- The two roller coasters at Darien Lake are the Predator as you mentioned
- which is New York state's largest wooden roller coaster. I have not been
- on it. The other roller coaster is the Viper which is goes up side down.
- It takes you to the top of a large hill then goes up to an upside down
- part that just doubles back on it self. It has some good bank turns and a
- double corkscrew. It has an underground tunnel. I am no expert so
- I may not have the lingo right. The Viper is fun. The Predator is
- fairly new, about three years old. I suggest you do most of the
- rides on Thursday and Friday at KB '92. They will be much less crowded
- then.
