Before my visit, all I had heard about SFStL was how it was neglected by Six Flags. What I found was a well-shaded park in a gorgeous setting with some awesome thrill rides. It's far from the best Six Flags park, and desperately needs a signature coaster, but it's very underrated for what it offers.
If it gets that signature coaster, I think the perception among enthusiasts would flip.
New for 2022 : used troika and carousel reopening along with 3
2020 catwomans whip
It’s in Horus shape. What do you mean? As someone who has visited this park since childhood, I have only seen it go downhill every year.
@@CanobieCoaster all they need is. Rmc boss or rmc screaming eagle. And. They will be more up on the ranks.
@@Hardcoredawg420 if they RMC Screamin Eagle it would be a tragedy. Boss is a beat up head ache inducer with no point now that it is trimmed and the helix is gone. Screamin Eagle is an ACE landmark and a classic. Plus boss would make a way better RMC. It’s a no brainer.
Definitely an underrated coaster lineup!
Agreed!
They got quantity. But Quality needs work
Water park there sucks.
@Hardcoredawg420 They all are really old rides, but yes, I agree some of the rides are kinda crud.
Scooby Doo Ghostblasters: Mystery of the scary swamp was the BEST!
I wish I could have tried it.
I miss it so much 😭
facts!
fr it was so fun
@@vtintense317 The lightning at the end and the mummy with chains always scared the heck out of me. :D
I visited the park in last December, and I absolutely agree that the park is the most underrated SF park! Absolutely beautiful landscaping, lots of TLC around the park, friendly staff, and the HITP event was amazing. In terms of the new ride, 2022 will probably be their big year. Freespin/Raptor for the old Tidal Wave plot of land, or RMC Boss. Then we can later expect a flat replacement for the rides leaving this year.
I hope so!
Hopefully
I'll miss Tidal Wave. Going on and then standing on the bridge to get absolutely soaked was great in the hottest part of the day
Now that I think about it this park does look rly nice
It just doesn't have the signature coaster.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah, it still has a good lineup tho
This is my home park so I have a lot of love for it! I have always felt like it was the neglected child of the six flags parks but it really has some great rides. I went again last Saturday and it didn’t disappoint.
You have a great point that they are missing a kiddie coaster.. my kids first coaster was pandemonium which they absolutely love but it was a bit of a jump from county fair dragon coasters to a full blown coaster!
I love the atmosphere of this one.
SFSL is my local park and I think that if Six Flags invests more in the park it would really pay out! I think Fright Fest is definitely something that should be further invested in here, as it is very popular!
Plus it's a good metro area to pull from.
@@CanobieCoaster Totally agree! Like you outlined in the video, the other parks in Missouri are a few hours out which is inconveniencing but because of the St. Louis placement those living nearby in Illinois may likely be going to SFSL, so it would sweeten the deal and help expand the guest pool.
Do you know if they bring out Looney toons characters and where you can find them? I'm visiting this weekend I'm so excited
I had a great time here, definitely agree that it deserves more love!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for covering my hometown park and giving it what I will say is a VERY generous review. 🙂
You're welcome!
i guarantee you 2022 is the year for the next coaster at st louis (the park manager said something big was being announced in august)
I hope they get a signature coaster.
@@CanobieCoaster me to
@@CanobieCoaster its my home park
Not trying to sound rude but is there any where I fact check this I’ve never heard of it and it’s my home park and I’m eager to find out
@@Blitzol I really hope an end happens
This is my home park. This place is my LIFE. I grew up in St. Louis and this was the only Park that was fairly close, and its extremely underrated.
Nice!
Man I'm pretty sure this is the ONLY six flags I've ever been to lol, and not just once, nooooo. I've probably been going here atleast once or twice a year on average since I was a kid with family and such. And lemme just sidenote, Scooby Doo was a much more fun ride than the new DC version
I wish I could've ridden Scooby Doo.
Scooby-Doo was a great ride. The new one was a buggy mess.
Great video as always man! I agree six flags at Louis is underrated! I loved my experience here and the staff is very nice and the park layout is cool, confusing but cool. Just wish they would give them a new coaster
I agree, this park needs a star coaster and their lineup would be complete.
What a great, thorough review. Thanks.
You're welcome!
