Worst Operations In the Country?? Six Flags Darien Lake Vlog & Review 2024

[@CalvinTheCat8576]

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

[@aWafflegod6050]

It’s such an underrated park! It would get so much better reviews if they captilized on all of there land! They just need to add some fresh stuff and not close half the park for fright fest!

[@dgharet1210]

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

[@ropeyzkittlez9703]

it hasn't expanded at all, in fact they closed off a huge part of it and sold out the campgrounds so you cant even enter through that part anymore forcing you to pay to enter and extra for parking or walk even farther, closed down rides, sanitation in the pools is at all time lows, garbage all over, discriminate marijuana use, but allow alcohol and cigarettes, removed giant ship in hook lagoon past 4 years now, oh and its cashless now, sure you can exchange for a card at a machine, but that forces you to either use all that money or it goes to them, oh an you top that off with nobody wanting to work and everything is deserted, food stands, games

[@adamhout4271]

Exactly. They haven't done much of anything with it at all. In fact, they have removed a lot of things that I loved. The Twister was one of my favorite rides there. That's gone. The Grizzly Run gone, the old batting cages are just sitting there rotting. It took like 20 years for a new Rollercoaster to finally come with the Tantrum. Half the park is always closed every time you go now. There's just no expansion or nothing new at all. The park has been bland for so long. I still go there because it's the closest park to me. But Cedar Point puts this park to shame

[@_BillsMafia_]

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.

[@BeachcliffStudios]

You are definitely allowed to enjoy your home park. We just have a little bit of a differing opinion. We do like the park though

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.

[@andrewdonohue1853]

i remember grizzly run, used to also be a cuda falls (i believe they took that out). this park is a reflection of the local area which also sucks. just badly ran democrat cities. i live in wyoming co, i would love to leave but i cant afford to sell my house and relocate. i have little nice to say about NYS

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

[@BeachcliffStudios]

​@@CameronForrester not sure what your statement has to do with my comment lol

[@5ch3nk]

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.

[@Fallenslayer1]

right there with you grew up in the east side of buffalo left when i was 13 funnily enough that was the last year i went to darien lake that was 23 years ago and the park seems so much smaller now but nicer looking still cant believe they took out grizzly run and the log fume rides and i have heard how badly the prices hiked from family in the area.

[@SaraAB87]

.The prices pretty much ensure that I am never going back to this park. I am not buying seasons passes. $30 parking is totally outrageous for this area. Its not even that much to park at Disney or Canada's Wonderland. Its not even that much to park on Clifton hill in Ontario one of the biggest tourist destinations in the region, its like $10-15 in CAD. The level of income that everyone makes in this area is not equivalent to the prices that this park charges. I agree that it peaked in the early 2000's. They did take a lot of things out including the ferris wheel and didn't replace it with a new one. They removed several other rides and did not replace them. If they replaced the wheel with another that would be ok, and if they replaced rides that were removed that would be ok. But I've like, never seen a park without a ferris wheel and the fact that this park is missing one is a big problem

[@kostontubehd3693]

I’ve been local to the park my whole life. Late 90’s and early 00’s it peaked and died hard after. The park doesn’t do anything well. Kids rides are lacking, thrill rides are lacking intensity and Ops. I’m about 20 mins away and haven’t had seasons in 7-8 years. We opted instead for CP seasons and go a few days every month over summer

[@emilybrown3288]

I worked at Darien Lake as a teen. They trained us for about 5 hrs. Even the ride operators. That's why operations aren't great. No one knows what they're doing. Someone let a man with no legs ride the ride of steel when I worked there and he flew off and died. It was very sad. Operation error to allow him on 😢

[@BeachcliffStudios]

Yup, that’s a very infamous accident

[@LITMOVIESCENES]

5 hr training lol

[@sabretooth1997]

SFDL is nominally my home park but since 2019 my girlfriend and I have made the conscious decision to adopt Canada's Wonderland as our home park. Making the trek to Toronto 2-3x a month is worth it to visit a top-tier park that [usually] has good operations and coasters that are properly maintained and don't ride like they're dragging something behind them; nor do they treat 'one train ops' like some kind of holy grail that other parks can only desire to achieve. It also actually sees investment and year-over-year increases in the total number of attractions and actually seems to have a future. All that said, I must concede that Canada's Wonderland does not, in fact, feature a Moose on the Loose. Considering how heavy they've been leaning into "Canadian" theming over the past several years, you'd think that would be something they'd want. It could also use a few decent mid-tier coasters, but one thing at a time.

[@DarkbutNotsinister]

We got season passes every year for Christmas. Moms would drop everyone off & pick us back up at 9:00. My husband kissed me for the first time on the Ferris wheel! We were 16, now married 27 years. It was awesome being raised feral & unsupervised.

[@fireworks990]

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.

[@CosterLovingFam]

We are in the middle of an 11 Park family vacation and just went to Six Flags America. We preferred Six Flags Darrian Lake over SF America. Darrian Lake had some charm, and the ride ops were fun. We did both the water park and rides in one day, and still left before the park closed. SF America is the first park we felt bored at. 😊

[@BeachcliffStudios]

What a fun trip. We almost went to America one time but didn’t have the time but we hear it’s very lack luster

[@davidpatriot1082]

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

[@MikeFlatley-d5z]

Do you know why

[@shannonparnell6843]

Six flags has the rights to Superman, they left Darien Lake in the mid 00s so the park had to adjust the name to Ride of Steel and took the Superman branding off. Six flags now operates it again but they haven't switched the name back or brought in any DC properties back either

[@naomivought9317]

Because a man died on it and six flags pulled out. It was closed for like 2 years. Then reopened with the name ride of steel.

