Six Flags Darien Lake | DEAD New York Theme Park Walk

[@martym61]

Great video. Really enjoyed it Glad you went here. You must have a lot of great memories of this park.

[@johnc4462]

My parents would take me to Darien Lake every year for my Birthday in August. I really enjoyed watching this video. It brought back some great memories!❤

[@JohnnyStrides]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@margd77]

Johnny, thanks for taking us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane with this vist to Darien Lake. The Ride of Steel looks scary! 🎢

[@LIVEinClownWorld]

What happened to "The Grizzly Run"? That ride was my favorite.

[@devinsullivan6160]

Wow, lots of empty roller-coaster carts. LOL at Moose on the Loose, never seen anything like that before 😆

[@Aces77777]

This is getting better and better

[@azamyahmad]

As always beautiful upload .. Merci beaucoup Monsieur

[@JewishMusicToronto]

17:54 B&M's coasters are FANTASTIC. SOOOOOO smooth. Every one of their coaster types I've been on has been great. I particularly enjoyed Gatekeeper at Cedar Point.

[@JohnnyStrides]

They are but... I think I much prefer Intamin hypers. I've been on just 3 but they just bring the intensity in a way B&Ms can't (they're all fantastic though lol).

[@JewishMusicToronto]

@JohnnyStrides I got my first taste of Intamins at Kings Dominion, on Intimidator 305 (so, a Giga, technically). I loved the intensity. But I rode Twisted Timbers the same day (as well as all of the other coasters in the park) and immediately fell in love with RMCs. Intamin makes FANTASTIC coasters, just the same. Maverick and Millennium Force are out of this world.

I haven't been to Darien Lake in 22 years, live about 30 minutes away. I've been watching a lot of videos on it this summer and they really haven't added a lot since then, but a number of attractions have been taken away. It's a shame the current owners don't want to put money into the park to expand it. In the late 90s-early 00s when they kept adding new things Darien was always packed.

[@andrewdonohue1853]

the less they invest in darien lake the more it will dwindle and eventually die. i live in wyoming county, and i rememer how it was when i was a kid. when i was little all there was, was predator and viper. then they started adding, and stopped some time ago

[@cainrac]

Good day, Johnny Strides, thanks much for this & what a nice & dismal day to be touring around on the US side of things! Nice to see that side of the world albeit no far from Niagara Falls, Ontario! Glad you enjoyed it when you were younger, & you are still a kid at heart! Hope you had fun!! Cheers & keep safe!! 🥰🥰🦅🦅

[@KatChanelb12]

Thanks for this positive video! I find DL gets a lot of hate, but it’s a good park. Yes I know it’s no CP, but it fills my heart!

[@JewishMusicToronto]

8:56 Some of Cedar Fair's other parks have some interesting classic loopers that were follow-ups to the original Corkscrew, but I still prefer Dragon Fyre. Guess I'll have to check this one out if I get the chance to visit Darien Lake.

[@adellis24]

Most Americans were already back in school by Aug 30 so it makes sense as to why it was so dead on a rainy midweek day.

[@robertmusgrove4537]

It’s like that most of the time lately

[@andrewdonohue1853]

kids dont go back until after labor day in sept

[@CityWalks_Estelle]

I try my best with this love to see some more later at night livestreams occasionally I miss them but I always watch the replays Dam time difference is the only reason I’m not there & the other guys to I appreciate you guys a lot for reaching out etc thx 😊

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

The rides look fun! Nice variety❤🎉😊

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

Wow cold and gloomy looking No wonder it was slow😮

[@robertmusgrove4537]

It was probably slower because of the weather but this park never gets a big crowd anymore

[@JadeEverduske]

The single train operation is active throughout the year. Was the most asinine decision they have ever made and makes wait lines ridiculously long during peak times.

[@JohnnyStrides]

That genuinely sucks!

[@JadeEverduske]

Indeed it does. Luckily for us locals, Cedar Point, OH is only a 3 to 4 hour drive away. Difference in experience is like night and day. @@JohnnyStrides

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

That moose is better than the merry go roundEven though the Merry go round is pretty😊❤

[@devinlatshaw1524]

Ahh good old Darien lake, you were not that far from me! Seen breaking benjamin and chevelle there. The predator back when i went there was a pretty rough ride and they tried to smooth it out, not sure what more you can do with a wooden one lol

[@dylanreynolds8264]

good morning everyone

[@CityWalks_Estelle]

Good morning Dylan hope you have a good day & thanks for being a long time nearly 4 year viewer it’s appreciated 😊

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

At the CNE we have the flying bob's I think they went forward and the polar xpress went backwards and you get painfully squished on one side😢❤🎉😊

[@brentsarazin6597]

I wish you would have filmed you on the Steel rollercoaster right at the front. Gloomy day but makes for quick access to the rides. It was a bit sad that the Batting Cage seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur now...TY

[@JohnnyStrides]

No cameras allowed on the rides unfortunately.

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

On a day like this?One may desire a hot Monte Cristo coffee😂❤🎉😊 and a roof😊

[@k9feces]

Six flags New England also had someone fly off the Superman coaster 🚀

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

Outrageous price either American or Canadian just fir a reg coffee?I would SO bring my own thermis of "special coffee"😂😊❤

[@sheridan7490]

Wow that was a blast! Do you think might ever do Canada’s Wonderland? Thanks and be well :O)

[@JohnnyStrides]

I'll try to record it next season.

[@sheridan7490]

@@JohnnyStrides Fabulous!!

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

Awesome am I too big to ride the loose Moose❤🎉😊😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

I mean It looks like a storm is coming😮

[@taconicboy8360]

Mr strides have you walked the streets of the country that is south of Canada?

[@JohnnyStrides]

Many a time... but not yet with camera in hand.

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

I prefer Go Carts❤🎉😊 They dont hurt like bumper cars If you have lower back or hip issues😮

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

Oh my god! Condolences 😢😮for that tragedy😢😢😂😢

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

If the food is FAB then its worth the price but not for Wings😮I would backpack a couple of meals and only buy a treat At those expensive prices not smart Not everyone goes ON RIDES! Sometimes we just pay for them but it sure would BE GREAT! To enjoy a decent priced meal and a beer or cocktail At the end of the day

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

This is why one must obey height,age and weight restriction's and operator's must exercise these rules for safetyAs sad as that info was For those of us that were ignorant of that tragedy that took that disabled veteran's life It is a good thing you made it common knowledge for any amputee's attempting the same sort of ride in the future Who would then choose another "safer ride"❤

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

Ok but are you alright?

[@JewishMusicToronto]

Are you INTO coasters? If so, were going to have to figure out how to get you in a collab with Amusement Insiders.

[@yeeaahhzz]

man mf mister strides is obbbbviously a thoosiee

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

Where us the booze can?

[@JoniMitchell-qi6hr]

Short but sweet I said "that's it?" Must go around TWICE🎉😂😂😂❤😊 Then it would be SO SWEET🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Change it please?😮

[@JimMork]

I don't like the looks of some of those rides. Looks like a meth alternative.
