I could say a lot about Darien Lake:
"Wow! What an amazing park!"
"Very cool, the coasters were awesome!"
"Definately a must-hit park!"
Unfortunately, all of those things would be lies. Darien Lake was the worst park I've ever been to coaster-wise, and it's atmosphere wasn't much better. It's now even worth the hour-long drive it takes to get there! Moral of the story: don't bother.
So, now I get the priviledge of showcasing this beautiful (more lies!) park. And remember - never expect anything normal from Tyler. So here goes:
Ride of Steel
This was previously Superman: Ride of Steel. Without the "Superman" tag, it just sounds stupid...
But c'mon, you gotta admit that that's hot...
I seeee youuu!
'Scuse me? I don't think so.
I'm thinking of a word...and it ain't a nice one...
Viper
This pic makes Viper look kinda small...
It really isn't, though. It's actually a decent coaster, too...
Vertical loopage! Arrow looperss are good photo-takers.
That's kinda disorienting...'specially once I tell you that I got an airbrushed tattoo...
Just kidding! Anyways, I've got absolutely no idea what I was going for here...I suppose it was just a walk-by-shooting...get it?
Boomerang
Well, if you didn't find that last caption funny, maybe you'll find the tagline for Boomerang funny...I do...
It's one of the most photogenic rides at the park, and, surprisingly, it wasn't that bad!
Though, the tree doesn't seem to like it...
You've gotta admit, Boomerangs aren't all that bad looking.
*nerd snort*5.2 G'S!!!*nerd snort*
Mind Eraser
Headbanging: check!! Lagging Sensation: check!!
I think that's it's extremely sad when two of the park's most photogenic coaster are both Vekomas...
Parking lot!!!
Predator
You know how they say to save the best for last?
Screw hundred-year-old sayings. This thing was horrible!
It's like those blonde girls...look good, but they're a pain in the *butt*...'cept for this was literally a pain in the *butt*...and everywhere else.
Nature
What's any PTR without squirrels hanging upside-down on bird feeders?
You know how in Evan Almighty he screams "SHEEP!" instead of another word? Well, "DUCK!"
Nature
Onto the semi-nice-looking parts of Darien Lake! This is the midway...
And this is the Top Spin which had the worst cycle ever! With all these beautiful sections, don't ya wanna hurry up to new York and visit?
*Darn*.
And now back to normal Darien Lake. This is the Pirate Ship that didn't provide any forces whatsoever...
The giant ferris wheel is actually pretty nice looking...unfortunately, we didn't go up in it. Probably gives some great views, though!
Zack, this totally *pwns* your Hershey Ferris Wheel picture!
UFO is a thirty-year-old Round-Up ride. The carriages aren't attatched, and the ride rattled and shook like crazy...I'm lucky I'm alive!
*nerd snort*The wheel assembly of Boomerang*nerd snort*
The actual Darien Lake, with all of its beautiful poles and algae...
And I leave you with me, finally finding my Nerd's Rope after three store-searches! I hate taking pictures...
