History
Hoot N Holler opened in 1981 as the first roller coaster at the park, then known as Darien Lake Fun Country. The coaster was originally named Ladybug, after its ladybug-shaped train. The coaster was located in the vicinity of the Giant Wheel from 1981 to 1988. It was later moved to Adventure Land for Kids in 1988, where it was renamed Nessie the Dreamy Dragon to fit the dragon theming of that area. Its train was also repainted from its original ladybug design to be green and yellow. In 1997, it was moved again to be closer to the new The Mind Eraser coaster in an area with two other rides, alongside which it would be known as the Tiny Trio: BMX Motocross and Dodgems. It was also renamed to Brain Teaser, to match the nearby The Mind Eraser. It was repainted with red track with teal supports to match the color scheme of The Mind Eraser as well.For the 2012 season, the park rethemed their children's section to "Rowdy's Ridge", which included several new rides, and changes to the two pre-existing rides. The ride now has a sea green track and supports, and its train has been repainted brown to look like an owl.
