I'm a fat 41 year old smoker, I've ridden every single one of those coasters multiple time in a row, end of night, no unload, my goodness the amount of crying over how rough the rides are is amazing😅. This one doesn't have enough force, this one hurts too much😅

The park expanded so quickly in the late 90s, early 00s and it had a promising future. Now it seems noone wants to do anything with it or properly invest in it the way it deserves

I always look forward to your edited video sequence with the interesting tunes. I think it's a stand out feature of your videos.

Darien Lake has been in business for over forty years. You would think that in four decades, .six flags could plant a few trees and do some real landscaping. Nope. Just asphalt and queue lines out in the open on concrete. Says a lot about how much respect for their customers

It’s one of the only amusement parks near me and it works for me and my family and we love it every year! My favorite ride is fs the Superman ride of steel

The year The Predator opened, the coaster club I belonged (WNYCC) to was invited to the opening ceremony. A friend and I were coming thru the park from the campsite and walking past the coaster. They were doing a few test runs and we went up to the station and asked if we could ride. They said yes and we got two 2nd seat rides in, sitting behind the park owner and the man who designed the ride. The first year it was open it was a screamer. I will choose Sea Breeze over Darien Lake any day of the week.

I love roller coasters, been to Cedar Point, while I know Darien Lake does not have crazy rides, I hope I never ride enough roller coasters to be as thoroughly unimpressed as the two of you😅

This park is not bad whatsoever, I have season passes as this is my home park, and it is a really nice park. It’s a shockingly great park, the operations are usually not bad, at all. The operators are all kind, and on a non-busy day, they will let you ride multiple times in a row. One time I got stuck right in front of the station on Tantrum, due to lighting, they were all kind, and nice, we were having conversations when stuck. Viper, my favorite ride in the park, is really nice when not in the central-ish seats, the front seats of the section(?) are not rough and don’t toss you around, unlike the previously mentioned seats. Ride of Steel does have a lot more force in the front and back seats, and overall nice. Just as what Airtime Thrills said, this is a surprisingly nice park, with a great supporting cast and nice headliners. They usually run multiple trains on regular days for Viper. The flat rides are all pleasant, including the SkyScreamer. They recently closed Mind Eraser for the season to get new trains, and it’s gonna be a lot better than the previous seasons. I feel like Six Flags isn’t gonna do a lot for now, and although I hope they do add a new coaster, which they really need, they won’t for the next year or two. I feel like this video isn’t doing justice for Darien Lake at all. But hopefully, you guys sometimes revisit and do it some more justice.

I have wanted to go here for a while, but the horror stories about the operations have kept me away. One train on a hyper, not even one train on less busy days, just one train. WTF dude!

Isn't the problem with this park that park operators can't own the property, but has to lease a operations license? Why Invest in new trains, while you can lose your license for park operations? Just wondering...

I’ve been going to Darien lake since 1990. They took out a bunch of rides like the twister ufo long flume grizzly run and the ranger. They used to use 2 trains until a decade ago. The Superman used to take bags last year was the first time they told you to buy a locker. In high school I used to spend a whole day there. Now you go on the rollercoasters and there is nothing left to do.

I grew up/live outside of Buffalo, but haven't been to Darien Lake in probably 22 years. From your and other videos I've watched the park seemed a lot better back then. Not a whole lot has been added since, while multiple attractions have been taken away. That and from what I hear the prices of everything (especially food) have skyrocketed. The current owner doesn't seem to want to invest into the park and is trying to squeeze as much as he can out of visitors. It probably peaked around 2000 when it had the DC and WB tie-ins with the theming.

You are wrong about the Ride of Steel....

Ride of steel is the only six flags ride I know of that doesn’t allow the cups.. their operations are so bad they can’t afford the extra time.

It’s interesting how that park was not a six flags then it was, then not again and now it is again. It seems the laser show is shown too early before dark. I liked it when they had the water skiers at fun lake.

Enjoyed your video, I live like 5 min from Darien lake. It is the largest amusement park in New York state. Good job!

The quality in these videos are getting on the level of coaster studios.

Motocoaster over Ride of Steel is absolutely criminal. I get the ops on Ride of Steel are ASS but I hesitate to call it forceless. The final run of the 3 hills at the end gave me borderline ejector and just today I browned out for the first time ever on the double helix (normally that section of the ride does absolutely nothing for me although I think its the largest helix I've experienced). It is the weakest hyper I've been on but its still in my top 15 because it feels like a nice long ride with satisfying elements and incredibly smooth tracking.

The super man ride of steel used to have 2 trains but they took away the red train and renamed it and also took off the super man logo

So, ummm, what happened to the bottles? They still in the bushes?
