I didn't realize it worked that way. . thought it went off "likes" really. Noted for the future tho. for my part, once I realized they were pleased with how they were acting (fairly quickly in), I just closed the youtube video.

pryonisys Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Finally got on Predator with the Titan Track and here are my thoughts - The Good: The Titan Track feels great, it's incredibly smooth and maintains/builds speed better than pretty much all points on the ride The Bad: Coming back out of the Titan Track you are immediately reminded how rough the rest of the coaster is, the speed that you build/maintain through the death turn (that you previously lost due to the track slowing you down) makes the next bit of track feel like getting in a bit of a car accident. Final thoughts: The Titan Track is a huge success and improvement for that portion of the ride, I'd like to see a whole coaster done with Titan Track, but unfortunately with only a few hundred feet on the retracking done on Predator I don't really think it helps the whole experience (even thought it does massively help the one section of track). If Six Flags wanted to keep Predator's profiling mainly the same, but transitioned the whole ride to Titan Track I would not be upset about that at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof Kaos Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hey folks, Going to be camping in New York state between August 6th and 14th, planning on going to Darien Lake during that time. Any recommendations on day of the week, time of day, and strategy for how best to navigate and enjoy them park? Appreciate any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk610 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I can tell you that the park is closed on Tuesdays and closes for the day at 7 except for Friday and Saturday when they close at 9. Usually as long as there is not a concert it's not so busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYCoasterguy11 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hit up Ride of Steel or Viper first, they are the only two that usually have a long line. Most head to RoS first so I usually go straight to Viper. It tends to be a slow line due to the ride being long and the manual restraints. Everything else should be short to no wait if any day but Saturday or a concert day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscactus Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 If you spend more than two days at Darien Lake, you are spending too much time at Darien Lake. I know your just said your were camping in the state, but hopefully you weren't planning on Darien Lake to occupy much of that. And if you're spending two days, some of that time should be occupied in the not-so-great waterpark. You'll get bored, quick. Unless you camp here: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof Kaos Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Thanks for the insight folks. Yeah, we're just going to spend an afternoon there, nothing more. I don't expect it to be mind blowing or anything, just a little day trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddisk Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Laser show is set to return next year with a number of other events. Based on that the park will have to be going back to a 9 or 10 pm close during the summer. Looks like FF will still only run until mid Oct. https://www.wkbw.com/six-flags-darien-lake-announces-new-special-events-lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haymaker Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The Giant Wheel lives on... as FF props. Also found it weird that theyre selling Superman merch in the ROS gift shop. Enough people still call it Superman and thats just going to perpetuate it, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob325 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 ^ I think that's awesome! I hope they leave them up all year. Much better than some random benches strewn about. It really gives the park some character and a nice place for your group to sit and chat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAmericanKnight Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 So, now with Six Flags going down the path that it is lately, is SFDL just going to stagnate now in regards to additions? Like, how bad is it going to be for the next decade or so? Also, is it now confirmed the Warner Bros. IPs are never coming to the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Nothing is confirmed unless it’s confirmed. As for the future. The industry changes all the time, new CEOs with dramatically different ideas come in all the time. I wouldn’t expect anything next year, but no way I’m predicting anything anything beyond that.

anonymouscactus Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Despite this being the busiest couple of weekends for major parks, SFDL is now closed for the season. They had this in the spot of the Giant Wheel. Ouch. I realize weather plays a factor (Canada's Wonderland says hi!) back in the early days of their Halloween event they drew pretty decent crowds. Times have definitely changed and I know there's no way they can support the staff with it being in the middle of nowhere and they always have to close half the park anyways even back then. They should do a Michigan's Adventure (edit: I hadn't realized Great Escape had a full blown fright fest all month long) and just not open for Fright Fest at this point. I'm curious what attendance was like for the 6 whole days of fright fest. Yes, 6 days. Edited October 16, 2022 by anonymouscactus Oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every weekend in October, along with Oktoberfest starting in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Any park not located in Siberia should do a full Halloween event. This park is dumb, get creative. I don't even care if you open nothing but coasters and mazes like BGT does. Pay $30 an hour if you have to. It will still absolutely print money. It's not like the mazes have to be good to get hordes of people to show up, Six Flags has proven that time and time again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yeah, the distance from Rochester and Buffalo is long enough that it is hard to get folks to want to work there... but why not introduce a transportation method or something? If y'all remember that scary bus ride they used to do... I'm sure they could use that to transport people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haymaker Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Unfortunately this weekend wouldve been perfect for an event, 70+ and sunny through Sunday. But the areas fickle weather showed out this week, as it was 40-50 all week and drenching rain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Yeah, it would be pretty problematic to have an event like this in an area with fickle weather. This was yesterday by the way… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sk610 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Screamscape is reporting more Titan Track for Predator in 2023. If they did that and got second trains for ME, ROS and Motocoaster I would be happy with those additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryonisys Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 The thing that I wish they would do that would cost them very little would be to re-open the path from Boomerang to Motocoaster, creating 2 dead ends with no real reason is silly (to be fair I'm sure there's some reason I don't know, but I still think it's stupid) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk610 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 ^ I agree. Having two dead ends in a similar spot is silly. I wonder if they can't put a path so close to the Boomerang or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
