Brain Teaser is a steel family roller coaster manufactured by Zierer of Germany. The coaster is currently located at Darien Lake in New York.

History

When constructed in 1981, it was the first roller coaster at the park. [cite web | author=Ed "Shredley" Schroeder & Joni Oren | format=HTML | title=The Darien Experience | month=December | year=2005 | publisher=Oceanic Time Warner Cable | url=http://www.hawaii.rr.com/leisure/reviews/coastercrazy/2005-12_tdexperience.htm | accessdate=2006-07-21] The coaster was originally called "Ladybug" for its ladybug shaped trains.

When it became part of Adventure Land for Kids (created in 1988) it was renamed as "Nessie the Dreamy Dragon" to fit with the dragon-like theming of the area. [1995 Darien Lake Map and Brochure]

The ride was green with yellow seats and a black track until it was moved to its new location and renamed in 1997. The ride now has red track with blue supports and a single blue train. This color scheme is similar to the nearby Mind Eraser, an inverted roller coaster built by Vekoma in 1997.

Current operation

Brain Teaser is primarily intended for children. The coaster is operated with one five car train with one row per car. Riders are seated two per row for a total of ten riders per train. When the ride is used at full capacity it can take 600 riders per hour.
