richwoodrocket Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Wow, even the ordinary people are beginning to question the lack of SkyScreamer content on SFDL’s social media. Get used to it people, Six Flags doesn’t like to really post on their accounts But honestly, is it really that hard to post a picture every so often?? They’ve been advertising the sky screamer like crazy on the radio too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I think once Darien fully switches over then they'll be way more active. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride of steel Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 All the other SF Parks are active, once Darien gets in the groove it should be like it was. Maybe better. (Although it was nice when they did fan pictures.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryonisys Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 The worst part about these pictures has nothing to do with the park, I just want there to be leafs on the trees. I'm ready for it to look and feel like it's spring (it looks just about the same where I live too currently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemotblue Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Fans of the park I live in Oklahoma City as you know Frontier City like Darien was one of the newly acquired parks. Let's just say you are in for a real awesome treat. What Six Flags did to Frontier City in the Off season I was extremely impressed. Every single square inch of that park was touched from Ride system upgrades, Signage, Theme-ing, park wide sound system upgrades layout changes to give the park better traffic flow. They moved things around the new Kids area what they did there is First Class good quality work. Not cheap on the fly patch it up. They have put a lot of work into the park and I am thoroughly impressed what Six Flags done to the park. I had my doubts how it was treated last time it was a Six Flags park. The park this time around has been treated it's best in years. So I say you fans of Darien Lake you better be ready the park most likely changed and in a good way during the off season. those few signs Darien lake posted on social media is just the very very tiny tip of the iceberg. You should check out some of my recent trip reports of Frontier City on the Frontier City Thread to see all the changes Six Flags did to that park. Give you an idea what to expect from the Six Flags. https://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=75952&p=1903827&hilit=Frontier+City#p1903827 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride of steel Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Wow man thanks, gives me a ton of hope for the season ahead! (Edit): Fast pass was mentioned in that TR for parks that do not carry the DC theming, on the other hand we at Darien have Flashpass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve seen some of the upgraded signage, renderings of Flash Pass lines, and of course a huge new addition their first season in. As for the sound system, i’d love to see a sound system improvement at Darien. Over the course of the years, the speakers have gotten quite, or are flat out broken and high quality audio really sets a good mood throughout the park. Same goes for theming: this park has had ZERO theming since Six Flags left in the early 2000s, it’s dry, and blah. As I said with sound systems, theming also helps set a good mood through the park. Not let’s just hope maybe Six Flags will fork over a larger maintenance budget for the place, maintenance has been a train wreck for so long st this place. I’m excited to see all the improvements around the place.....hoping to attend opening day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjr19 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 So I saw in the Frontier City thread that the park is still using Pepsi products due to some contract agreement. Does this mean SFDL will also carry out using Pepsi this year? Honestly i’d prefer if they had Pepsi instead of coke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Six Flags? I don’t quite know how I feel about the red roof on Twister’s queue house. Doesn’t quite look right.
