Six Flags Darien Lake

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

Ok so.

I have been going to six flags : darien lake for about 12 years now.

It's my entire childhood.

Last summer, they announced that Darien Lake was bankrupt and was going to have all its rides sold seperately.

I almost cried.
Then, the original owner bought it back and this year its now "Darien lake Resort"

BUT.
The rides used to be Looneytunes and Superman/Batman/Wonderwoman type things.

I bought pants, shirt, necklaces AND A CAPE for the superman ride.
They even gave me a dog tag for riding it the second most times in a day.

I go to check the website today.
guess what.

ITS NOT SUPERMAN ANYMORE...
Its :"Ride Of Steel"

I have never felt such a sense of loss.
It will just never be the same.

R.I.P. Six Flags Darien lake.

Anything from your childhood been violently ripped from under you?

I find "Ride of Steel" kind of clever. Now that Darien Lake is not under ownership by Six Flags, they can't say Superman: The Ride. However, they can still say "Ride of Steel" to represent his nickname, "Man of Steel."
