I've only been to this park twice on back-to-back days (it's not exactly round the corner from Manchester, England) and my first ride was thankfully in the pitch black. I was thus far from ready as to what immediately ensues at the bottom of the first drop. Took a joyous beating.
same here, i visited recently (also from the UK so its not a hop skip and jump over there) and i had a mid train ride and i came off properly beaten up lol. its a brilliant classic wooden coaster but owch!
A Six Flags park that adopts common sense rather than pedantic rules about making you walk all the way round again?!?!?! Never before heard of such a concept. Whatever next?
Rode this earlier this morning and got beat tf up the entire thing that double up element right before the the final break run was BRUTAL!. Loved it and 10/10 would ride again
i went to six flags for a youth trip, and this was my first time riding actual huge crazy roller coasters (i used to get sick) we were on a timed schedule and i remember riding this last with a few friends, all i remember was i blacked out. and my friends were laughing at me. 😂
my favorite roller coaster. I am gonna be so bummed if it ever gets the rmc treatment. I love it in all its rickety, violent glory. although it was even better with the 540 degree helix at 2:20.
I was really excited to ride this one when I visited the park for the first time this weekend, but good lord is it rough. I hope they could at the very least add padding to the restraints as my legs were still sore a few days afterwards
I operated this ride for the 2021 season and I actually took that idea up with the carpenters and other Mechanics but truth is tht would make the wooden structure supporting the tracks unreliable and costs plus maintenance they'd loose more money. Our park is on a very tight budget
@@deangelowarren3491 I am sorry to hear about the budget. I wish the company would put more money into this park like they do with Great America or Fiesta Texas because this place definitely has a lot of potential. Well hopefully that could change a few years down the road.
@@deangelowarren3491 Okay but what about new restraints on Ninja or Boomerang. If you can replace them with the ones on Blue Hawk at Six Flags Over Georgia then you've got a perfectly smooth ride. Have you brought that up with them?
@@GalliumGX time traveler comes no where close to steel vengeance, ride to Hapiness is just way better then time traveler, maverick isn’t to bad but SteVe is the taller ride and is way better, i305 has good forces but not as much airtime as SteVe, velocicoaster has good theming but steel vengeance is way taller and way faster, iron gwazi focuses more on speed and forces still a good ride but comes very close to SteVe but steel vengeance has way more airtime
I operated this ride and I'd always tell people at the very end... Boss is a master for bringin "Sweet Pain" for any beginner that's not used to it yet... But it was always those that are up in age that ended up hurt
i went on this ride last summer with a couple of my friends from church, and i remember sitting in the 3rd cart (which is one of the roughest carts to ride in on this) and feeling my seatbelt before the first drop and it was so loose! i tightened it and held onto the little bar thing the whole time after that and called my friend outside the ride afterwards and he said if i wouldn’t have messed w the seatbelt i would’ve flown off the rollercoasters. so scary but i’d totally do it again😹
I've never been able to go on an actual rollercoaster just cause I havent gotten the opportunity to go to an actual theme park. I've only ridden smaller rides at local fairs that happen during the summer. Once I get a new job (I'm 16 and my old one closed) I'm gonna pay for me and my family to go and I've decided that this will be the first rollercoaster I ever go on cause it doesnt seem as intimidating as some of the others it just kinda seems like a generic rollercoaster :)
IRL a 'boss' like this would probably punch you in the ass just for showing up to work. I loved it and will ride again! (and thank you Six Flags St. Louis!!! Can't wait to come back!) edit: video doesnt do justice to that headchopper after 1st drop! Your trying to hold head up under massive g's, but the tunnel looks way too low so you feel like you need to duck!! 2nd brake run yesterday was nowhere near as slow...
Maybe it doesn't look like much, but man, this thing jerks you around. I rode this back in 2013 or 2014 for the first (and the last time). I was so scared later that night because of how bad my head and neck were hurting, I was afraid I would die in my sleep. 😭😭 Evidently, I did not, but that was the last time I got on a coaster. 😂
You're entire body aches for at least an hour after this ride and it was even worse when the corkscrew was still in it (I loved that part) yet still go on it every time I go to this park....
@@jeremiahallen7099the boss came out on April 29, 2000 that would mean he is 24 years old pretty old, huh? also don’t act like you get jerked around on this thing and punched in the stomach at the end with that immediate stop
@Trump2024-t8o alright first off. I thought it was older but still he has to either be pretty tall or must be old I never denied the fact that it hurts all I said was I got off and I was fine.Yes it's a bumpy ride but unless you're body is just aligned or tal enough you're going to be fine
@@jeremiahallen7099 you’re right I won’t lie to you. The ride does look old asf but at the same time I’m 5,2 and I’m 13 years old do not call me short you bastard I’m just kidding anyways I was riding it and when it accelerates at the end, it feels like you just got punched in the stomach as hard as someone could but you’re right though
@Trump2024-t8o yeah I saw a kid on it he looked like he was on the brink od death but yeah its a rough ride and probably a lot worse if h happen to be certain heights
This could be a good coaster if made smoother. I felt like I’d gone a round with Mike Tyson. Worst coaster in park Ninja isn’t far behind. A few years ago they redid the Giant in Texas taking it from bad to good. Bring on that team of engineers quickly before someone is hurt.