I grew up in Nebraska and the only parks my family went to were Disney. I ended up living in St. Louis and last summer got to have an annual pass and had the summer my childhood always wanted. Love Mr. Freeze and the Boss. I felt like Screamin' Eagle was really rough. My back killed after riding it. But the many rides are just really fun and even calm rides like Colossus and the railroad were really nice. Moved a few months ago and hope I can come back sometime in the future!
Mr. Freeze is my favorite there.
@@CanobieCoaster same. Last day I was there I rode it 4x in a row
My first legal job at 15 in 2003. The office for my games section was in the game area at the exit of Screaming Eagle. Less than 500ft from the track and there was technically no back wall, just an awning they could let down if it rained. So every time Eagle came by it would shake and make the deafening noise. I know firsthand they take good care of the ride but since it is so old and we were right there you can see how much the whole frame shakes as the trains go by.
The Boss was so smooth the year it opened. My friends had season passes so I got in as a guest and we went at least once a week that year. You would have no idea now.
When I was a kid the Battle for Metropolis thing was Castaway Kids, and then Scooby Doo. I haven't ridden it since It was Scooby Doo but they kept in the bats in the ceiling at the end from Injun Joe's, what it was when my mom was a kid going to the park. I wonder if they are still there.
Batman is my favorite coaster in the park.
While many of us who have grown up with the park always have love for it, we mourn what it used to be. A lot of bad management and investments as well as just mismanaging money ran it down, hard. I had a weird ride situation and often had to be dropped off two hours before my shift at 6am. I would be allowed to wait in the main office and whew boy, the things I heard when they thought I was listening to headphones.
It's always cool growing up with a park. I grew up with Canobie.
Their collection of coasters is incredible. I love each and every one of them, but I don't find the park as a whole underrated because it was kind of hard for me to enjoy my day because of the horrific operations. I only managed 1 ride on each of the coasters, and that's with Screamin Eagle being down all day (and I was there from park open to close)
Their operations are poor on a few rides, but the lack of lines helps mask it.
someone who gives there honest opinion like me...couldn't agree with you more
I'm happy to see you giving credit to this park for what it is. Some people like to trash on it just because it's not an elite park, but it's still a good park. I have enjoyed my visits here, and it's a convenient stop on my road trips that take me through St Louis. I made 3 pit stops here in 2019 for less than 2 hours each time. I only rode Ninja each time, because the park was slammed, even on a Tuesday, with huge lines (except on Ninja). I was wondering if the light crowds I saw in 2016-2018 were a thing of the past. We'll have to wait and see how it is under normal conditions.
If this park got an elite coaster, I think people would suddenly give it the attention it deserves.
What is an "elite" park anyway? I found Six Flags Over Mid-America to be beautfully landscaped and shady. I almost could not get enough of Screamin' Eagle.
our six flags is so nice man i’m just glad a small city like is has one
True!
this park really surprised me, i feel that removing ninja and replacing it with a raptor and just overall improvements would really bring this park to a higher tier in the chain
They could place the Raptor somewhere else and give Ninja the Blue Hawk treatment.
If they removed Ninja, what are the odd they could get their other mine train back?
i’m going there tomorrow for around the 10th time. it’s a great park and i really enjoy it. great review
Thanks!
Six Flags St. Louis not having a kiddie coaster was literally the catalyst for me to get over my fear of coasters back in 2007 on my first visit there. I find this park to have very good rides and it’s well taken care of maintenance wise, but operationally it could definitely use help, particularly in the foods department. But with the staffing situation plaguing parks everywhere, it’s understandable that there is problems. Also I’ve heard their rides department has their fair share of issues too. Worlds of Fun actually has the best rides department of any Missouri park. Like Worlds of Fun’s rides department has amazing management, great supervisors, and great leadership. Rest In Peace Superman Tower of Power. It was actually Six Flags AstroWorld’s Dungeon Drop before it was at Six Flags St. Louis
Since I visited shortly after they reopened, I was willing to give a pass for slow food service.
