Moto Coaster (Six Flags Darien Lake)

Add article description


The MotoCoaster is a motorbike roller coaster at Six Flags Darien Lake in Darien, New York. It was the park's first launch coaster, and was the first MotoCoaster by Zamperla to be installed in the United States,[1][2] though the Pony Express, a similar type of coaster with horse themed trains, was constructed around the same time and is currently operating at Knott's Berry Farm.[3] The coaster installed at Darien Lake is actually the prototype coaster that was used for tuning and testing at Zamperla's factory in Italy.[1][3]

The coaster was originally named the Orange County Choppers Motocoaster (OCC Motocoaster) when it first opened in 2008. Darien Lake partnered with the Orange County Choppers for naming rights for the coaster, along with a promotional giveaway of a custom painted OCC motorcycle, and a custom built bike to remain at the park.[4] After the naming rights with Orange County Choppers expired, the name was changed to the MotoCoaster in 2010.
