Darien Lake Monster

Before the summer ends my last prediction will be on the topic of Darien Lake's Predator renovation. Since it stated there will two inversions and no major layout change, it made it a bit simpler.

That layout should be way tighter if they're going to renovate Predator.

It is the same size as the original ride, the taller set of turns have brought in about 5 feet, zero g hill removed for an airtime hill, and approach to the turnaround remodeled into a imversion starting dive.

No, I mean that's way too spread out for any possible version of Predator. The turn around into the twisty part of the ride is much tighter than that.

I realize that. The inversion lead out would require extensive reworking of the structure on both parts. The lead out of the turn would replace the camelback hill between the second through fourth turn.

I think it's going to be a new ride. They just spent a lot of money retracking Predator and getting the two trains from Holiday World and supposedly it runs pretty well now. I think it will be an original layout rather than a rebuild.

We'll see between the two parks which RMC ends up being the most ridiculous. That is assuming the accidental wooden coaster leak relating to SFGAm isn't a forum troll (It could be knowing that park,someone is tech savvy enough).

I'm glad you mentioned that Freddie because I just assumed I was wrong about the newish trains and retracking work.

My vote is on Darien Lake getting the most ridiculous ride. Their coaster history has been laughable at best.