I went a short little weekend-vacation trip to St. Louis this weekend, and since it had been ages since I had visited a theme park, I was sure to visit SFSL while I was there. And I have to agree with you, it's very underrated. As I am from Milwaukee I have visited SFGA a number of times, and while it's true that they have a lot more standout roller coasters, I personally found the hour-long wait time for a majority of them to be unbearable. It was so refreshing when I realized how short most of the lines at SL are, I was able to score a ride on Mr. Freeze less than 20 minutes after I stepped foot into the park. As I am also a rail enthusiast, I also appreciated that the steam locomotive that runs on their scenic railway is the real deal, and one of the staff members allowed me to blow the engine's whistle. I feel like a lot of coaster enthusiasts only rank parks by how many coasters they have, which is a shame as SFSL isn't the first theme park I personally really enjoy that gets shafted by a lot of enthusiasts (The other being Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota). Is SL the biggest Six Flags park? No, but bigger isn't always better. If I ever go to St. Louis again I'd love to give the park another visit.
So many Six Flags parks have been quiet this year.
The staff there is great, I went there last weekend for opening day and the staff that were walking around were super helpful
Glad to hear!
thanks for the feed back
I think six flags St. Louis is actually a fun place. It may not have the best coaster collection, but you can still have a good time there!
With one elite coaster, this park would be set.
@@CanobieCoaster I agree, this park is just fun, but it does need an elite coaster.
Thanks for talking about more than just the coasters, I love coasters but knowing there's a Justice League shooter dark ride just totally sold me on the park when I was on the fence about going before
The dark ride is a nice change of pace from the thrill rides.
The Boss hasn't been the same since they removed the helix. It desperately needs a rmc treatment.
I wish I could've ridden it with the helix.
@@CanobieCoaster The last time I rode the Boss was the last time before the helix was removed!!!! It's a okay the helix. It was a really long turn for me.
I’d prefer a titan track over the RMC treatment. The Boss has a thrill like no other coaster I’ve ridden and I’d be upset seeing it’s layout changed up.
Yes it’s rough, but the Boss was primal and untamed before it’s 720 was neutered. I haven’t been on it after the change, so I won’t try to inject too much opinion on its current configuration, but the finale was one of my favorite sections of the ride. If it had the RMC treatment or something similar, I wonder if they would restore its original layout…
Great background music!
Thanks!
This is my home Six Flags in that I live about 60 miles away from it, and I have loved it ever since I was a kid. I think it definitely has a solid roller coaster collection. I have purchased a season pass for this year, but I haven't been there for several years. I can't wait to revisit it time and time again this year. The Boss and Batman are my top two coasters there, although I haven't been on Mr. Freeze since they reversed it. I am looking forward to checking that out. I have to say XCalibur ranks as one of my favorite rides there. Tom's Twister was a fun ride while it made you stick to the wall as it went in circles. I don't think it is still there. I do enjoy the Ninja, although I wouldn't be mad if they took it out and replaced it with a better coaster. It looks like the Raptor would be pretty great.
I wish they got another new coaster.
Ive been going to 6 flags st louis since I was a kid and I was severely disappointed when they took out the bumper cars for the boomerang. Over the years its seemed to loose its old school carnival feel for a newer sterile feel and it makes me sad. The small games like the rc cars and boats and the more dense greenery disappearing along with things like the old swings and bumper cars for more concrete just irks me.
That isn't the best boomerang either.
Couldn't agree more. And replacing the rush street flyer with fireball is just a slap in the face. Personally, fireball is a waste of space and very boring, I don't even bother with it when I see the traveling versions at carnivals. Skye screamer is fine, but the swings were a step up for smaller kids that was taken away. I also think the highland fling is better that the supergirl ride there now. Will always miss Tom's twister and Castaway kids too!
Overall, the empty store fronts, worn down exteriors, old rides that have been neglected and watered down and the lack of shows now...it just isn't what it used to be. I'm holding out the fright fest will be okay but not getting my hopes up.
Side note: we took our kiddos this past weekend and hurricane harbor had most slides closed. My kids got a rash that our pediatrician suspects may be sand mite bites and the chlorine in the wave pool resulted in a mild chemical burn to my eye. So definetly not visiting hurricane harbor again sadly. It used to be the best! Miss the bucket
I thought of visiting all 3 Missouri parks in one vacation but now I am not sure because of the distance between all 3 of them. That won't be a problem for me but it might be for otheres I go with. So my question is do you think I should visit all of them in one trip or take individual trips and experience them one at a time?
