November 4, 20169 yr EPR Properties, a REIT that invests in entertainment & recreation centers, has acquired the assets of CNL Lifestyle Properties. Notably, Darien Lake & Wet n Wild Palm Springs (formerly owned by Cedar Fair as Knott's Soak City Palm Springs) are included in the acquisition. http://www.newyorkupstate.com/news/2016/11/darien_lake_sold_western_ny_location_included_in_theme_park_deal_report_says.html SEC Filing: http://www.getfilings.com/sec-filings/161103/EPR-PROPERTIES_8-K/
November 4, 20169 yr Very interesting for news for Darien Lake... any locals or anyone who has been on here have thoughts? I've never been so i can't say anything about it..
November 4, 20169 yr Just to clarify, Darien Lake was not previously owned by Cedar Fair. Just the Wet n Wild Palm Springs was. I have visited Darien Lake, which for a time, was managed by Herschend Family Entertainment (the owners of Newport Aquariuam, Silver Dollar City and part owners of Dollywood). The park is a smaller park, and had a couple of nice rides. We visited it in 2015 on our way to Niagara Falls and Canada`s Wonderland. My wife and I really enjoyed the Zamperla made Moto Coaster. We made it through the park in like three or four hours. Worth a visit, but unless they were to add another big new ride, we would not make a visit there again.
November 4, 20169 yr They have a big ride lying in pieces in a field across the street from the park. Whether it is in any easily maintainable condition, that may be another story...
November 5, 20169 yr Maybe it was Batman The Escape from Astroworld that also at Great Adventure and Magic Mountain before that.