[@maryb.3726]

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

[@BeachcliffStudios]

Thanks for checking it out

[@jeffmartin1026]

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.

[@videoaddict100]

“It’s not a fun ride, am I wrong”? Let’s go on it again!

[@BeachcliffStudios]

Exactly. We need multiple rides on things to get a full idea of it and we’re at these parks so we get multiple rides unless the ride is painful.

[@Novakiller]

Most people complain about that piece of straight track. I love it only because of the different way you transition into the airtime Hill. It’s more like a launch ramp than the normal parabolic entry into the airtime hill. it hits harder!🤘

[@sabretooth1997]

Also, you skipped Corn Popper? (Or was it not operating?) I have to wonder how much longer that ride has to live. Quite often the brakes don't work so it has to coast to a stop. It also tends to sound like it's about to explode - you can literally hear it from anywhere in the park if you know what you're listening for - but that only adds to the thrill.

[@BeachcliffStudios]

Don’t know what corn popper is

[@sabretooth1997]

​@BeachcliffStudios It's the Huss "swing-around" behind you around the 24 minute mark as you were leaving Tantrum. It's a fairly rare find. I could see a few blue shirts near the control shed but perhaps it wasn't open as it looked idle and nobody in the queue. Par for the course, sadly.

[@davecoasterdudew1206]

I finally went to Cedar Point yesterday, I got plenty of room on Millennium Force test seat and actual ride in the red train. One time used double belts for Raptor, and also without. Did Power Tower both sides, My shin guards and my hips are very sore, so did Blue Streak.

[@CaptainAtria]

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. I adored viper when I rode for the first time in 2023 but it beat me up pretty bad today, more than just on the batwing although that was the worst part. I share your opinions on tantrum and and predator although I might be tripping but I think I experienced a twinge of airtime on the drop on predator today.

[@sabretooth1997]

I see Motocoaster as just the world's most boring and forceless Wild Mouse. I also agree that the last few hills on RoS are the best; it loses too much speed over the big camelback and is in fact prone to valleying before it in light loads. I learned once there that they won't dispatch a train with under 1/2 load because of that. I also hold the evidently unpopular opinion that RoS at Six Flags America is better. That one runs out through a wooded area and that alone gives you a much better illusion of speed than SFDL's unkempt lawn areas do.

[@CaptainAtria]

@@sabretooth1997 I haven't been to sfa but I can see how that version of the ride could be better. I do like the visual of speeding by the water on the straight track but some more trees could help sell the effect better for sure

[@sabretooth1997]

@@CaptainAtria Honestly, though, I wouldn't recommend SFA unless you're in the area for some other reason. We only went because we happened to be visiting family in Baltimore. We didn't have all day to spend, but it was enough. It was good enough to go and pick up the good credits. Ride of Steel is again the standout (IMO, and with 2 trains!!!), Wild One is a good classic woody but rough, and Firebird must be the roughest B&M that has ever operated. The Batwing (Vekoma Flying Dutchman) is good if you like the idea of trying to keep your butt tight to a toilet mounted on a wall with the tank end high - I can't think of a better way to describe it. Didn't hurt and would have been a neat experience - but it was just simply uncomfortable in an awkward sense. Also a very strange and distended linear park layout. It's like someone designed it in RCT and just kept adding on and forgot to add alternate paths to the front.

Its not a park I'd recommend people come from far away to visit but I enjoy it as a home park. Superman is very good and I think every other ride is decent at best. Its an okay experience

[@sabretooth1997]

I once timed dispatches while waiting in line (in 2021 if I recall; haven't ridden it since) and came up with a max hourly throughput of 292 guests per hour. (My numbers were 8 cycles in 52.2 minutes - I still have the note on my phone lol.) That also assumes a fully loaded train every time, which as we all know most certainly wasn't the actual case. So the real number was probably somewhere closer to 275-280. Consider that most flat rides and kiddie rides put that performance to shame. Part of the problem should be attributed to nobody enforcing the test seat, with another large part of the problem being Intamin's notorious inability to make a decent restraint (and the fact that Ride of Steel is a bit of a Frankencoaster as it was Intamin's first real attempt at a hyper, iirc). At least one of those dispatches took about 12 minutes and the restraints all had to be reset at least 3 times.

Darian Lake sucks. They should just close it. It's so ghetto. Nothing new has been built in like 20 yrs. It's boring there. Rather drive to PA and goto Hershey Park. Or drive to six flags New England or Jersey. Those are worth the drive.

I’m sure a lot of locals would be upset if it closed.

@@BeachcliffStudios It has too much going for it to be closed, because there is a campground and concert hall on the property which is what most people go for. Its a full resort. Even if they did close up the them park and remove rides, I can't see them ever closing the campground and concert hall. Its one of the only venues in the region that attracts world class performers. It wouldn't be a good idea to close it up because that would be a lot of lost revenue for the surrounding communities. As much as I don't like this place (and I don't go there anymore) its never a good idea to close a major attraction. If I don't like it, then I don't have to go there, but I am fine with letting others enjoy it if that is what they want to do. Its not the best use of people's money, but they have to decide for themselves where their money goes. Other local businesses would suffer if it closed. When Fantasy island closed the businesses on Grand Island suffered greatly and some were even talking about closing up or moving locations so its not good for the community when something like this closes, not only does it cause loss of revenue from the closed attraction but it causes local businesses to close up and creates a downward spiral which is never a good thing. Maybe just lower the prices so the cost is more appropriate for the area's income level and what is at the park given that they removed a bunch of things and never replaced them but they continue to charge more each year both for admission and parking. If they did that I would have more respect for the park.
