Oof. Spinner Strata Shuttle? In this economy? Very Gilded Age -
both can be true! tho I love that you drive, ya gotta admit, we have a BLAST together, and so yes, you are tops as an "event partner" ❤️ -
apparently the deal was contingent on SFStL being part of the parks sold. not sure if it's true, but have now seen it reported several places that THIS park was the one they wanted most.
-
What pisses me off, and has been bothering me since the announcement is this: they are going to "concentrate on the Six Flags Parks with the greatest potential for innovation, expansion, and elevated guest experiences". So they are saying we are a lower tier park with no potential. Way to dis us on the way out like Kroenke did to St. Louis when he moved the Rams to LA. With the 2026 gold passes we got last summer we had the all park admission perk. We used them at Cedar Point in September, and will likely again this coming September. (There is an e-sports tournament at the Kalahari in Sandusky we attend, and will likely continue to attend for the next few years.) So finally a nice perk we could take advantage of, and its gone after this year. As Kim pointed out, SFSTL is a legacy park. One of only three actually built by Six Flags. No doubt the former Cedar Fair management who now run the show don't give a shit about legacy. I've been going to the park since it opened in 1971. It was our Disneyland. We were a family of seven with modest means, so our annual trip to Six Flags was kind of our summer vacation. I had season passes the summers between 7th & 8th grades, and 8th grand and high school, and practically lived at the park. As an adult our family has had season passes since 2005. Despite the park's flaws chronicaled here over the years, we supported the park and felt a certain pride of having our own theme park here in St Louis, a short drive away. Just like we used to have our own airline (TWA), our own aero-space company (McDonnell-Douglas), our own major brewery (AB), and more, it just seems like we are losing another piece of St. Louis by being cast off by Six Flags to some unknown start up. It feels like a pretty hard kick in the shins. Will we give the new operators a chance in 2027? Maybe. We'll have to see what they do with the prices, what the plan is, and if they really do value us as their crown jewel and invest in our park accordingly. Mike -

Do you love me as an event partner or because I will do all the driving, lol? Just kidding, can't wait, the weekend should turn out to be super Fetch! 😘 -

I think the thing they did wrong was to be located on land that became more valuable than all the other assets of the park 😉 I would have to assume all the DC themeing will go, easy enough to change the name of a coaster or flat. The question is what about Justice League? That would have to be a complete ride re do -

I'm sure you are probably correct, because unlimited drinks are listed as a benefit on the passes on the app. I just think they bundled it together so seamlessly that I never considered it an add-on. Kind of a moot point now. For this year it appears the same and as stated above kind of a moot point now, lol. The NEW question is will they allow you to move the membership to a new home park in the SF chain or is that now the end of memberships for many people. And will those of us whose home parks are no more even find it worth while to keep the membership? -

Well I guess deep down we all kinda knew it was coming. It's one of those things that are shocking but at the same time not surprising at all. Nothing to do but think happy thoughts and adopt a wait and see stance. IF it's true that it was considered the "crown jewell" (I saw that too) then theoretically it should be a good thing as it would be at the top tier of investment. Of course we have no idea how much the new company has for investment or what the quality of that investment will be. I really don't care about the DC theming but if they can't use it for Justice League they will have to basically have a whole new ride. Same ride system and track but essentially an all new ride. Maybe that will end up being the first "new" attraction. Curious to see if they honor ACE Coaster Con, in 2027 it was already announced that it would be held at SDC and SFSTL. I think this might say more about the shape SF is in than anything else. If they were willing to let one of their original parks go, one that has always been reported as being profitable, then they might be in more trouble than anyone really thought. On the other hand if you live near MM or GAdv or CP or any of the parks still in the SF chain you are probably relatively happy as it should mean, again theoretically, that they will have more investment for those parks. If nothing else it will be interesting to see how it turns out over the next few years. -
Allow me to introduce: removepaywall.com Option 3 tends to always work for me, but sometimes you need to archive the page you're looking for yourself. -
I agree. SF wanted DL back and I believe an option to purchase was part of the original lease agreement IIRC. It would not suprise me one bit if they did outright buy it. As has been stated many times DL has multiple revenue streams. Also if the premise was to exit from the EPR lease, why send SFA "parts" to DL. Also, I was thinking about the low sale price for the 7 Enchanted parks, possibly being tied into a DL sale to SF. Again, just speculating. -

I read a separate article about that, too. It was on my phone and I'm too lazy to find it. Every printed press site I try to access wants me to sign up for a subscriptuion, and who the fuck would do that? Apparently SFStl was one of the last parks to be acquired and Enchanted really fought hard for it. The company stated they're interested growth with the park, including new thrills. They are planning to redo Justice League into a new dark ride. IIRC they may have even mentioned a new roller coaster. I can't wait to see how much goes to shit this season. -
Enchanted Parks CEO has referred to Six Flags St. Louis as "the crown jewel" of the new chain. New name in 2027 will be Mid-America by Enchanted Parks, an homage to the park's original name, Six Flags Over Mid-America. (reported by Screamscape). Not sure how I feel about all of this. Quite a bit of negativity at my end how Six Flags Entertainment views our park, casting it aside like on old, worn out toy. Mike

