Six Flags Darien Lake

comes to 100% and I think that's

why we are in such a tight knit industry because yes we're competitors with Darien Lake in the fact that there's only so much time that people have for leisure activities but we're two different markets we're two different brands but I we've called them before and say hey we've got this issue have you experienced this so it's very collaborative even though it is competitive I think the safety aspect we really try to collaborate on because we can all win from that there's no losing situation in collaboration

The other thing I think was kind of a spinoff of the safety conversation, but in regards to the jackrabbit was, I think I remember you saying that every, is it every year or every 10 years or something you replace a portion of it?

Yeah.

I was taught how to work hard and the value of a dollar.

And you don't brag about it.

I didn't tell kids at school because I figured they'd pick on me and they'd be like, oh, I like Darien Lake better.

Like what kids do.

And I went on Twitter and I kind of made a joke.

I said that Highmark Stadium, he's playing Highmark Stadium, he should be at Darien Lake, and maybe he should be opening for somebody at Darien Lake.

Those are fighting words if people are big fans of his.

Well, he's got an army, I guess.

Can I, can I, I'm going to throw in a non pinball moment of 2026.

It was fascination at Darien Lake with Joe Chervino.

Incredible.

Have you ever been fascinated, Jamie? So it's like, kind of like bingo.

Thanks to Kevin, and thank you.

I'm glad we got to share that moment together this year.

It was a great whole day at Darien Lake up in western New York.

It's an awesome time.

Well, Rena Roy there with the details.

No word on what's happening here at Darien Lake, if anything, in response to that.

But I'm sure we'll hear a little bit more as we get closer to opening next year.

Sure.

But Marine Midland, I think maybe they played when it was still the odd.

Darien Lake, and I think Darien Lake actually was one of the stops on one of the Another Roadside attractions.

They hate the Darien Lake.

I did not go to that show, but I know one of the few U.S. tour dates.

I think they might have done one in, like, Vermont, maybe, which sounds kind of right.

But they definitely did one here in Darien Lake in Buffalo.

So, yeah, our park, Gord loved our park because it's right on the gorge.

And they did, like, four nights there.

Yeah.

And before that, two days before that, I had always wanted to go to Darien Lake.

And so, oh, my gosh.

As a Bills fan, you're surrounded by Buffalo fans.

And once we got married, Matt, Matt, I would take trips to Buffalo.

Then once we moved here, we could drive to go see him.

So we had planned initially we were going to go to Darien Lake no matter what.

And we were going to go up early to spend time with him.

It has literally like...

Three times as many as the Six Flags Darien Lake where I grew up.

There are

16 significant roller coasters there plus two kids roller coasters.
