News: Changes coming to Darien Lake after sale

Posted at 11:17 PM EDT (0317 GMT)

Apr. 11th, 2007 -- Two days ago, Six Flags completed the sale of several properties to PARC Management, one being Darien Lake. The park's new owners wasted no time, today announcing several new additions and changes. To begin with, the park is now officially called "Darien Lake Theme Park Resort".

Other, more tangible changes include Le Grande Cirque, a circus show debuting June 22. The park will also add a comedy-magic show, a dance performance, and a show for kids called Blake Daring’s Storybook Adventures.

The park also intends to feature more local vendors. In addition, the park will introduce new ticket prices for senior citizens and lower the cost of admission after 5 pm.

They could have come up with accurate info and better names, but the circus and logo look nice!

Sounds like a good plan to me.

We will likely have to wait until next year to see any new rides.

I wonder if they have an agreement to keep the liscenced names for the rides?

Sounds great. many of the SFI park are lacking when it comes to entertainment. Seems like a major focus for this new management group. Elitch Gardens has A similar high caliber show line up.

I like that Parkin s dropping to $7.00 dollars. i am a bit curious to know whats up with The stand up coaster.

I wonder what's going to happen to that B&M Stand-up that's sitting at the park.

^ I think that an Intamin/Giovanola Standup. Used to be at SFMM and SFGAdv.

I can't wait to see the changes these ex-Six Flags Parks will have.

Hmmm...the logo reminds me a lot of Medusa's logo. lol

I do like it a lot though.

Looks like 2007 will be the year of transition for a lot of parks, former Six Flags parks and former Paramount parks.

I'd love it if the ex-B:TE was erected, at least it'd be something thrill-ride related. By the way, from my understanding, S:ROS will now just be called "Ride of Steel." No word on the use of the Looney Tunes names, and the only other DC Comics reference was the "Batman Thrill Spectacular," which is being replaced by the circus show. It's SF, so there isn't much theming they'd need to get rid of.

I think Boomerang : Coast To Coaster is a SF trademark, too.... so they might have to change that name (or just shorten it to the vary-easy Boomerang).

Mind Eraser is another trademark that will have to go also.

Right now a lot of the names aren't changed on the site. i think over the summer and especially the spring we will see a lot of small changes. likely nothing big till 2008. So we'll have to wait and see about batman: TE