Silver Dollar City is the must. For me, I have to fly to Kansas City or St. Louis. So you have two parks right there. You can then add the 3rd park with a 3.5 hour detour (creating a triangle) or you just retrace your original route.
@@CanobieCoaster Well based on how great the park is from what I heard and how Big Cedar Lodge down the street is the perfect place to stay for a few days, I will definitely be taking a stand alone trip to Branson one year. I think what I'll do first is visit Silver Dollar City alone one trip than visit St. Louis followed by Kansas City on another visit and then stop at Silver Dollar City on the way back. We'll see.
Any ninja or boomerang POV coming up ☺️ I'm actually very interested going to ride on both of those rides and those are two of my bucket list coasters to go to St Louis very soon in the near future in the next couple of years if they're still there 😁👍
I don't have immediate plans to review them. Six Flags is strict on POVs so I don't have any from their coasters.
i got mr freeze and the 3 woodies on POV from opening day ..check them out Cobraz
The Ninja is rough, but I recommend it. Batman is also awesome.
Everytime I try to ride the sky screamer there’s maintenance problems..maybe they should just tear it down and put something else there?
Sounds like you've had similar experiences to me.
I've always said that The Boss is one of the big 3 Woodies in the Six Flags chain (along with Roar at Six Flags America and Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake) that I think will be redone at some point; be it a full on RMC IBox conversion, GCI Titan Track conversion or a simple full on retracking/new trains.
Any of those would work!
I went to Six Flags St. Louis for the first time earlier this year in July, to celebrate graduating from high school, and I had a blast there. I enjoyed all the coasters there, especially Mr. Freeze. Launching backwards at 70mph is something everyone needs to experience, it was indescribably thrilling. The Batman is another good coaster, it basically has no straight sections outside of the initial lift hill, and once it drops off that hill it is a non-stop barrage of twists and turns and loops, it was super intense and super fun. The park was busy but not crowded when I went their and even at the height of the day the longest waits were an only an hour which I thought was fine. The park was immaculately clean and well maintained when I was there, I never saw any trash or signs of neglect there. The parks location is really great, the Ozarks are a beautiful region of wooded rolling hills, and that makes it easy for the park to look good, because nature does half the work for them. If you wanna visit a theme park in Missouri Six Flags St. Louis is a great choice, it's got a great location and some really good coasters.
Glad you enjoyed your visit!
I promise when the Batman first opened at SFSTL, that whole queue line was necessary and filled.
Wow!
same with the boss
Outside of the distinctive way you pronounce ‘Soup-man’, I find your videos enjoyable and, quite frankly, helpful.
Thank you
You're welcome! I'm from Boston, so I guess I want to drop the r in Superman lol.
Interesting. You don’t reveal an accent in other instance. For instance, you don’t say ‘Pauk’ instead of park.
I visited in April on Easter weekend. Mr Freeze was closed the entire day. Ninja was under construction. And the screaming Eagle was super rough and i banged my head several times, I had that same issue with boomerang. It was still pretty fun
That's a bummer Freeze was down.
please do six flags over Georgia next I like these park/coater review weeks
I want to get back there again before making a review.
Lower teir six flags are epic because the lines are shorter.
Fair!
@@CanobieCoaster In fact, the front area was themed after a World's Fair.
I wonder what their next coaster could be? 🤔 excluding a potential rmc conversion, I think the raptor is ideal.
It sure would.
I know I have a bit of bias since this is my home park, but I tend to throw the boss up there in my favorite rides for the night ride alone. With the trims due to the removal of the double helix, it’s not quite as great, but throw titan track on that baby and modify the end (so you can get those trims weakened), and you have yourself a ride better than millennium force for sure.
I may not think Boss could beat Millennium Force with just Titan track, but it surely would be better.
@@CanobieCoaster I need to rank my credits, so I can see where the boss lands, but currently I can say I have it above diamond back, nitro and ttd.
Anyone who reads this, I have a question. If six flags wanted to put an rmc in st Louis, which wooden coaster should they rmc?
Boss
Did Mr. Freeze get updated at some point? When I was younger, I would have sworn you were shot out forward, then came back into the loading station in reverse.
They flipped it a few years ago.