Wow I wonder how many rides will have their name changed to something else!? -

Shanghai Disney Resort has announced a year-long celebration of the resort's 10th anniversary. New and enhanced entertainment offerings, limited-time food and beverage options, specialty merchandise, unique character costumes and more can be experienced during this special event! https://disneyparksblog.com/shdl/shanghai-disney-resort-10th-anniversary-celebration/ The 10th anniversary of Shanghai Disney Resort kicks off on March 20! This year-long celebration invites everyone to enjoy all-new entertainment, shimmering décor, festive eats, exclusive merchandise, and more across the entire resort. There’s so much you won’t want to miss during “With You, It’s Magic+,” so we’ve got you covered with the ultimate guide to the 10th anniversary. Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Entertainment The Heart of Magic A brand-new entertainment production takes the castle stage to new heights for the 10th Birthday. “The Heart of Magic” will unfold across Enchanted Storybook Castle, now complete with three satellite stages and connecting bridges that bring you closer than ever to the story. Mickey and Friends will embark on a quest to restore the Heart of Magic, joined by beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Cinderella, Winnie the Pooh, Tangled, Mulan, Hercules, Frozen, and Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story, Coco, and Turning Red. Hercules will make his Shanghai Disneyland debut, and Miguel steps out for his first major park role at the park. Beautiful new couture outfits, timeless melodies, and cinematic staging will create a show you won’t want to miss. Mickey’s Storybook Express with New Birthday Additions To celebrate this big milestone, the fan-favorite parade “Mickey’s Storybook Express” will receive two exciting additions. FriendSHIP! The Duffy and Friends’ Special Pre-Parade Sailing ahead of Mickey’s Storybook Express, an adorable new float shaped like a golden ship, decorated with playful waves, a telescope, and shimmering birthday details brings Duffy and Friends to life in a whole new way at Shanghai Disney Resort. Catch all seven friends onboard in new celebratory attire — plus selected guests will even join the procession for an extra-special moment. All-New Zootopia Parade Float A high-energy Zootopia party will roll in as part of Mickey’s Storybook Express featuring superstar Gazelle’s concert bus. The celebration will hit full throttle as Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde lead an upbeat Zootopia bash, joined by DJ Officer Clawhauser spinning lively tracks. Surrounding the vibrant concert bus, a vibrant troupe of Zootopia residents will amp up the excitement, including Gary De’Snake winding himself into playful knots, newly elected mayor Brian Winddancer leaning out with confidence, and the Big family will join the festivities too! Together, they will fuel a high‑spirited street party elevated by infectious performances of “Try Everything” from Zootopia and “Zoo” from Zootopia 2. Illuminate! A Nighttime Celebration The dazzling nighttime spectacular shines brighter than ever on Enchanted Storybook Castle. The reimagined “Illuminate! A Nighttime Celebration” will debut a grand new finale where Mickey Mouse appears in a flash of magic sparkles, wearing a majestic new magician ensemble. Fountains, lasers, fireworks, and projections will turn the Gardens of Imagination into a festive party. Plus, a brand-new segment inspired by Disney Animation’s Wish will feature Asha, Star, and the inspirational lyrics of “This Wish”. More Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Entertainment Adding even more fun to the celebration, the all-new Star Squad will bring extra cheer to seasonal entertainment throughout the year, stepping out in dazzling, star‑themed outfits that brighten every corner of the resort. Kicking things off in spring, energetic dancers will invite guests to join in the fun everywhere, starting moments before the “FriendSHIP! The Duffy and Friends’ Special Pre-Parade,” then for fun summer moments with Chip ‘n’ Dale at Gardens of Imagination, autumn’s playful spook-tacular cavalcade, the Winter Royal Ball’s Disney Princesses and Princes encounters, and the lively Zootopia Street Party during Chinese New Year. Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Food and Drink Shanghai Disney Resort will be serving up a delicious lineup of 10th anniversary treats all year long. In a nod to one of China’s most iconic birthday traditions, noodle dishes will appear across menus throughout the resort. The culinary journey continues with signature flavors hailing from cities around China, providing guests from across the country with a wide array of options to enjoy distinctive treats infused with a Disney twist. Fan-favorite snacks from the past decade will also return and 10th anniversary souvenirs — like new popcorn buckets, cups, and straw clips inspired by the park’s favorite snacks — will let you bring the magic home. Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Merchandise The largest dedicated merchandise collection in Shanghai Disney Resort history will debut for the milestone year. Plush, apparel, accessories, collectibles, and more will feature glimmering designs inspired by Mickey and Friends, Duffy and Friends, and Enchanted Storybook Castle. And for the first time, new interactive and personalized elements give guests ways to express themselves, including the all-new Magic Wand, which lets guests summon and collect magic throughout the park. Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Characters In honor of the celebration, Mickey and Friends, as well as Duffy and Friends, will don brand-new birthday outfits designed just for the occasion. Inspired by the glimmering celebration theme, the outfits will burst with wishing star magic. Even More Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Anniversary Fun to Discover Shimmering Décor Everywhere You Look From the moment you arrive at the gate, anniversary magic shines brightly. A new Mickey Floral display will feature the 10th anniversary logo and a playful birthday hat, while glimmering stars and hidden 10th motifs will appear throughout the park, hotels, and Disneytown. Magical Moments with Cast Members From morning to night, cast members will be creating memorable moments, from whimsical floor art to delightful shopping and dining encounters, as well as special birthday and anniversary surprises. Throughout the day, a lively Magic Squad dressed in shimmering outfits logo will appear across the resort with surprise interactions.

Create a personalized star, draw daily magical cards, interact with new digital entertainment, unlock special in-park experiences, and share memories with themed templates and effects. 10th Birthday Collectible Tickets Starting March 20, new collectible park tickets will feature 30 Disney characters.
