Way too iconic. Darien Lake, with all due respect, DON’T YOU DARE REMOVE RIDE OF STEEL

[@jamesparkerjr5539]

Darien Lake is 30 min from my house. You can't understand how sad the park looked/operated last season unless you had the misfortune of visiting. After a year off, the park opened in a state of complete disrepair. It only slightly improved as the season went on. The park lost multiple attractions and barely operated most others. It's been in decline for years, but last season was a new low.

[@kylebetz9684]

Darien Lake is by far the most depressing and the worst amusement park I’ve ever been to. The only reason to go there at all is for Ride Of Steel.

[@nathanlamoreaux1272]

Ride of Steel got a brand new train from Intamin in 2016. Even though they only bought one train, I have a hard time believing that train is already at the end of its service life.

[@FLXCoasters]

SF Darien Lake made a comment stating basically that this rumor is not true. That this is one of their signature attractions that they are proud to feature as a current and part of their long term future.

[@roxynano]

The rumor must be big if Coaster Studios is covering it.

[@jvillagrana87]

The park just Tweeted “Hello! Ride of Steel is one of our signature attractions and we're proud to feature it now and as part of our long-term future.”

[@shanedenmark5536]

Herschend was actually the best management of Darien Lake between Six Flags runs. They installed the entire Rowdy’s Ridge area, cleaned up the Boardwalk area, I think they did the Splashtown waterpark expansion, and they built a bunch of cabins in the campground. There was even preliminary plans to RMC Predator. Herschend wanted to buy Darien Lake but the owners wanted to sell the entire amusement park & water park portfolio as a single unit. Herschend bailed because of that. Of course years later some of the parks were sold off individually. Anyway- Darien Lake is a shithole and a shell of its former self. They don’t need new rides right now. They need to fix up what they have, get back to two train ops on all coasters that can run two trains, repair infrastructure, get the campground and hotel up to par, make the park nice again. THEN look into new attractions. But the other big issue they always have is staffing. Being in the middle of nowhere makes it really hard to properly staff the park.

[@scottyjbd]

What years did Herschend run the park?

[@jamesparkerjr5539]

Well said.. I know you are a local as well. It was SO BAD last year. It's almost impossible to describe to anyone who didn't experience it. Sad sad sad.

[@RayDLX]

If they tear this down they can kiss the whole park goodbye. It will run them out of business unless they replace it with another star attraction. Superman is the only reason even the GP go to this park, let alone coaster enthusiasts...

[@VinceHere98]

There is NO WAY they'll be removing Ride of Steel anytime soon. That ride is the staple attraction of Darien Lake, and removing it is TOTALLY out of the question. If anything they should just add a second train.

[@55SuperShadow]

Exactly. Darien is my home park and if they removed ROS I won't be visiting anymore. I already have a hard enough time justifying even just one visit a year with how sad a state the park is in.

[@amusementscape]

There’s no way this train reached the end of its service life, it’s only 5 years old and has only operated for 4 seasons. A lot of this rumor is off base and I don’t know who started it. Also, this park has to get most of its money invested into it from SF because they don’t fully own some of their parks like La Ronde, SFOG, and SFOT

[@IronManiac]

I hate to say this but what I've heard from people I know within the park this is actually pretty legit. It's fucked up ngl.

[@ThousanWhite]

Darien Lake is sooo close to being a significant destination spot for more people to visit. -Put in a new flat ride in the place of the ugly skeleton of the Giant Wheel (like a Zamperla Nebulaz) -Get Predator fully retracked (or RMC'd) -Update/add the restraints/trains for Mind Eraser (a la Riddle Revenge at SFNE) -Potentially add one more mid sized coaster that's good with the GP like a Premier Rides launch coaster that doesn't take up too much space, that could go a long way. -Second train for Ride of Steel -Second train for Viper It's a solid park and has just a few (albeit expensive) tweaks away from being a destination area for more enthusiasts and even employees to travel to and check out.

