I still want to see the gates/locker/bathroom area get a redo, maybe even modernize/update the worn facades. But it's great seeing so much visual improvements in such a short amount of time around the park.
There is a rumor going around that Runaway Mine Train and Medusa will also be closed early in the year but it's a rumor and that needs to be stressed heavily.
That may be the case. However, we’ve been stuck with Six Flags CEOs for the past ten years that valued allocating funds for cheap new rides to each park rather than allocating funds to park upkeep and beautification projects.
It’s just nice to see leadership in place that values the importance of park upkeep and atmosphere again. 🤷♂️
I call this upkeep. Otherwise, the park has been working on "beautification projects" since as long as I have been on SFSTL.net.
"This year the park is focusing on landscaping and painting." I do this every spring. Hell, I even replaced some aged concrete a few years ago. I painted my livingroom this year.
Six Flags has been grasping at relevance with the least amount of money and effort, year after year.
I was planning to visit Six Flags Great Adventure in mid April 11 through the 14th for 3 or 4 days. This is my first time going to the park so I was wondering how busy the park gets during spring break that week in April. I will also be getting a diamond season pass. Will all the coasters other then El Toro and rides been fully open? The park is open during that whole week and I have a week off from work so I'd like to make a trip out to Great Adventure.
Wow! I am so happy to see so many projects getting done at Six Flags parks! I love seeing the kids coasters and interactive attractions, but I love these infrastructure improvements. Ramar posted these pics of one of the new seating areas, and this looks great! I bet this will get a lot of use. He’s also shown that Joker’s Jinx’s sign and trains are in the works of being repainted as well as thematic elements around the kid’s area.
Same! Quite a few of the Six Flags parks have been working on numerous infrastructure and beautification projects and I’ll be excited to see what else Six Flags St. Louis has in store. I don’t know if my boyfriend and I will be able to make it out for opening weekend, but definitely the weekend after.
I’ll be excited to see the progress on Rookie Racer. Looking back at the concept art, it looks like they’ll build a little plaza for it as well as a viewing/seating area beside the coaster. I really hope they reroute Boss’ queue to have its entrance at this plaza.
More Tundra Twister pieces have arrived at the park recently! I love the wood-like detail added to the ride! I can't wait to try it when it opens this Spring!
I absolutely expect it to go over Iron Dragon.
I honestly expect enthusiasts to mostly hate this and complain about the weaker launch and how much better it used to be or whatever and I'm so here for it.
