Mind Eraser at Six Flags Darien Lake will be closed the entitreity of the 2024 for a significant renovation project. This follows suit with many of the other SLCs in the chain, including the other Mind Eraser at Six Flags America, also receiving upgrades in the past few years. The ride will receive two new trains, a new paint job, and some re-profiling work. Concurrently, rumors have arose that there could be even more to come for this area of the park.

I agree they should do it black and purple , and you always have such great ideas wish they would listen to you. Not going this year but I hope to get back there in 2025 and experience the new mind eraser.

@zaidarodriguez8455 4 месяца назад

Actually, it’s green and purple in the thumbnail.

@markvolpe2305 4 месяца назад

I think it all depends on if they're going to theme it or not, the green and purple would be good if they're theming it to the Joker if Six Flags decides to bring the DC comics back into the park.

@zaidarodriguez8455 4 месяца назад

Now that Mind Eraser is getting improvements, I’m hoping Ride of Steel will get improvements, too, like getting a second train and maybe renaming it back to Superman: Ride of Steel.

@amusementscape 4 месяца назад

I did hear some rumors about that happening, would be the next logical move!

@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214 4 месяца назад

I've ridden one SLC, Mind Eraser at SFA. I didn't know it was the most literal name ever as it erased my mind.😵‍💫 Having said that, nice to hear a SLC is getting a refurb but YOU FIRST! 🤣

@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214 4 месяца назад

I get it.

@exinobelgonzalez2874 4 месяца назад

This parks whole ownership situation really sets back it's improvements. Epr properties, the park owner, foots the bill when it's time for an upgrade to the park. It would nice is sf would buy it back, the park looks like it's still sruck in it's premier parks days. With the whole cf merger who knows what will happen.

@markvolpe2305 4 месяца назад

I've also been saying that for years now, but they have put money in the park this past off-season with more Titan Track on Predator (about 900ft.), replaced 3 sections of track on the Boomerang, and made repairs to The Big Kahuna waterslide and doing all that without removing anything lol.

@Carter-nl2 11 дней назад

It’s not getting re tracked unfortunately they just repainted it and gave it new trains

@andrewdonohue1853 3 месяца назад

i live in wymoning county in NY, that far from darien lake. we have had season passes in the past. the cost has gone up significantly and the content has become stale, it's the same old same old. it is good to see them finally do something with this park

@RochesterScuba 2 месяца назад

I paid appx 500 for 5 passes and one dining plan last year. To get the same value, it would be 1850. Darien lake is also a dump compared to the other parks.

@Spike-sk7ql 4 месяца назад

You know what...... if this bit works out well, I kinda hope that it catches on and more parks fix their SLC's in the near future. Honestly, the SLC layout is pretty good. The Mind Eraser that was at Geauga Lake (currently at Michigan's Adventure I think) actually rode quite decent, and it was enjoyable.

@markvolpe2305 4 месяца назад

Question is, would it be worth it for a park like Canada's Wonderland to do the same thing for Flight Deck, another horrible SLC?

@Spike-sk7ql 4 месяца назад

@@markvolpe2305 Canada's wonderland should have removed that, and the zamperla torture device a long time ago. That park is one of the best performing parks in the chain, and yet has those 2 TERRIBLE rides. It's actually a shame.

@MrSRArter 4 месяца назад

6:45 They could replace it with a Zamperla Super Flumez and family coaster combo like the ones at Luna Park NY and Adventureland in Iowa and still have room.

@amusementscape 4 месяца назад

I think that’s a great idea! Another family coaster would be nice, plus another water ride would certainly be appreciated

@chiefbeef6251 Месяц назад

I rode mind eraser in 2023 and i personally think the layout has tons of potential that gets squandered by the restrains and track profiling. It's a super fun experience with some pretty intense elements and a lot of cool near miss moments But it was just hard for me to want to come back to it and re-ride. It's not exactly easy to run in line for a ride that'll inevitably leave you with a headache. and this is coming from someone who loves rough, out of control feeling rides like Predator all in all I'm super excited that this ride gets to live up to its full potential also i appreciate the fact that theyre giving it two train ops. the line got pretty long sometimes on busy days and will definitely be longer after the upgrades. and as bad as DL's operations are, I cant see them running one train all the time like they do with tantrum, because theyre going out of their way to buy two and only running one would be a massive waste of money

@ItsSiebay 4 месяца назад

Six Flags Darien Lake and America are basically sister parks, so when they announced this for America, I knew Darien Lake’s wouldn’t be long after.

@TheCoasterSerpent 4 месяца назад

I love how they specified two trains, its like they see that running a hyper with one train hurts the park's attendance and reputation.

@coasterfair2602 4 месяца назад

I could see Six Flags doing similar to SFA with their former Mind Easer just not that heavy themed if that makes sense

@johnfoltz8183 4 месяца назад

They already repainted it and hopefully new trains from Vekoma

@history_leisure 4 месяца назад

Maybe they could take a look at Wildwood Grove for Rowdy's Ridge and take the woodland/mountain vibe into account (maybe a connection to the Willow Lake named that Google calls the pond adjacent to the ride). Kids coaster kind of in the way for the path, but could easily move it to Mind Eraser Plaza. Tantrum, Viper, and adjacent kids area into Country Fair, Steamtown anchored by Sky Screamer and Motocoaster, Predator and Ride of Steel into DC Universe, Hurricane Harbor, and then the front bit could be rethemed to reflect the Western New York cities in their prime, with a new area eventually replacing their splash boats and original water park

@Biosynthnut 4 месяца назад

Mind Eraser renovation should have happened years ago. My only hope, is Viper gets the same treatment, and new Vekoma trains. I can only hope.

@johnfoltz8183 4 месяца назад

They show rename the coaster to Professor Freebish Electric Roller Ride if they decide to go the Steampunk route

@alexlamb7904 4 месяца назад

Like the upgrades in the park, would love to see the blacktop disappear and the idea of themed areas would be awesome. Where ME sits there’s just nothing, long walk across a bridge for one ride then right back over the bridge. In a perfect world they could build up that area and maybe make it a loop that connects else where to the park

@RochesterScuba 2 месяца назад

That would take money to do. They dont want to spend money on this park. Great adventure has added a roller coaster a year for the last couple years. They also maintain the park.

@ThousanWhite 4 месяца назад

Great news! Unfortunately I get the perception that a lot of the GP won't even know or care and they'll still skip the coaster, no matter what improvements they do to it. So stubborn! :(

@amusementscape 4 месяца назад

Hopefully they’ll market it well so they understand!

@Spike-sk7ql 4 месяца назад

They could always do what they did with Great Noreaster. They ran ads saying it was so smooth that even your granny can ride it. Then they had a bunch of grannies ride it for a commercial.

@Psiaramis 2 месяца назад

Well as of 8/16 they have started painting Mind Eraser, and it looks like they are definitely keeping the red track, and likely the turquoise supports.

Man my luck is running out this year. Both Steel Curtain and Mind Eraser closed after I planned to go there, but before I could ride them. Hopefully this means Ride of Steel will have some new changes too in the future and I will have a new renovated credit!

@christopherg7098 2 месяца назад

Six Flags will continue to do the bare minimum they need to keep the open. Just enough to keep the they are a theme park. They have removed so many rides they have not been replaced, because the property is so unimportant to the Six Flags portfolio. Who knows, by next year maybe they will just have park open on Tuesdays and Saturdays and they will burn the Predator to the fround

@@markvolpe2305 Not sure what the plan is for Flight Deck. But, tracks for the new 2025 coaster is supposd to be arriving in a month or 2 at the park.
