken at six flags over Georgia. I thought everyone here would appreciate this. Slap a new Six Flags Darien lake logo on there and we're all set for the 2019 season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAmericanKnight Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 To start, that sign is rather funny. I wouldn't be surprised if a similar sign appears this year at SFDL at all. Also, while I know this is a bit trivial, I thought it was funny so I'll point it out anyways. Anyone notice that the satellite image for SFDL on Google Maps is still outdated? It still shows Thunder Rapids instead of Tantrum like its 2016. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride of steel Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 ^ It updated a little before 2017 opening day I believe, if you dig deep enough you can find Tantrum being built in the snow. I think it's on the county's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also those operations are really bad on that day, they were dipatching Tantrum like no tomorrow everytime I went. The queue was filled and I waited <30 minutes.
