We went to Darien Lake for a few days. We left home Friday morning for a weekend with no children, our first in a few years. It took about 4 hours to get there but once we did we wanted to spend the day at the park. Matt had never been on a rollercoster before this weekend. His first was this old wooden one, it was a rough ride. Shook us all over. When we were in line waiting we noticed that the ride of steel
had stopped almost all the way at the top. This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't a 208ft incline. The workers said that the power had gone out in the next town over, leaving the poor people on the ride sitting at the top waiting to come down. The ride was still working when Matt and I got off ours but there was no way I was going on it! We went on a few more rides that first day. When we were done we went to the camp grounds to get settled in. We did not expect our friends till well after 9pm so the husband and myself sat by the fire and read for a bit. The next day we got to the park when it opened, we went on every possible ride that would scare the heck out of us.
My cousin hates heights so much, that he doesn't climb ladders. He went on every thing we did, even the Mind eraser! You are suspended with your feet hanging down and there are 3 loops. Feels like you are going to fall out. After the ride we went back to the parking lot wich at this time had turned into tent city. We ate dinner and hung out before we headed into the Tom Petty concert. My husband and I had never been to a concert before, it was awesome! There were so many people and the prices for a beverage were crazy. I'm am not a Tom petty fan at all but the lights and music were amazing. It took us an hour to get back to the truck and drive to the camp, 3 miles away. The next morning when we were packing up it started to rain. On our way home the wipers stopped working. At home I ordered a pizza for dinner and did nothing else. It was a great weekend I got to spend time with my closest friends and family, and look forward to doing it again next year.'