Ahh! Probably to mix up the experience a bit. I used to visit Six Flags multiple times a year before moving out of the area 9 years ago.
I was surprised to hear that the park no longer has a kiddie coaster. I wonder when they got rid of it. They had one when I used to go there with my dad as a kid. Of course, that was back in the 80’s. I remember when they first opened mine train, ninja, and Batman.
I'm surprised they haven't readded one.
I agree with you that a kiddie coaster would be a really good fit for this Park. I'm honestly very surprised that they do not have one
Me too.
They used to, very very long ago, even before my time lol. I agree that a mini coaster would be nice, especially for the kids too short for mine train but still want to participate in a " thrill" ride.
Sky Screamer actually got stuck at the top with people on it this past saturday, and because of that Mr. Freeze was delayed, but by the middle of the afternoon all 9 coasters were running. The worst wait of the day ended up being the wait for food
Could maintenance not get to Mr. Freeze because of Sky Screamer?
@@CanobieCoaster I think that was the case, maintenance probably prioritized Sky Screamer since it had people on it. Mr. Freeze was having a problem with its launch/break system and the trains wouldn't go completely back into the station and required a worker to push it in during test runs. But both rides were fixed and running within 2 hours
The food is so expensive. My family just brings a lunch whenever we go.
@@istolethispfpsorry485 I have a dining pass, so I get two meals and a snack for free each visit
RMC Boss seems like an absolute no-brainer, even if they wanted to be cheap and only make it 125ft tall or so
I agree!
Wish they make it at 175 feet tall or 200.
Personally, I’d rather just see a titan track on it.
@@kingdave747 Of course, but this is Six Flags and an Untamed-size RMC would be fantastic if they are not willing to spend on a potential worlds-best coaster.
@@TheWolfXCIX agreed
St. Louis is a really great six flags i been their about 8 times and they got really thriller roller coasters Batman mrs freeze the boss American thunder boomerang and more rides but super man is leaving St. Louis i hate that for other people but like we still got Batman the boss and all those awesome roller coasters but on the boss you get really good Air time on it and it fast and ruff but probably not ruffer then screaming eagle but nothing gonna change my mind from leaving St. Louis six flags I’m never trading St. Louis six flags
It's a bummer to see Superman go. It was a great drop tower.
I went to six flags st louis for the first time 2 months ago. I had a good overall day. The park exceeded expectations in terms of upkeep and aesthetics. I heard from many that it was a concrete jungle but I found it to actually be the nicest looking six flags park out of the 7 I've been to. I also thought the coaster exceeded expectations. Boss and Mr Freeze were both 9/10 for me with Batman and American thunder being fantastic supporting coasters. However, I there were some things that hindered my day. Coaster dispatches and ops were beyond awful and when the park was slammed for Easter weekend it meant 40min waits for rides that at a cedar fair park it would be 10min. Food ops were awful as well. It took 1hr to get food as locations were full up on the dining plan and I remember not even liking the food items I got. I still enjoyed my day though.
This one has a lot more greenery than the others.
"I want to go on something more thrilling than Log Flume 1."
Lol
the ninja is actually a codeveloped ride between arrow and vekoma. and was used when we got it. its my home park, but ive let my season pass expire.
That helps explain its roughness.
Is superman tower of power open or closed down for good?
It's SBNO right now, but it will be removed for Catwoman Whip.
@@CanobieCoaster ok thanks for that heads up.
My fav park, the scenery is so nice
It does look great.
Alright its me the great escape fanboy. Obviously I'm here to say that great escape is the most underrated park, but st. Louis is definitely underrated, and needs some more love. They need a hyper, an rmc conversion to boss, and a updated kiddie area plus some new waterpark attractions. Also, nice music in the background
Six Flags St. Louis has everything except the standout coaster.
Well in all fairness, Mr. Freeze is their hyper. Plus a GCI conversion/retrack of Boss would work just fine.
@@coasternamegenerator5611 by hyper, I mean like something by mack, b&m, or chance. Mr freeze is a hyper coaster, but it's not a standout ride
This is my home park and I love it and I’m pretty biased towards it.
No shame in loving your home park!
Going tomorrow for the first time and curious what the bag policy is. Do you have to use lockers or can you leave your bag at the platform?
