T3 is still listed as an active coaster on that page.

Technically, it's still in the park but in pieces stacked in the back. :)

T3 is one step away from where it belongs! One of the worst rides I have ever been on.

My very first video I ever made showed my reaction to the first time I rode T3. Please excuse the quality of the content, I was just starting to learn how to make good videos. To spare you from having to watch the entire video, this link starts at the T3 segment.


I watched that segment of your video and thought "hey - I've ridden that" so I looked at my coaster tally and found that I rode T2 back in 2009. I looked it up in RCDB and it looks like they changed the name when they switched trains. Is that they only thing they changed?

I think the ride had a color change when it went from T2 to T3 as well. I wasn't familiar with the ride at that time.

But what a terrible ride. Vekoma SLC's were already not very good, but add to that that the train shuffled like I've never experienced on a ride before. The shuffling was dramatic, and seemed to slow the train. It shimmied like the trains gauge was wrong for the track. It was noticeable as it went upside down. It wasn't from side to side, rather it was from car to car up and down. Like the cars were trying to go different speeds, and they were loosely connected, so the one in front had slack to the car behind it. If that makes any sense.

It wasn't painful. The restraints made the ride comfortable. But it wasn't very fun because it wasn't very smooth.


I gave the park credit for trying to improve the ride.

For Darien Lake I hope the upcoming updates / changes, will make Mind Eraser (at min) an enjoyable ride.

How is Darien Lake? We go by the exit when we take the kid to/from Syracuse. I have thought about making a stop to check it out.