[@killermudmonkey]

My stupid idea is if it goes they should stick it next to Superman at Six Flags America to make it a racing coaster.

[@JulianDale94]

Glad I already visited Darien Lake a few months ago! Ride of Steel is arguably the state's best coaster, so it would have to be a major pain in the ass for the park to remove it.

[@Vansmackable]

This is pretty surprising. It’s not only the best ride, it gives the park a big time look as you drive up.

[@T431nkn0wnreal]

The park confirmed this to be 1000% fake. The ride will stay for several years to come

[@jackquinn8028]

it would just be idiotic to remove your staple attraction. It’s like Cedar Point removing Steel Vengence, Lagoon removing Cannibal, Magic Mountain removing twisted colossus. It’s crazy to think a park would even consider this.

[@pecemakor917]

Magic mountain has 2 elite coasters, so removing X2 would also be dumb, even worse than removing TC Imo.

[@empyre9534]

….or Top Thrill Dragster?

[@alexlamb7904]

If they remove ride of steel, I won’t be attending Darien Lake anymore. It’s my home park but RoS is by far the best ride in the park. It makes the trip worth it imo. Hope six flags realize this is a terrible mistake if the rumors are true. It seems like this park could do well just by upgrading their current line of coaster instead of spending big money on anything new at the moment.

[@mandobrickz69]

This is basically my home park and I’ve rid this coaster the most and have 50 more rides till my 100th ride. The Ride of Steel breaks down very often and will close for extended periods of time like at the beginning of last season a wheel malfunctioned causing a part of one of the cars to partly derail and damage to that car.

[@CoasterStudios]

interesting- did not know that

[@mandobrickz69]

Sometimes the operators forget to unlock the restraints and dispatch’s are super slow and take a long time. Along with them not being aware of their surroundings

[@amusementscape]

I was involved in reporting that rumor. I heard that one of the wheel axles broke to some extent due to neglect, and the ride got stuck on the break run. They replaced it pretty quickly and got it up and running the next weekend.

[@kaylawhipple7570]

I'm really hoping this remains just a rumor and it just disappears. The new train on Mind Eraser sounds like it would be helpful but with no replacement really, I can't imagine this place surviving much after that. RoS is too important not to be replaced by something as equally large. Heck, it's one of the only coasters I can get my family on.

[@barstoolmehlville]

If they are relocating it, find some land in St. Louis to put it. They need a top-tier hyper coaster.

[@coastaku1954]

I love Ride of Steel, it's a really underated coaster with really powerful turns. I actually like flat turns, especially that first one after the drop, you're so low to the ground and right over a lake, it's also really forceful, similar to the other helixes, it really makes you feel like you're flying~ I also love the straight track as others pointed out, it's meant to feel like you're flying, give you a sense of speed, I like it. This ride is in my Top 15 and I would really miss it if it closed...

[@LilDiabloRob]

Dang!! I never got a chance to ride it lol

[@thegravatrax6461]

I'm only a few hours from Darien Lake but I don't think I'll go unless explicitly invited. Ride ops were pretty rough last year and with this in mind sort of just adds to the reasons why I might as well invest in going a bit further to Hershey Park or even Canadas Wonderland.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I am going to a lot of Six Flags parks this year, but Darien is not one of them. Based on this, I will not be riding Ride of Steel ever. Luckily, I’ll get to Six Flags America!

It is just a rumor though. I'd recommend watching wnys video too since he probably has the most knowledge on the park (that's known to the public)

I really don't think they'll remove it. I do however think itll be left SBNO until budget is better. I suspect they'll buy new trains for mind eraser with a repaint/retheme and still a predator gci titan track ginnepig. The place needs some work. Honestly I know six flags doesn't "own" it. But a small investment like trains would surely help with money.