@@melcik629 I never bring bags with me, but I believe they have cubbies on the platform.
@@melcik629 sorry I just saw this but most coasters have bins. I think mine train me American thunder don’t have bins but I could be wrong. And I think all the flat rides have bins
I "agree!!!" I visited the park in 2001. Also Silver Dollar City 2 days b 4. Both were extremely fun. SF St. Louis was clean, friendly, the water park was great & the food was good. It does have a nice hilly location. I went when the Boss & water park were fairly new. I love the railroad (while propane fired) It's still live steam, unlike SF Atlanta. I spent a most enjoyable day there & returned to Hannibal, MO for more Tom Sawyer Days. Post 911 was my 1st visit to WDW.
I need to try the train next time.
@@CanobieCoaster It's really cool. I was a former RR engineer @ the now defunct 6 f AstroWorld. Tommy G. Robinson was the brother Of Ronnie Roberson 6f AW director of Maintenance.
I went as a kid many years ago, and I went back in 2020 and spent a few hours at the park on my way to Silver Dollar City. For me SFSL needs a standout coaster. I found that Boss, Screaming Eagle, American Thunder, Mr Freeze, and Batman are all great supporting coasters. The park needs to either RMC Boss or better yet give this park a RMC Raptor, which would allow the park to keep all of those supporting coasters. I did feel that the setting was better than some SF parks. I would say it is underrated but I think Over Georgia is the most underrated Six Flags park. Their roller coaster line-up is really good and I feel they have the standout top 2 in Twisted Cyclone and Goliath.
I agree a Raptor or RMC Boss completely changes this park.
The only other six flags park that I’ve been to and I rlly enjoy. Boss, screaming eagle and Mr freeze in my eyes is one of my favorite trios at different parks
It's a much different lineup than others.
I went to the children’s hospital event yesterday and half of my class was there we all had so much fun riding the boss like 5 times it was so fun but sadly screamin eagle was closed
I saw Eagle is closed for the removal of Superman and construction of Catwoman
I am going this week! Well, If my plans don’t fail because there is something that could stop me from going.
Hope you can make it!
When are you going to Six Flags St Louis next?
I don't have any immediate plans to visit.
i dont know why you chose this music for whatever reason but its hilarious
You're welcome.
I’ve never been but I hope to get there in May or June
Enjoy!
I remember when I was a kid the massive cue lines would be totally full.
Wow!
Excalibur use to be at Six Flags Great Adventure as Evolution. It was always shut down at Six Flags Great Adventure when I went. Looks to be doing good at Six Flags St Louis.
I'm glad it was open for me in 2020.
Six Flags St Louis is my home park and I can say that Excalibur is shut down most of the time. It's very rare to see it up and running.
for boss to run it needs to be above 54.F and have half of the car to run smoothly or atleast 8 bags of two 50lbs bars of lead ( 2 bar in 1 bag)
Thanks!
Went to this park 3 weeks ago. Boss and American thunder were both down. Park was in horrible condition maintenance wise. My family goes every year and this year was disappointing.
That stinks. I didn't have those issues in my 2018 or 2020 visits.
Scooby Doo Ghostblasters scared the crap out of me as a kid!
It looked cool.
The Boss used to absolutely tear through the second half of the layout, but they started trimming it around the time they removed the helix. It sucks.
P.S. Night rides during Fright Fest were insane as well. I honestly believe that a lot of people who dislike The Boss would change their tune if they actually got a night ride, but given how it crawls around the turn after the MCBR, even on a hot day in the summer, I imagine it's not open for Fright Fest anymore. Guess I was lucky to get a front seat night ride a few years back.
I wish I could have experienced it like that.
SILVER DOLLAR CITY IS AMAZING!!
Absolutely!
As a kid the scooby doo ride was my favorite thing to do and I also rode all the coasters
I wish I could've ridden Scooby.
Last time I rode Scooby Doo was back in 2011. I was 11 years old at the time and was scared of coasters, so that was my favorite ride there. I was so upset when they changed it to Justice League. It's not as good as Scooby was, imo.
I remember back in the 70’s 80’s there was a kid coaster can’t remember why they got rid of it
I saw that on rcdb.
mr freeze is a shuttle coaster, why would it be 2 train opps?
It has a special sliding platform so they can load a train while another is on the course.
