Former Darien Lake owner would like to reclaim the park from Six Flags

Posted | Contributed by supermandl

Buffalo businessman Paul L. Snyder Sr. has his eyes on Darien Lake again. Snyder, who founded the park as a campground 43 years ago, said Tuesday that he is interested in buying the Genesee County theme park, which its current owner, Six Flags, indicated last week that it is thinking about selling.

From one Snyder to another...
Maybe they're related and we just don't know that yet..........
It would be so nice to see a corporate park become an independent park again. Hopefully EV and SFEG will go the same way.

As for MiA, that really should be one too. It's really too small for a chain park and it's in an out of the way location.away from the major population centers or resort areas.

It should be interesting if that happens. An Intamin hyper no longer called Superman... I can't wait for that day to come!
They could call it something like Thunder Dolphin, Goliath or Expedition GeForce instead, I suppose.

While I agree with Arthur about the "independent" thing, I think with THIS park it goes further than that...from MY experience, I think of SFDL as one of the parks that needed some new *in-park* management, the old mgt. didn't seem to impress the employees any more than they did the guests...
Thunder Dolphin, are you kidding? Is there actually a rollercoaster named THUNDER DOLPHIN ??? That's like RAGING SEA LION. Hahahahahaha.

Thunder Dolphin looks really cool, I hope to check it out in the near future.

Hey Mark, I still vote that we head out and ride that thing next year.

Post it on YouTube.
