Mind Eraser • Six Flags Darien Lake

worse than the average slc

Inversions Headbanging Disappointing! Tear it down!

Most painful SLC still operating as it was built. After the rennovation of Maryland's Mind Eraser, this one is the worst.

Intensity

My mind wasn't erased

I rode this back in high school trips to the park in the late 90s and I remember it being a lot of fun when it was new, not painful, maybe a bit dizzying. It's a tight layout of course but it was my first invert where I was so nervous when the floor dropped away and we went up the lift hill with my feet dangling. I have some good memories of this one.

Headbanging

Second worst SLC I've done. This Mind Eraser absolutely miserable, even more than Mind Eraser at Six Flags America. Consistent headbanging with those awful OTSRs. Nothing about this is fun. Maybe the lake is nice, but that you can't acknowledge it during the ride when it beats you around.

It's a solid clone and I don't understand why people say it's so rough.

Layout Headbanging

it's a bog standard SLC. these things don't bother me, and i like the layout. there's a lot that i'd rather ride this than.

First Drop Inversions Location Headbanging Disappointing! Discomfort

First ever vekoma slc and I rode it with its new trains. Was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, just get over the headbanging and has some nice leg chopper moments and its kind of intense

This is one of a few mind erasers that exist in the world. Nothing too special but also not the worst ride I’ve been on. I only ever ride this once each time I go to Darien Lake.

this is forceful but bad rattle and a few elements mostly the transitions into the breakrun are very uncomfortable

It used to be a coin toss whether you would get a decent ride or a bad and painful ride on this. However in recent years, every ride on this is worse than either of those 2 previous scenarios. This coaster is ridiculously rough and the transitions are just downright awful. You have to ride defensively throughout the entire ride and that still won’t stop all of the pain. And to top it all off you end the ride with the most painful part of the ride, this horrendous transition going into the brake run that no other SLC has. On top of the ride feeling like it’s going to fall apart, it also looks like it’s going to fall apart too. Not only is the paint fading, but it’s completely peeling at many points as well. This coaster does pull some force but not much and I personally think that these SLC’s just have pretty boring layouts. Overall this coaster just plain sucks, unless you enjoy having your head be smashed to pieces.

Awful. It's terrible. The layout is meh, but the restraints are awful. It hurts SO BAD. I'm struggling to put into words how terrible it is.

Wow, that was . awful….. I have ridden SLCs many times but this was another level of bad. The amount of hard smacking back and forth AND front to back. This ride seems like more of a liability than anything. A matter of time before something goes way wrong. Not to mention they only run one train at all coasters at the park minus Tantrum
