the other is a western ny legend. It's called the comet. Older wooden coaster that a lot if us grew up riding.

Actually, I think you're thinking of The Comet that was at Crystal Beach, in Canada. When Crystal Beach closed up, The Comet was moved to Lake George, and is now at The Great Escape theme park.

who loves to ride rollercoaster's?

If you love roller coasters, you'll probably be disappointed by the roller coaster offerings at Fantasy Island.

For the roller coaster aficionado, Darien Lake Amusement Park might be a better fit. It's a little more than a half hour drive from the host hotel, taking mostly Interstate highways. While not a huge park, it's bigger than Fantasy Island, and has half a dozen coasters.

The attached images of the parks are roughly the same scale, you can see that Darien Lake is bigger than Fantasy Island. But neither of them are large world-class parks.

We might try to find some time to cruise over to St. Catherines and watch ships go through the locks.

We will go to Martians fantasy Island because that is where the group is going.......and I found a $4 discount for adults & $3 for kids, if interested click the link:


LINK FOR DISCOUNT COUPON.

 
Don't forget to bring your swimsuit!


Martins also has a small water park area to cool off between rides.
I know it's not the biggest or best, but it is VERY affordable and a great way to spend an afternoon with family and friends.

Is anyone not going to Martin's Fantasy Island?
I should be getting in between noon and 1pm Friday.  Can't check in until 3, looking for something to do do fill some time
other than count how many new rock chips I get in the front end on the way up
 
We are going to Martin's Fantasy Island. I would say there will be some modding going on the the host hotel parking lot for those who do not go.
 
We Have A 2 Yr Old, So We're Opting Out Of The Fantasy Island. Friday We Are Going To The Botanical Gardens And Possibly Bird Kingdom.

There are a few others coming from MI that won't be in till around Noonish, so we will maybe hold off till early afternoon for them as they all want to go.
(this will allow for More Morning Modding!!!!!!!!)
 
Hoping the weather holds out, but you may wanna pack an umbrella just in case!!!

Hoping the weatherman (person) is correct with the following forecast...

Code:
A passing shower in the morning; otherwise, clouds and sun

http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/niagara-falls/l2e/hourly-weather-forecast/55052?hour=33

Looks like we can get in some early morning modding, and even get showered up outdoors after!
Then it should shape up to be a pretty decent day!!!  (y)
