What i know is most the stuff is already 2-3 if not 4-6 years planned out.
Are you sure about that? Seems to me, especially here in STL, most Park improvements/additions seem like an afterthought.

They better give Screamin' a whole bunch of Love for its 50th. Paint Job, Retrack, Lights ... the works.

Awesome, so we are getting SFT's 'hand me down' parts for our Freeze.

I just received my New Attraction Guest Survey for SFSTL.
A. Wait 5 more years for a new coaster.
B. Wait 10 more years for a new Coaster.
C. Wait 15 more years for a new Coaster.
D. Hope for a 2026 Tornado to destroy The Boss.

Like those are any more likely to happen.

The front half of the park is much flatter than the back - there are some choices that would not only be at least as flat as the area it's in at SFA but possibly even flatter (SFA is less flat than Darien Lake). And the Tidal Wave location has variations in elevation along any potential orientation but the overall elevation from station to turnaround wouldn't be drastically different heading forwards because there's a mound in the particular location by Batman, tall footers would cover the low points. I'm still not sure they want to spend relocation money either but scrapping coasters isn't free - there's a chance you could be unhappy for at least someone in the chain. It still costs several million dollars to scrap these things.
Interesting layout, puts a damper on any HH expansions though.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just scrap the piece of sh!t. Its old, not a good ride, dont need another hand me down, and with its age taking it apart and putting back together again takes its toll on the ride feel itself
Where's your SFSTL spirit!? We accept any and all rides donated from other parks. We are SF's charity case, and happy to be just that.

Seems likely SFSTL will receive something from SFA. Our Park has a rich history of collecting relics from Texas, now it is time for something from the East Coast.

Add More Fencing!!

Anyone know the real details regarding Spinsanity? Down all season, what's the deal?
And hopefully Tsunami Soaker gets removed soon. it's beginning to rival the old Barrell ride SBNO status.
This is the type of thing that makes SFSTL look bad. SBNO rides and empty lots surrounded by fences.

We'll probably get a flat from SFA, would not surprise me.

Any new coaster install should utilize the East Side of the Park, behind HH upwards towards the Boneyard. It's time to expand the park's footprint.

GCI only ever seems to do 200-400 feet of Titan Track at a time. That’s going to take several more years. Ipe in other locations could help though.
Any reason for the small increments?

I too was kind of expecting Ninja to be on the chopping block, I mean it's just about always a walk on (which I know strictly from observing the line while on Mine Train, lol, I'm never getting on that thing again) so clearly isn't much of a crowd pleaser. Maybe it will still get removed sooner rather than later but delayed a year until they are willing to fund a replacement?
At a minimum, let's hope for a few things for 2026
- Finish the Titan Track upgrade for the Boss
- Get a Flat from SFA installed in Excalibur's old spot
- Give the Screamin' Eagle a complete Face-Lift, Re-tracking... the 'Works' for its 50th Birthday. If the Screamin' Eagle's Bday is an after-thought or completely ignored, then I will believe Corp will never go that extra mile for our Park, installing a major attraction. ie. an iconic Coaster.

Stupid question - but will there be any 2026 announcements in August? or this Year??

It would make more sense from a financial perspective to simply build a new coaster.
I would argue that point. A new Hyper would be in the 20 million range... Moving a Hyper, much much cheaper.

I understand that this is a huge pipedream, but SFA's Superman could fit well in this footprint.
The Boxes represent the Helixes. And No it is not to scale, but there is plenty of wiggle room for it to fit.

... and that they would do a big celebration for the phase 2 opening. I have absolutely no idea what the heck that means but thought I would share
Ahh, okay ... that's when the Mules make their debut. Good deal!

SFTL could use
Flying Scooters would work in the Excalibur slot too. Or an Air Race. But CGA's Flying Scooters will soon be available.
Please don't make them un-snappable though.Every Park needs a Drop Tower. But anything is better than an empty concrete pad.

I don't think an RMC conversion of the Boss is likely now since they put the money into doing the titan track section, hopefully they add to that.
Agree 100%, don't cheap out SFSTL!!! All the main Valley's need Titan Track.
Gut feeling tells me we will receive a coaster from SFA, probably Firebird.
Also, I hope they install a Drop Tower where Excalibur stood.

All this 'future' talk reminds me that next year is Screamin Eagle's 50th Bday and I really hope it gets some attention during off-season. I rode it in April and it was one of the worst rides I have ever gotten from it. Disappointing for sure. It felt like it had square wheels, worse than the Boss on a bad day.

It would be nice to see that area get some attention soon. Not much happening on that side of the Park.

Spinsanity/Tsunami Soaker: This area was a bit dead. TS is of course not looking like it is coming back at all and Spinsanity was not fully assembled and looks to be down for an extended period.
Curious that these two attractions and the Mooseburger Restuarant are closed this year, coincidental or is something afoot in this area?

They would if they invested in the Park properly. Ask any long-term resident of the STL area about Six Flags, chances are you won't get any rave reviews. I don't think people dislike the Park but it is just so-so. The Park, generally, hasn't changed since the 90's. Same old rides, same old experience, same this, same that, same everything. The Additions we have gotten (since 2000s) have kept things alive, but they are not the kind which create long term excitement and make people want to revisit the 50 year old Park. This is all due to Upper Mgmt and their stingy ways for the last 20 years. I wish it was owned locally, it would be a much better Park for sure.
