Darien Lake is a theme park resort located in Darien Center, NY. The park originally opened in 1954 as a campground resort near a man made lake that was named after the town the park is in. In 1981 Darien Lake made its debut as the theme park as we know it today. From 1999 until 2006, it was owned by Six Flags and the Looney Tunes and DC Comics characters dominated the park, but when Darien Lake was sold the characters were removed from the park.

Some noteworthy rides at Darien Lake include Viper, (Superman) Ride of Steel, Predator, Mind Eraser, Swirl City water slides, Boomerang, Grizzly Run, Thunder Rapids log flume, Shipwreck Falls, and more.
Here's a picture of the old 'Cuda Falls water slides that were located by the front gate from 1994 until 2014.

Here's a picture of me on Viper from 2000 back when Darien Lake was owned by Six Flags.
The "Ride of Steel" roller coaster used called "Superman: Ride of Steel" when Six Flags owned Darien Lake. I think the owners who bought DL from Six Flags got lazy when it came to rename the roller coaster and just kept the "Ride of Steel" part.
