Six Flags Darien Lake (SFDL) Discussion Thread

[richwoodrocket]

Guys, we're getting a Giga called Batman the Escape! (I saw it on Instagram)

Not sure if you’re being serious, were misinformed or being sarcastic.

[ride of steel]

Is all of the above available?

When was the last time a Six Flags park added a hyper coaster?

[ride of steel]

I think it was the Goliath twins at La Rondé and over Georgia. Or Superman at Six Flags Mexico.

[SbSteveZ]

^ interesting.

 

Also, though I’m assuming six flags doesn’t care about these, I’m pretty sure this is Ride of Steel’s 20th season. I love how they had a celebration for Mind Eraser and Viper in 2017, but nothing for their star attraction. Oh well! Happy 20th, RoS!

[ride of steel]

Yeah I've been pissed at Six Flags all season, so far they've barley paid attention to it. I wouldn't be suprised if it got the new trains either.

[coasterbill]

I'm so happy that reality is finally starting to set in.

[ride of steel]

I mean they've paid attention to the other rides, Vipers station and electric are getting fixed and it got new lights, as well as Mind Eraser getting music. But I guess they see ride of steel as a liability because of it's downtime.

What?

[ride of steel]

They're not gonna draw attention to it because of the down time when they could be paying attention to the other working rides.

[coasterbill]

What do you mean by "draw attention to it", what do you want them to do exactly? They don't have to do sh*t.

 

Are you still wanting them to throw it a birthday party? WTF?

[ride of steel]

At least put a sign up, Viper had a birthday party with cupcakes for God's sake, this is Ride Of Steel we're talking about.

[coasterbill]

So you want them to buy the ride cupcakes...

 

got it.

got it.

It’s great watching the reality of “oh... it’s Six Flags not Disney setting in”

[ride of steel]

I want them to put a sign up I just said that.

Like Viper had a party, they don't need to do that but at least do setting no matter how small.

A Snickers sign?

[ride of steel]

No, you very well no what I mean and you're attempting to be funny.

Both Mind Eraser and Viper got a sign and some changes to the signage.

[coasterbill]

Six Flags doesn't care about this kind of stupid sh*t. The only time there should ever be a Mind Eraser party is if they announce that they're demolishing it for a picnic area.

[ride of steel]

Six Flags does it at their other parks, and I'm pretty sure the park itself can make that call.

[coasterbill]

Six Flags does it at their other parks

This is true. Who could forget the party Great Adventure had for Nitro? Hookers and blow everywhere...

 

Are you really annoyed by the lack of a sign and some Wal Mart cupcakes? Maybe if a coaster turns 50, 75 or 100 they'll throw up a sign and a press release and interview some insufferable ACEr for the press release (that's about as much effort as they're comfortable with) but this is dumb.

[ride of steel]

Vipers cupcakes were custom, also I'm pretty sure Nitro had something mentioning it's 20 years or how ever it was.

[coasterbill]

This is the most absurd complaint ever. You realize that, right?

[ride of steel]

For them to at least give some celebration to such a revolutionary ride? I don't think so. Darien has been doing it for years, all the way back to RoS's 15th. So why stop now? It's the parks call not Six Flags.

If this kind of stuff bothers you this much then I’m super excited for the future of this park as a Six Flags Park and the years of entertainment that this thread will provide us.
