Darien Lake was an interesting park. It has a decent base of attractions that are poorly run. They could easily up per cap spending if they would take credit cards at their food stands.

In the past we had coaster wars, now it is almost like these guys were trying to see how much in debt they could get themselves. What does the winner get?

[The Interpreter]

Choose from the following:

a. Chapter 11 bankruptcy

b. Richard Kinzel

c. $11.50 per unit

d. Apollo's Chariot

e. Blackstone

f. A fate similar to Geauga Lake

g. An admissions tax

h. A nearly $20 million severance package

i. None of the Above

j. Some combination of the above

Darien Lake went downhill so much when Six Flags bought it. I remember how you could literally see the difference just between visits the year that Six Flags took over.

Yep. Silly Six Flags, putting in coasters like Superman: Ride of Steel....
