We closed out a Sun night a couple weeks back with 4x consecutive rides in the back car of AT. It was the first time we’d ever done an instant re-ride on that one, and it was great fun. This past Thu was our first 2x consecutive re-ride of The Boss. I got to sit in the front seat, which I’ve probably done in years past, but it’s been a long while - I absolutely loved it. Moved to the near-back for my second ride, and that was more the bouncing/trouncing feel I’m used to on Boss. I hadn’t noticed until that time riding that the Boss trains are definitely showing a good deal of aesthetic wear and tear.

We haven’t been out to the park yet this year when the inner side of the Log Flume (“Left Twix”) was running. My 8 year old won’t ride the other side because he hates getting sprayed by those coin-op bystander ambush sprinklers by the ride exit. Caught him off guard one time and soaked the bejesus out of him. We checked out the water park today. Super light crowds in there. Lazy river was shut down from about 2 pm on, and the tube slides closed all day. Kids spent most of the day in the wave pool, and I had a couple great deck chairs in the shade. Loving the dining pass. We bought 3 basic dining passes during the online sale a few weeks ago - $35 each - but I ended up upgrading mine to a deluxe pass, so we got 3 lunches, 3 snacks and 1 dinner entree during our visit today. Great to get the food every visit without paying Six Flags menu prices.

River King Mine Train, Six Flags St. Louis. Empty train, back seat, 3x just before park closing.

I’ve been out to the park 8 or 9 times this season with my kids, usually toward the end of the day. We love being able to stay on for multiple rides when volume is low - we did 7x consecutive on Eagle a few Sundays ago, and my boy and I did 6x in the back car of Mine Train before park close tonight. Daughter and I rode Supergirl for the first time on Thursday night around 7:40. It was a walk-on. Lots of fun - like Highland Fling: Next Gen. I missed being able to lean my head back; Fling had a relaxing, therapeutic kind of quality. This one’s slightly more intense. Wondering about Thunder River. Surprised it’s not open yet.

Hi everyone! I’ve lurked on this thread here and there for years, but my family and I have season passes again after a 4-year hiatus and have been three times since Christmas. So I figured it’s a good time to get a user name and participate. I have a 10 y/o and 8 y/o. The older one was out all day yesterday for a friend’s birthday party, but knowing the rain was scheduled to clear up late afternoon, I took the younger one out to the park with me toward the end of the day. We got there at 5:45. Parking lady waved us in with no pass needed. Basically two rows of cars on the general lot and a few ransoms; otherwise the outside was a total ghost town. We rode Joker twice - they had the 8 or so of us who rode the first time stand off toward the exit side while the 4 new people chose their seats, then we were free to sit back down in any of the seats remaining. Watched Ninja run five consecutive trains completely empty while we were in the area. Batman run once or twice with half-full trains. Rode Mine Train twice consecutively. Sat in the very front the first time - the only other riders were in the very back row. They got off for the second ride, and we walked back to take their spot. It was my son’s first time on Screamin’ Eagle. We sat in the first row of the fourth car—his choice. One other pair with us waiting and probably 8 people who chose to stay on for another ride. He loved Eagle, and so did I. It had been several years since my last ride. It’s as great as ever, quite kind and gentle for its age and size. Walked right on Justice League then had just enough time to get on Shazam for its last ride of the night. Got some First Cone on the way out—last Sat on our exit, the line was snaking all the way out the front door, and I wasn’t gonna mess with it. Pleasant surprise to discover that with 25% gold pass discount, two regular waffle cones are only $13. That’s reasonably competitive with Baskin Robbins or anywhere else you’d go for similar volume double-scoop waffle cone. It was overcast and cold, barely 40 degrees out, but a great quick experience.
