Glad you had fun at the fair! We had an opportunity to go to the summer fair in Dusseldorf when we were there in July (no Olympia Looping but Alpina Bahn was there) and had every intention of going ........BUT after a soaking wet cold day at Movie Park Germany, a late arrival back to the hotel due to a detour for someone who got ill on the bus and urgently needed us to stop at a gas station, and the fact that the next day was an early start and a jam packed day at Phantasialand; we never made it. Knew we would regret it later but knew just as strongly at the time that all we wanted were hot showers and a warm bed, but that was our only real hiccup on the trip so won't dwell on it. -
Also seeing reports on Twitter that Harley Quinn Crazy Train derailed last night. It's just one thing after another at this place. Maybe Cedar Fair knows what they're doing by closing Kingda Ka because it was probably getting close to also derailing (but at 128mph) and launching its train into the baboon habitat. -

This is an interesting concept of what the park will be getting. -

^Pardon my memory burp, but .... I did ValleyFair in 1976. Yep, I was there in late June of 1976. One month after it had just opened . The first lesson I ever learned about theme park visiting, was at ValleyFair, and it involved the sacred " exit/re-enter hand stamp." I was waiting outside for my ride, hadn't gotten the stamp, and then had 'that feeling,' and had to talk my way into a park washroom, while a staff member accompanied me for the journey. Very embarrassing, but I definitely learned from that event. I always get my hand stamp at parks, even if i don't come back .... 'cause ya never know, hmmm? 😳 -

We're looking into going to Hockey Day in January. Prepared for nothing to be running (although winter has been weird here the last couple of years, who knows?). This will be our first Hockey Day we've ever been to. Has anyone been? Any insight on what rides are most cold resilient? -

Nah.......I absolutely cannot agree with that. It isn't just about being a ride. Historic carousels are art history. I would rather it take a decade and receive the proper craftmanship than be quick fixed or sell it to some park that can provide the proper craftmanship IF SFSTL cannot do it. If the complaint is strictly "we don't have a carousel to ride" there are plenty of others around town. The St. Louis Carousel in Faust Park is just as historic as the PTC at SF and it underwent a years long refurb, I believe longer than the current one we are discussing, and is alive and well.......and appreciated. Now I do think the park needs to be way more transparent about what the delay is, I mean just be honest about it whatever the problem (I suspect keeping qualified artists on the job MAY be a factor but of course I am speculating) The point is when they don't explain people do speculate and are often wrong, when the true explanation is given the populace is usually pretty accepting of the whole thing. Why is necessary to constantly pinpoint a year that is "our year"? And I am not saying you specifically, clearly lots of people do it. These are first world problems; really we could all just be accepting of whatever happens when it happens, particularly since none of us have ANY control over it whatsoever. -

Thank God another Super Loop bites the dust. The sad part is this will bring down their coaster count. Luckily, I'm sure they will ship it to Saint Louis. -

Photos of the soon to be removed La Vibora and El Diablo! It is expected that a shiny new B&M Dive Coaster will take their place. Stay tuned! We can see the fence stretches all the way around both rides -

It's gloomy as in it confirms the park is going to get shit on once again in terms of any roller coaster investments. For years, naysayers echoed, "next year is our year!" In most recent years, the chant has been modified to, "Next year won't be our year, but probably the year after that!" What do I know, though? I've only been witnessing it since the birth and death of SFSTL.net. It reminds me of the Saint Louis Blues. I heard, "Next year is our year," for 34 years until it finally came time to be our year. Arguably, our last major thrill coaster has been operating since 1998. Maybe we're finally within a ten year range of getting something worthwhile, but it won't be until after 2026. 2027... that's our year. -
Yes, Voodoo Jumper is a crazy ride. Lots of effects (fog, flames, lights). -

Non news. All that article is saying is that SFStL wasn't mentioned immediately among the chain's 2026 confirmed capital plans. Fiesta Texas isn't on that list, but they're not getting rid of it. -