The sandbags on Boss are actually bags of lead.
Wow!
@@CanobieCoaster a worker told me that. If it was sand, it likely would’ve valleyed at some point because lead is heavier
Home sweet home
Good park!
RIP Superman
It will be missed.
This was my home park as a kid
Nice!
Mr. Freeze breaks your neck lol
I find it smooth.
Just an update on six flags st louis. Catwoman whip replaced superman tower of power. This means that superman tower of power no longer exists in six flags st louis.
I was sad to see Superman go.
The log flume used to have more creative names like Hoo-Hoo and ice mountain splash
Those are better.
I keep imagining the Boss with a complete GCI re-track and all trims removed - just like GR.. Dare to dream, and I'd honestly prefer that to an RMC just this once.
That would be great.
I visit six flags stl all the time. its super cheap after all and has a pretty nice experience. but stl has improved alot. I saw the boss and screamin eagle run 3 and RARELY 1 train
I enjoy the park for what it is.
When I was a kid battle for Metropolis was called engine Joe's Cavern
I remember seeing it as Scooby Doo.
@@CanobieCoaster imagine how people would act if they had a bunch of Indians in there now ready to scalp the white man Six Flags would be boycotted
@@CanobieCoaster Six Flags St Louis had many themes for those dark rides over the years. The first was Injun Joe's Cave (1971-1978), Then Tunnel Del Tiempo (1979-1988), Legends of the Dark Castle (1989-1992), Castaway Kids Comic Book Adventure (1993-1999), Scooby Doo Ghostbusters: Mystery of the Scary Swamp (2002-2014), and most recent, Justice League: Battle for Metropolis (2015-present).
Six Flags St Louis is like the worlds of fun of the six flags chain, good collection of coasters, but hasn’t gotten a good quality coasters since the mid 2000’s
That's fair. The last huge addition was Justice League.
Yep, that is a very accurate comparison. My home park is WoF, and ironically this is the one thing people from KC and STL can ACTUALLY agree and relate with each other on. Haha
I was there not too long ago almost half the park was closed every ride vibrated it more than any other park I’ve ever been to and rides are extremely limited
I'm sorry you had a bad visit. I haven't had those issues visiting in summer.
I think rjc raptor will be coming since they are getting rid of superman
A Raptor would be a perfect fit.
school orchstra is the ebst cause were having a feild trip there tomorrow! (good luck to me sleeping)
Enjoy!
as a eureka resident, mr freeze is arguably the best ride I’ve ever rode
It's a great one.
@@CanobieCoaster very
I love this park although I am biased I work there lol 😂
Nice!
I remember when the Batman ride came out in 1995 and the line was 2 hrs long.
Wow!
Justice League Battle for Metropolis is literally shit compared to Scooby Doo Ghostblasters. Yes I ridden both. I love ridding Scooby Doo.
I wish I could've ridden the old one.
@@CanobieCoaster it was so much better then the piece of shit that’s there now.
If they RMC the boss, it'll give this park the great stand-out coaster that SFSTL DESPERATELY needs again. I hate seeing my home park neglected by the chain. (Can only imagine how Frontier City people feel.) If RMC Boss happens, I'd be able to ride it! I've been strongly advised to not ride it be everyone I know because of its extreme roughness. I've heard rumors about RMC Boss in 2025 multiple times online, talking about how the park's general manager is trying to get it to happen, and that they were planning to do it in 2021 for the park's 50th anniversary, but I haven't been able to find any sources.
I'd love for RMC Boss.
Mr. Freeze by design CAN'T run two trains as it's a single track that goes back and forth on the same track in both directions. I believe at one time Screamn' Eagle did operate two trains but one was removed some years ago.
Mr. Freeze has a dual load platform that slides over to the main track, which allows it to run 2 safely if they choose.
Rank all of Missouris coasters maybe?
He already did?
@@mitchellries256 ok ty
I released that last year.
I love it I go every year it is awesome there
Nice!
I really miss Scooby-Doo ghostblasters
Justice League is good at least.
I agree with EVERYTHING he says!
Nice!
Personally I have a high tolerance for rough rides and love them though my top 3 coasters here are
1. Mr freeze
2. The boss
3. Batman
Nice!

Superman was a great ride.