I get this.
same here, i visited recently (also from the UK so its not a hop skip and jump over there) and i had a mid train ride and i came off properly beaten up lol. its a brilliant classic wooden coaster but owch!
I rode this 10 times straight yesterday. The park didn’t have many guests and since nobody was in line to take our seats, we just stayed in the cart.
I rode it three times in different seats. The first of which was in the front seat.
Six Flags ride attendants using common sense to bypass the rules? Whatever next?
I ❤ this rude I just dont like the long walk
Love when that happens. I got to ride the wildcat in Hershey park 10 times in a row on Halloween night because it was raining and the park was empty

I just rode it yesterday ...What a ride..Im ready to go back already..
I grew up riding this ride. I live in VA now so I don't get to very much anymore. I'm glad others enjoyed it just as much as I do every time.
Yea that double up is a vertical banger
yeah i rode it yesterday too, people said it would hurt your neck but honestly the only thing that hurt was my stomach/rib area. it hits hard im ngl
@@alexanderbaum9677 oh hey I’m reverse you! I grew up in VA and just moved out here last year and got to ride this for the first time lol
I went on this today and it’s not like it used to be, It’s a lot more rough now.
Needs RMC'D!!

This is such a rough ride. Got off & my head, neck & back were all in serious pain

Truly you must be a sadist because this ride is basically like getting assaulted
I was really excited to ride this one when I visited the park for the first time this weekend, but good lord is it rough. I hope they could at the very least add padding to the restraints as my legs were still sore a few days afterwards
They’ve redone the cars and seats so it isn’t nearly as rough as it used to be. Before it was redone the restraints didn’t even touch my lap.
If you’ve never gotten beat up really, really really badly in a fight then ride this ride you will get a taste of what it’s like
Everytime I got to Six Flags St.Louis I ride this rollercoaster probably at least 6 times.
Geez you can really take a beating can’t you
The perfect roller coaster for an RMC redo.
i love this ride as is