What this is easily there best ride. I was actually just thinking about this because i was planning a trip to sfa and the clone is there. Unless they replace it with an intamin blitz, Rmc ground up hybrid or hyper coaster from any manufacturer like mack or b and m I think this will drop to possibly last place out of major six flags parks

There probably gonna get a big expansion if it actually gets removed, there’s no way they would remove a $12 million coaster and not have a huge replacement.

unless it's because they can't afford to run it anymore- then they likely won't have the money for a decent replacement (for the time being)

[@espigames7251]

I believe the reason why they might be looking to work on predator might be they want to avoid accidents like we had in our home park of Great Adventure with El Toro last year. The ride hasn’t reopened again since it derailed.

[@ArrowLooper]

They're working on it because they already got into a lawsuit over it

[@hedgehogcoasters7239]

Tbh Darien lake is probably in the worst condition of all the six flags parks (except la ronde). When you have a ride like moose on the loose in your top 5 rides (still awesome), ya know that the park is in trouble. Removing ride of steel is basically removing half of the crowd from the park.

[@hedgehogcoasters7239]

@Patrick Holland that's what I'm saying. Ride of steel at Darien lake is what attracts most of the parks guests

[@barbarabornholdt2854]

They removed the big wheel and the entire area where moose on the loose and the grizzly run rapids are was closed last year. If they remove this ride, there is no hope for this park. Saddens me, I remember the park in the 80s and 90s when it was spectacular!

Also I’ll say like you, just close it and let it sit until hopefully sold to a company that wants to invest into the park🤞 Side note, I love the straight section of track. So cool on a hot summer night and this thing just flies over the lake as you get ready for the best airtime moment on the ride!

I don't see Ride of Steel being retired for maintenance reasons, as it isn't that old, isn't an unreliable design, and parts are readily available for it. However, if Six Flags is considering terminating their management of Darien Lake, I could see them purchasing and removing the ride for reuse at a different Six Flags property. Would it sink the park? Probably not, but it would leave a sizable hole in the lineup.

[@ItsSiebay]

[@cedarmagic2316]

If Ride of Steel is going to be removed (which my guess it would not be removed, & its my fav coaster at the park) that means in my opinion either: 1 - The whole park would be closed/scrapped & never been seen again or 2 - The Park would be another Michigan's Adventure but for Six Flags & without any thrilling attractions.

[@bbbbbb111]

Superman may be a very popular coaster among enthusiasts. But the typical John Doe tends to be put off by something like that. Intimidator 305 is the most extreme example of this. Extremely popular with enthusiasts but largely ignored by regular park visitors. And these regular park guests are the ones the parks make money off of. These guests eat a lot, buy merchandise, generally spend quite a lot of money and can also be satisfied with less spectacular and therefore cheaper rides. From a financial point of view, it makes perfect sense to part with Superman. With a pier to stroll along the lake, with shops and restaurants, you probably have lower costs and higher income than with an elaborate hypercoaster. Disney is the best example of how you can make a lot of money with something like this. So it's only natural that other parks follow suit.

Given Darien Lake’s unlucky history and Six Flags’ legacy of godawful decision-making, I honestly think this would destroy the theme park; it’d be hard to gather any sort of attendance without this ride.

[@christopherg7098]

This park sucks now, sorry, but none of the owners gave two shits about doing things to increase visitors to the park. They tell you they don't want to invest because it doesn't get enough visitors, but you can't put the cart before the horse! Big new attractions increase visitors, from all over the region and the country, which in turn leads to more revenue which gives you capital to install another attraction and the cycle starts again. A used "new" water slide is a joke and a cop out. If the owners don't grasp all that, I don't know what to say. When I saw they were removing the Giant Wheel without having any plans to replace it or upgrade it, that was the last straw, me and my wife decided to not renew our season passes for our family, after 15 years. It's sad, but I'm tired of giving money to investment firms that don't care about the park, but only about lining their pockets.

Technically Six Flags can’t close down Frontier City or Darien Lake, all they do is manage the parks. They don’t own any of the equipment on the properties unless they’ve added minor things like the skyscreamer at Darien. If they closed the park down they could…but all off the rides and attractions would be just sitting there.
