^^ With the oversize,I'm not sure what to tell you. The only 3 rides with Over the Shoulder restraints are Batman - The Ride, Ninja and the Superman drop tower. You should not have problems on Evel Knievel. I'm only 5'7-5'8, but weight around 245. Even with a size 44 waist, I had not a single problem with any ride there. My gut was never in the way of anything. The best discount I've seen is the everyone pays kids prices at $31 online. If you do more then 2 days, get a season pass. Or if you plan to do Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom even once alone with 2 days at Six Flags St. Louis, get the season pass. Don't get the parking pass if you will only do 2 days at a Six Flags park (not including Kentucky Kingdom as you have to pay for parking there no matter what.) Also, if you plan on buying sovineers, the pass gets you a discount. You also get a coupon book for the park. With the Flash Pass, you should not need it. The only rides you can use it on are 5 of the coasters and 3 water rides. The Log Flume runes 2 sides, I'm not even sure if Tidal Wave is even open, Ninja has a small wait at most and River King hardly has a wait over 10 minutes. With the weekdays, there are 2 problems. The first is how many schools go there and the 2nd is the hours are shorter. If you play to do something at night any ways, week days are the way to go. The kids are not too bad, but some can go nuts. Just remember there will not be too many people there over 18 that are not teachers.

I can just imagine management telling the sculpture to make the glory hole one "Yes, we want one with a couple having sex via glory hole. We want to pants to be down just slightly on the guy and him to looks like he is about ready to hit the wall. With the female, we want to act as if nothing special is happening. Add we need it by next month."

Hello and let me be the first to welcome you to Theme Park Review. I can give you some info on Six Flags St. Louis. The park is about 30 minutes or so away from the Arch, Busch Stadium (and the national bowling hall of fame), and the Edwards Jones dome. If you want to hit a baseball game, there is a deal where you get a ticket to the park and a Cardinals games ticket for around 50. With deals, it depends on how many days you go. If you do more then 2, getting the season pass would be a good idea. The best deal i know of is everyone pays kids prices and that is $31 a day. The season pass is $69.99 at the park. Also if you buy your tickets online, there will be a charge to print them. I went earlier this year on the first warm weekend of the year and there were about 15k people there. Even with that and taking a very long lunch and leaving an hour early, I was able to get a lot done. I did all the coasters, the rapids ride, the train twice around the park and some flats. Here is the keys to keep in mind -Get to the park about 30 minute before opening. This will let you get your tickets, get a map and get in the park. They do check bags before you can get to the gate - Hit Mr. Freeze and Tony Hawk first. Lines tend to get long on both. If you hit Mr. Freeze first, you will have no wait. Tony Hawk next and it should have no wait as well - With both Screamin' Eagle and River King Mine Train, the way you get to your spot in line is blocked as you head to the trains. The people bottle neck when more then 4 people wait for the first row (or last on River King) so just be poliet and walk behind them and you will be fine. Screamin' Eagle was sending trains with empty rows because of this. - Save time to re-ride Evel Knievel at night! The ride is great during the day and amazing at night. On hotels, there are not many options. Across the street is a Holiday Inn (might be an Express one.) The prices there tend to be around 110 and up per night. Whatever you do, stay away from the Days Inn down the road. The manager there was a jerk and the breakfast was beyond awful. If there is any other info you need, ask and I can see if I can find the info. Thanks

Photo TR: My Big Fat Gay Wedding at SFNE!
monsterfan99 replied to bubala's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Congrats and here is to many years of happiness. -
On another note, I can feel Raging Bull shaking in some spots. Mainly the turn near the station that takes you over the Giant Drop area and the turn into the final run.

^ Makes seance. This simple fact that just POV of Disney dark rides would make it about 6-7 a disc amazes me.

Good to hear that Dark Rides of the World is still on the table. I was hoping that was not just a "sounds good now but will never happen" deal.

Wearing glasses on a coaster
monsterfan99 replied to jbuck's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^Not just the people on the ride, but for the people on the ground. I got back into coasters in August and in the time I've been hit with over 5 bucks in change (mostly quarters) and had cameras, cellphones, hats, glasses, a fanny pack and other stuffed items fly at me. There is no reason to have this stuff out on rides. With the glasses, my fiancee always put her away for fear of losing them. She has since moved onto contacts, which have been no problem except for Son of Beast. -
Just got back from the park. I got there at noon and there were a grand total of 3 people on the ride due to the weather. Let me say this upfront: you WILL get soaked. There is simply no way around it. I did not get hit by a single item on the ride itself, but got drenched from the people with the crank cannons. Capacity on this ride will be outstanding as the boats move slow enough to take in the ride, but fast enough to be a people eater. The station is full of pirate quotes, which is a nice touch. They even used quotes from Pirates of the Caribbean, which is always nice to have a little of Disney near home. On the exit of the ride, there is a cannon or two as well to nail people, however, you can get soaked from the bucket that drops water. The people dryer was going at 5 bucks a cycle with a limit of 4 people. Wish I could have taken pictures, but it was starting to sprinkle and did not want to get the camera wet. In the end, the ride is a great touch for the park. It looks great and draws people to it. My only concern is days like today where the ride was empty due to weather. However, it seems like the Haystack dryer will take care of that problem.

I tried the MT one and it just left a weird after taste. Oddly enough, there are some places around here that have only stocked Throwback over regular MT. Dew.

I am glad I was not the only one thinking that theme parks in the raw would be a great idea while watching In the Raw Volume 3. Would do a lot for us that are far away from the west coast.

I went to the park today for about an hour and they were testing the entire time. The ride looks outstanding. The theme is perfect for not only kids who like whimsical stuff but the rest of the family for the interactive parts. The crew was even had a worker in the water adding little pirate flags. They are really going on all out on the ride.

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

Superman: Ultimate Flight about an hour ago at Six Flags Great America. Was the first time I've ever seen the station completely empty. -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
monsterfan99 replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Last row on Flight Deck at Kings Island Sunday. Might even pop over to SF Great America in an hour or so. -
Having dealt with PR way too much, i can tell you the press release is beyond worthless to the general public. They want stories that are easy to read in familiar styles. They don't want a story before it is sent out to be edited by a news agency. This park's PR is basically being ran on the "new school" style of PR . That is fine if you are a place marketing to the 15-30 age range. Problem is they are trying to make this a family park. This can and will blow up in their face.
