updside down

I am now very aware that I am too old to be hanging upside down so much. We went to Darien Lake last weekend. We met the cousins and grandparents there. First stop, the Haymaker. No idea why they call it this.




This was declared Tatum's favorite ride at Darien Lake. She kept asking to go on it.
After the haymaker, we met up with everyone and a few of us went on the Predator, and then stayed on for a second ride. Kind of a bumpy ride in the back. Definitely recommend riding in the front.


I love Dave's face on this ride. "Ooooh I'm having so much fun." Tatum is on the ride with him, but you can't see her yet.


Oh, there she is!








Back to the Haymaker.





There's grandpa getting all super excited for the Big Ferris Wheel ride.


I took Steven and Sydney on the Viper.


Tatum and Hadley had some time on their size rides.




Next stop - Pirate ship. Dave, Tatum, Hadley and I were directly across from them on the ride.




This is the smile I look back and see right after he slams into me.


We rode the new Motocoaster.....a lot. This ride was sooo much fun. This ride goes from 0-38 MPH in less than 3 seconds. The green light goes and you are gone. It was great! It reminded me of the way the Rockin Roller Coaster starts off at MGM studios.






Dave and I took Hadley and Tatum to the Old Fashion Cars while Lisa took the others to the Mind Eraser. Sydney did go on this one more time with me when we met up with them. While Sydney and I were going up the first hill, we could see Lisa and the kids driving out of the parking lot.

After this last roller coaster, it was then that I realized that this was the last roller coaster that I was going to ride for the day. Sydney was even walking a little sideways on our way down the walk from riding this. At least I now understand why it is named the Mind Eraser.
Back to the Haymaker for one last ride before the park closed.
