 Review of Predator, The @ Darien Lake

APPEARANCE-9 Awesome location and the ride looks really good. It has a very nice look even with its age. Like B-Fun said enjoy the lift hill because because once you crest the hill, just like this review it all goes to S&*#. CAPACITY-3 Two trains help but they wait so long I am not sure why. They also check your seatbelt, then put down your lap bar and check that. Sometimes the other train is back before they even check your seatbelt. They act like you are going to go on an airtime filled monster, I think they want to make sure you dont jump out to save your back from the beating it is about to endure. RIDE QUALITY-1 Slow, Rough, Boring, Rough, Sucks. FUN-0 I have never given a zero because most rides could be so bad they are almost funny, not so here. RERIDE-1 Unless I read an article about them retracking the whole ride this has made my never again list, which is very small considering most the rides on that list have been torn down. OVERALL-14 AVG-2.8 I will go two but ONLY the fact that it is such a nice looking wood coaster saves it from my "1" graveyard.

I havent been on the Predator in about 7 years, and even then it rode like the track was full of potholes. It really was a much different ride its inaugural season (yes, it WAS fun) but I dont know what the hell it is with a lot of the Dinn-Curtis coasters; they seem to start off with a slight tracking problem (the "Dinn Shuffle") and then just deteriorate from there. I am totally baffled why Six Flags would let this ride become this bad, while focusing their attention on "taming" otherwise great coasters. Ive said it before, Ill say it again; 666 Flags - Evil Empire indeed.
