Well this is new... Why do they need extra platform? They had this in the front and back of the station...

The kiddie coaster stalled :eek: It sat there all day Friday... But Saturday it was back up and running...

Darien Lakes water park looks really good. The topsy turvy slides look really fun. I hope more parks in the US, other than Darien Lake and Seaworld buy some. I have a question though. At Aquatica, inside the funnel they're rough, to slow you down I guess. What about here?

Great pictures. I love the new slides at the waterpark. Boomerang looks great, with the new paint and Viper. I think its cool to see a coaster stall, because whenever are you going to see it again, like I went to SFFT 2009 opening day and Goliath was stalled after the last corkscrew, but it was really windy so that was the cause. Darien Lake looks fun as always, and will be there one day..

Yes they do... its not all that bad as long as your not the person who touches there butt to the slide haha! But when you realize how far you go up the walls it makes it seem better. And the best part is sometimes you could end up coming out backwards!!!

I like it too. And as for the picture i like it too... Though i would of really liked the picture of the loop if i was not lazy and i waited for the next train. Because i actually accidently took that picture of the loop. I was going to take a quick clip (which i ended up getting) But it was a close call i was able to switch it to video before the train started to go around the curve. At this point in the pic the train was just about at the top of the hill which is behind the tree..
