Tantrum

We got up early, and I drove us 275 miles (442 km) to visit Six Flags Darien Lake. It was about a 5.5-hour drive. Phew.

This was a new amusement park for us. It has eight roller coasters, but we could only ride seven; the eighth is a kiddy coaster with a height limit. We ended up riding six because the last one is an incredibly rough model and had a 1.5-hour wait. We didn't want to wait that long and then make the long drive home.

The last coaster we rode here was my 393rd. I'm on a quest to ride my 400th coaster, and I might get that milestone by the end of the month!

Pictured is Tantrum, which is 98 feet (30 meters) tall and has a 97-degree drop. It's really fun and one of the best coasters at this park. We had a great time. There are a few other parks in the area, but they will have to be for another day when we can book an overnight stay.
