Hearing the "crown jewel" talk is surprising to a degree, but also not surprising as well. The bones of the park and setting seem good enough to where someone with an actual plan could probably make a good amount of money with it. SFSL is like an earlier game (and therefore easier) roller coaster tycoon level that's fun to play where you inherit a park that already has some good attractions and fun terrain as well as some decent space to add-on, but isn't attracting new visitors. Your task is to improve the overall guest happiness by improving the theming/decor and adding a marquee roller coaster or two. And much like roller coaster tycoon or some other theme park game, there's probably very much a time limit involved for the new company to accomplish said goals here! If nothing else, I am so happy that this park is no longer under the thumb of the horrible previous ownership. What a dumpster fire of an org that turned out to be. In regards to the money people being based in KC and therefore it doesn't matter because the actual park management is based in Florida, yeah that's probably not totally true going by real world experience. You WANT the bean counters to be able to take their kids to a park(s) they are helping finance, even if they technically aren't "involved" in that side of the business! -

It's great to see that they're replacing a classic with something quite similar! This used to be Der Bahn Speed Slides, an early attraction that featured a body slide along a similar route. I rode it last summer, and it was a blast, though it was pretty rough on the body, haha. I'm really looking forward to all the enhancements coming this summer! -

Correct - Innovative Attractions rebranded to Enchanted Parks. All the parks were part of the fixed package except for St. Louis. They apparently demanded that our park be included to make the deal. Read some where enchanted parks management is going to be on site soon. Their CEO seems engaged and Enchanted Parks customer service on social media appears to be very responsive -

Seriously though, continuing to maintain historic rides like the carousel and Screamin Eagle will be an early indicator of what type of operator the new company intends to be. -

My bad. I was confusing EPR as an acronym for Enchanted Parks. I thought Innovative Attractions was the FL company but apparently that is the former name of what is now Enchanted Parks? Hope I have that straight. Aanyway I was just looking for reasons they went after these specific parks since 4 of them are clustered somewhat regionally. If it is true that they wanted SFSTL specifically then it implies that SF had some flexibility on what they were willing to sell, not necessarily a fixed list. Just curious how it all came down. -

After all of that work they put into that damed carousel …. -
Is this The crown jewel though? Valleyfair looks pretty good. The park has two mine trains.

Enchanted Parks is NOT headquartered in KC. They are HQ in Florida. EPR the company that only owns the land is HQ in KC. There is a difference. Enchanted does not own the land. They lease the park and manage the park. Enchanted wanted the STL park. -
By teacherkim · Posted
Yeah that has been reported in more than one place. Let's hope it's true. EnPark is headquartered in KC so I'm sure getting both MO parks was very much on their radar. -
No, they're saying the exact opposite - they're saying that SFStL has potential, potential that was being ignored, not only by the newly combined SFEC but also Legacy-Six for decades. You do realize that one of the other parks that SFEC sold, Valleyfair, was the "Fair" part of the Cedar Fair name, right? This sale didn't pick sides. You should look on the bright side; if the park wasn't sold to EnPark, there's a good likelihood it would have just been closed SFA-style. -
