Definitely a memorable ride. The Predator is located in the back of park near one of the lakes or large ponds. The layout looks interesting at first glance, so in line I was pretty excited. While in line I found a monument to park vandalism. The Great Gum Shrine of Darien Lake. Pretty gross. Even if it is kind of funny it shows the staffs disregard for keeping their park clean. On to the ride, about three-quarters the way up the 95 lift hill the train came to an abrupt stop. Quite a few riders immediately freaked out. Having been in this situation before I was calm and figured the coaster would move in a few moments. It didnt. Finally, after a long ten or fifteen minutes the ride cranked back up and we were on our way. The result was a bumpy, sluggish, painful, terribly paced ride. Maybe one day in the past this was a great ride, but this ride has aged terribly. This ride has earned my "coveted" wrecking ball award as it has absolutely nothing positive to offer. I take that back. Like the other reviewers have said, it looks like fun, but its way too painful and just unenjoyable. Heres hoping SFDL re-tracks or rennovates this coaster. Final Rating - 2.0 (Horrible)
