Great video of my home park, I miss the Crazy Quilts and the UFO and many other rides that are gone now including the Giant Wheel.
It's so cool to see what the park looked like back in the early 90s compared to now
Better times!
OMG, this video is so nostalgic because I was born in the late 80s and grew up in the 90s, and I hate that they took all the good rides away! Was just talking about how much I miss the grizzly run, the ranger, and the UFO because I visited Darien Lake earlier today. It just doesn’t have the same vibe as it used to, and the same goes for Fantasy Island which was also my stomping grounds. SO many good rides are gone, including the log ride which used to be my jam and that boat tag was the best!!! And even the damn Ferris wheel, I never much cared for Ferris wheels but that was a staple for the park and it’s so empty without it. 😔
And Barracuda Bay was the shit! I almost went flying off one of those old light blue water slides when they had the foam mats and you’d lose it every time. Then the roughness of the slide would scratch your skin on the way down. It sucked but it sucks even worse not having those rides around anymore.
Those water slides were amazing. It's sad to see them all gone.
This brought me back... used to camp up there on Kodak weekend back in the 90s!
Wow. Wish it was the same now! Miss those days
This is nostalgic . Used to always go here as a kid.
Mw roo, I have a membership now
It looks way better back then. They really took care of the park and the landscaping. It has gone down hill since the 90s.
As a person who works in the Games department today at DL, it amazes me how many things change. The entire barn (games area) is completely renovated with new games, prizes, and etc. The game(s) at 12:18 is actually now one whole new game and is actually where I worked today. It amazing to see the history and past of what everything looked like.
Good okd days no cell phones everybody was laid back and relaxed just having a good time.
Thank you for this time machine of my childhood. So many memories unlocked. Loved the comments haha
Darien Lake was fantastic growing up. A lot has changed, but it's still fun. Although I miss the UFO, ranger, crazy quilt, raging seas, the big ferris wheel, and log flume. Those rides were classics and so much fun. At least the viper & other coasters, pirate, bumper cars, corn popper, lasso, silver bullet, and haymaker are still there!
I miss the log flume sooo bad 😢
Back when darien lake was worth going
I grew up near Oswego and me and my family went to this park every year. And when I got to HS this was where we went on field trips. Many good memories here. I remember the Superman coaster being as big and bad as it got back then!
I was born and raised in Oswego and spent my childhood here, I still go once in awhile, I have a membership for sixflags now
That is wild to see. That was probably my first year going there when I was a kid (Born 1989). We went year after year until I graduated high school. We used to rent a camper for the weekend. It has changed so much, all of the old water rides and slides are gone, a lot of the flat rides are gone as well, no more Giant Wheel. Sad
I miss those water slides.
Me too - Barracuda Bay was the shit! I almost went flying off one of those old light blue water slides when they had the foam mats and you’d lose it every time. Then the roughness of the slide would scratch your skin on the way down. It sucked but it sucks even worse not having those rides around anymore.
My Home park! It looks so different now. So many classic rides gone :( the park just looked more alive with better landscaping and atmosphere
Agree
I've been going to this park since 1997 and haven't been since 2015, it's amazing to see the evolution of a theme park over a span of select years. Thanks for sharing this great video!
I really miss those days
It's cool seeing it like it was when I was a kid. Now they have like 5 times more coasters but some of this is gone now like the Super Wheel and the UFO. They also have one of the worlds tallest swings, drop towers and a huge water park area. Off to the left as you walk in.
Darien Lake has gone down hill. 90s was the best, shows, landscaping, better rides, better food. Wish I had a Time Machine.
The predator is awful now, very rough
Love these
Could we please go back to 94? I know things were messed up back then, but compared to now it looks like the good old days.
I miss the way the park used to be geowing up, they took out alot of great rides, it's so sad
To hear someone talk about The Predator with anything other than utter disdain is confusing
I think there were only 2 Coasters here at this time. This was before the Mind Eraser, Boomerang, Superman. This may have even been before the Nightmare coaster which wasn't there long and was gone within a few years. The park peaked in the late 90's and early 2000's and a lot has been taken out since then
What a great video!!
Do you have Disney Animal Kingdom from 1998 or 1999?
nobody's fat
