PARC Management
 Park News - (10/13/09) We’ve heard that the Ferris Wheel at Darien Lake will have a brand new lighting package by next season.
(9/22/09) A fun video on YouTube takes a look at Darien Lake and how they’re preparing for Fright Fest.
(9/7/09) In a creepy news story, a man who visited Darien Lake with friends for a Toby Keith concert vanished. After the concert, he became separated from his group and after waiting for several hours without finding him, they gave up and went home. After there was still no contact with him, his family and friends returned to the park this weekend to report him missing to the police. After a prolonged search, scuba divers found his body in the water in Sunshine Lake, “a small body of water near a parking area within the park.”
(6/8/09) A good article about how Darien Lake is surviving the economy problems has been posted by the local news. They also mention at the very end that the park is looking into plans to expand the hotel and waterpark to the level where the may be able to offer year-round activities.
(4/21/09) Darien Lake fans can rejoice as the park has launched an all new website.
(3/18/09) Darien Lake has posted their summer concert schedule here.
2010 - Go Kart Renovation or Removal - Rumor - (8/10/09) Screamscape has been informed that Darien Lake has apparently sold their current Go-Karts. While this could be to make way for some unknown new ride, I also have to consider the fact that Parc Management also now owns the NASCAR Speedpark chain. It wouldn’t surprise me to see them perhaps buy new Karts and re-brand the existing facility to take advantage of the NASCAR Speedpark name brand.
???? - Future Development - (7/9/07) The local news has posted a weird news byte about the future of Darien Lake this week. It says the new owners are planning a $109 million investment into the park that may see it expand into a year-round operation by expanding the hotel to include an indoor waterpark resort.
