Darien Lake, No Opener...What should we expect??
#1

I noticed that the show starts at 7:30 with no opener. I thought Joel Plaskett Emergency was opening but now on the website there is none listed. So, from my experiences working at this venue in the past, shows that start at 7:30 usually kick off at 8:00. But with doors at 6 (most likely), maybe they'll get it going sooner.

Here's what I wonder, I mean, every single show this season has gone until 11pm, since that is when the Noise Ordinance for the town of Darien goes into effect.

Will the Hip play from 8-11?? I really can't see it happening but wow would it be great. My guess is that they will try to find an opener come show time so the Hip can play 9-11 as they usually do here.

I will try to look into this, but just wondering what how you guys would read into the whole no opening act thing.

Maybe it will be another "Evening With" type thing one set, intermission, and then a second set, encore, encore... :jump

One can dream, right!

the weather better be nicer than we've had the last week. i envision sunny skies, low eighties, and the beer will flow like wine.
the hip hit the stage with vaccination scar and the reviews will start with "this was the best hip show i ever seen....................

I'm in a musical, Godspell... you might have heard about it, there was supposed to be an ad in the Sun. The LSCP group. Lots of fun.

I actually saw the Godspell advertisement on Route 5 there, it seems that the "Lake Shore" area gets a lot of good community involvement. Good luck with the performance and try to spread the good Hip music to some of your fellow classmates. I don't know if they'll buy it though, a lot of them are into the whole punk/emo or hip hop thing.

I think you should lobby for IBE to be played during intermission of Godspell, in light of your not being able to make Darien.

Ha! Thanks. Actually, the cast of the show is quite up-to-par with music tastes. And as for the intermission thing, well, my brother made a mix cd for pre-show/intermission, and I made him throw ABAC on there. Big Grin

A little OT, but does DL have that Superman ride with the ridiculous hang time?

And you folks are going to LOVE this show. The boys are really tearing up the stage this tour, and I've never seen Gord so engaged, interactive and just plain happy on stage ever before... he's smiling and screamig at equal intervals.

That reminds me of the freakiest thing. I was on the Superman last year, and my step-son and I heard a loud BANG as we were ascending up the initial climb. We thought that was odd, but were too stoked to really think about it.

After the scream-fest was over, we got off the ride and went to wait back in line...to find out they closed it at that very moment to repair a break. Turns out that loud bang we heard was a line snapping. Oh greaaaaaat...

It all worked out (for us), thankfully!

But what a wicked ride!!

Wow, that is nuts....I remember the week the ride opened, a guy, apparently too big for the ride fell out of it close to the end. Guess he walked away with a few scrapes and bruises...

Maybe Superman himself is protecting riders.

If I hear any kind of snap, I'm jumping out!

It was closed during May while they investigate the guy who was killed on the Superman at six flags NE. It's open now though.
