So nice. It kind of reminds me of Geauga Lake. Miss Geauga so so much.
@Valhalen7166 жыл бұрын
Ty Hanes it was owned by Funtime, premier, and Six Flags at the same times as Geauga and so it was a sister park! I really love this place
@alltimelowbro2275 жыл бұрын
Since the park is gonna be apart of the six flags chain I can totally see a rebranded name Six Flags Great Lakes

Thank you for this. Was very nostalgic. It really hasn’t changed too much over the years. I grew up going to this park during the summers of my youth. We used to have family reunions and camp out and go in the park during the day. They had laser light shows and concerts (with lots of big name artists) at night. The Predator was my very first roller coaster. Since I wasn’t actually tall enough to ride, (I was prob two inches short), and my dad really wanted me to experience a roller coaster, he snuck me thru the entrance while my uncle distracted the other guy. I remember literally standing up straight while going down the first hill. Thought i was going to fall out. But after that roller coasters were and always have been my favorite ride.

Thanks for the walk and presentation of the park. Actually the concept of the Moto Coaster goes back to Dutch manufacturer Vekoma. They built the prototype for that ride at Toverland in the Netherlands. The coaster at Darien Lake is actually by Italian constructor Zamperla.
@AbsurdAlan6 жыл бұрын
The entrance to the Grizzly Run is actually down by the entrance to the concert venue, not down the same pathway to Mind Eraser.

@georgeoliver47046 жыл бұрын
Good tour of a very nice-looking park. I'm impressed with how open it feels, more like a real park with rides. However, now that Six Flags has bought it again, it will probably change back to a corporate park, which for me is not better. For one thing, they'll probably get more food chains. They'll probably cram more rides in where there are open spaces and trees. They might change Moose on the Loose to some superhero name. And I'll bet your coaster picture won't be $3.95. As an independent park, I would have visited it; as Six Flags, I probably won't.
@jayducharme6 жыл бұрын
That's my fear as well. But considering that Six Flags hasn't technically "bought" the park (they're leasing it), I'm hoping that they might use a lighter touch (as they're now doing with Great Escape) and retain the unique character of Darien.

My advice is to NEVER attend a concert at Darien Lake. Too ,any drunks, eight dollars for a bottle of water. Exiting the concert takes hours and the DWI check points make traffic even more of a nightmare. Darien Lake used to be nice when the pavilions were open to the public, pack a cooler, pick a table, go on the rides , head back to the pavilion for lunch and dinner. Now that Six Flags bought it again, prices will jump, customer service will go to hell. You won’t catch me there.