I disagree. I love this ride just the way it is.
this is the best Fright Fest park six flags has to offer
I would love for them to do the GCI titan track and new trains instead of an rmc conversion as the layout is insane.
This ride is no joke!! One of my favorites though.
1:04 I thought that was broken track at first!
What an underrated roller coaster
My favorite ride in the whole park
This ride has so many Positive G’s, was not ready for it.😅 made me feel like I305 but wood
Still my favorite roller coaster I’ve been on. Although manta ray at sea world is a close second.
Once I can travel more I’ll be able to ride more
Go to Ohio’s cedar point and you will see a coaster called steel vengeance ride it and you will have a new favorite coaster
@@Thefury325iron Gwazi, time traveler, velocicoaster, maverick, and i305 better sorry not sorry
@@GalliumGX time traveler comes no where close to steel vengeance, ride to Hapiness is just way better then time traveler, maverick isn’t to bad but SteVe is the taller ride and is way better, i305 has good forces but not as much airtime as SteVe, velocicoaster has good theming but steel vengeance is way taller and way faster, iron gwazi focuses more on speed and forces still a good ride but comes very close to SteVe but steel vengeance has way more airtime
The Beast of Missouri
Jesus christ that thing throws you around like a ragdoll
I went to here on June 4th and yes it sure does that’s why it’s one of my least favorite rides.
I operated this ride and I'd always tell people at the very end... Boss is a master for bringin "Sweet Pain" for any beginner that's not used to it yet... But it was always those that are up in age that ended up hurt
I know especially that huge jerk right at the end.
Now THIS looks like a great 'Woodie'!!
Richard
Just did this bad boy in the dark 2 nights ago what a ride
Is the drop 150 feet because of the double down drop?
I think it is
My favorite wooden roller coaster and I rode it at six flags St. Louis and I am from Illinois.
Reminds me of the old Mean Streak at Cedar Point
This ride is so rough but fun
I was the lead at the boss in 2003 04 and 05 I would ride that morning safety right there in the front seat
i went on this ride last summer with a couple of my friends from church, and i remember sitting in the 3rd cart (which is one of the roughest carts to ride in on this) and feeling my seatbelt before the first drop and it was so loose! i tightened it and held onto the little bar thing the whole time after that and called my friend outside the ride afterwards and he said if i wouldn’t have messed w the seatbelt i would’ve flown off the rollercoasters. so scary but i’d totally do it again😹
SCHILKE!!! JUST SCREAMING FOR ALAN SCHILKE'S GENIUS TOUCH!!!💯
I can feel the pain through the screen
My favorite coaster ..THE BOSS.
One of my other favorite Missouri coasters, besides Mamba. I wish they would rid of those Gerstlauer trains, though.
You have to ride this twice. Cause the first time is will jack up all your bones and joints. The 2nd time will set you straight.
It’s science
Love me some Boss!
It's just too painful. You could feel every single bump. Felt like i fractured a rib.

Nice vid 👍👍
This was the most painful coaster I have ever been on. Ride with my 2 kids and we all had bruises the next day.
This is a mess. I do love the double dip down on the first drop though
It either needs the Ghost Rider Treatment, Titack Track or RMC
It would awesome if The Boss can ever receive an RMC upgrade.
No GhostRider treatment or Gravity Group precut track would be better. Rmc sucks
One time I was on this ride and I put in the restraint and I dug it too deep in me and my stomach hurt every time I walked for hours
Maybe it doesn't look like much, but man, this thing jerks you around. I rode this back in 2013 or 2014 for the first (and the last time).

Uh, there was never a corkscrew
do you mean double helix? the boss never had a corkscrew
There wasn’t a corkscrew, and it wasn’t even painful for me.
I went on that u couldn’t see the drops sense the trees were blocking it and I was like this looks fun *me screaming on the top of my lungs*
Fun ride. Headache though lol.
I’ve been on this ride. I passed out no kidding
This would make a great RMC candidate.
Nah, retrack is much more better
i would probably love this ride if the wind would let me open my eyes to see it
St. Louis Chan Brothers
This tide looks nuts. Makes no sense its like a wooden hyper
It bruised my leg and gave me back pain for the rest of the day.
If RMC isn't in this ride's future. I hope 10000 tons of dynamite are
Dam boy you must be as old as the ride I got on it and I'm perfectly fine

Is it because Diana Ross rode dis here coaster? (up in here?). PWG
They need to get GCI to titan track this: GCI trains on CCI track is a very poor combination.
Gci track it please!!
how would they do that
This could be a good coaster if made smoother. I felt like I’d gone a round with Mike Tyson. Worst coaster in park Ninja isn’t far behind. A few years ago they redid the Giant in Texas taking it from bad to good. Bring on that team of engineers quickly before someone is hurt.
fun but wish it was less bumpy
Looks rough, Lets RMC it :)
Gave me a headache just watching it. Great RMC candidate. Even if they just put the 208 track on it.
I got a migraine just watching this video.
I rode this coaster and got stuck on it. It’s really not that bad
I didn't get stuck.
Oh man, they took the helix out :(
This coaster is so painful
This thing was made to be RMC'd
United States FIFA World Cup
And they took the helix out
It will rough you up
Those Gerstlauer trains are not it 👎
Six’s flags rlly trying to copy ghost rider at knotts
both rides were built by Custom Coasters International
It’s rough, but a good rough, but that was about 14 years ago.
