 Review of Predator, The @ Darien Lake
0 Rating Posted by: BobFunland on 8/2/2004 8:05:00 PM
This is an awful woodie, and it currenlty holds a spot in my bottom three woodies, with tow other crappy Dinn & Summers "masterpieces", Psucklone and Mean Streak. The ride has very little good going on for it, but I will look at the bright side first.

The setting near the lake is ok I suppose, and the lift gives you a nice view of the park, and better yet, Superman, which you should ride instead of wasting your time on this POS. On the way up be sure to make your plans to pick which seat on Superman you want, youll want to think about the joys of coaster life as long as you can before the hell breaks loose. The wood looked cool, I like wood lattice :thumbsup:

The ride is horrendous. It is a rough as those brave men were personified at San Juan Hill. The track just does not give, and the ride doesnt give you much of a break to recouperate. This is some of the worst tracking in existence on a ride with PTCs. There is little airtime, if you want to call that spine-numbing sensation of being thrown slightly out of your seat while into the seat divider (or side) airtime. The ride is pretty slow too, at least I though.

This piece of crap needs a lot of help before I will step on it again. The best part about my second visit to the park was seeing it closed for the day. A three is probably as good of a score as I can justify giving it.. but I have been convinced that a two will do.

Great review sometimes I swear we are on the same wavelength. This is a POS. My worst woodie ever since pegasus is such a kids ride it was not nearly as disapointing.

Yea, my personal feelings on the ride should probably make this less than a three, but Im just as hesitant with 1s as I am 10s.

It really deserves a one but it does look good so that should count for something. Go with the 2.

Yea, youre right, a 2 fits better :devil: I do like the view of the lake, so Ill have to go change my Psyclone review because not even Predator sinks to that level of horror.

By the way when did you go to Darien Lake?

August fifth it was like a stop and go as it was my last day of vacation and we didnt want to spend another night in the hotel. The wife and I liked it well enough that we are going back next year, maybe even renting an RV.

Ah, I had left the area a few days earlier. I havent camped there, but the hotel seems nice. Glad you liked the park even though it seems like you didnt get to do much.
