History

On November 17, 1996, Darien Lake announced that they would be adding The Mind Eraser. The ride officially opened on May 17, 1997. It has the same color scheme as Mind Eraser at Elitch Gardens and had the same color shame as Mind Eraser at Six Flags New England before the latter reopened as Riddler Revenge in 2018, with new trains and a different color scheme. In 2024, Six Flags put up a sign at Darien lake stating that Mind Eraser will be closed for the season for a refurbishment. The trains will also be replaced.
