I feel SFSTL isn't neglected, we always seem to get something every year and Justice League is a great addition. It just seems to me that Corp does not want to expand the park outside of it's current boundaries. A massive Steel coaster would definitely need to go outside of the Park's current boundary lines. I am not sure there is any truth to my hunch but if you think about it The Boss (2000) was the last addition which expanded the footprint of the park.

Well, I hope I am wrong

Well August is almost here and the announcements will be coming soon. My guess is a 4D Zack Spin whatcha-ma-callit for 2017, maybe Tidal Wave removal as well.

Six Flags St Louis has a copy of this coaster in the early 80's called Jet Scream. I think it ended up at Astroworld.

Seems like crap from the other food locations thrown into one place. Nah, cause then it would have been named 'Foul Crap'

Let me just take this opportunity to point out that RMC overhauled this ride in 2014. The RMC rebuild on the Boss in 2014 was not as extensive as the Ghost Rider overhaul. I am talking about the Lift Hill/Drop extension plus Millenum Flyer Trains, etc. as discussed on Screamscape.

I just saw a new POV of Ghost Rider which was Rehab'ed by GCI. Not bad at all! Here's hoping the rumor for a GCI rebuild/overhaul on the Boss comes true.

Thanks for sharing! Looks very nice there!!! Six Flags should give this sorta attention to all rides whether they are new or not... It looks awesome.

unfortunately that will never happen... GCI maybe, but not RMC

What makes you think something is closing? ...must of missed that rumor. My guess is Tidal Wave would get the axe.

Just read the news about KI getting a coaster next year. That and with SDC's new coaster, sounds like STL will be the place to be for 2017 - right in the middle for easy road trips to these parks.

Not that I care but... Wow, Closed 'til FF seems rather extensive

Are all the SF parks experiencing this sorta thing?? Only works when it is sunny???? Good Lord! Ridiculous. I love all the Holiday World billboards around town by the way. I hope many St Louisians will visit that park this season.

All this VR stuff is a gimmick. They are trying to inject new life on old, stale attractions. It won't last because technical issues will ensue and the 'experience' probably isn't that cool anyway. On another note... I live down by South County Mall and the local carnival is back. I don't see their Fireball attraction up this year, wonder if Six Flags asked them not to put it up? They have had the Fireball attraction every year (except this one) in recent memory. Hmmm

That aint a bad idea at all!

^^ yup ^^

You must be talking about that 300 foot Mule-Go-Round

^^ ya don't ^^

... If you build It, they will Come ....

^^ Interesting Stuff ^^ My guess is Tidal Wave will be gone next year and a Zack Spin 4D 'whatchamacallit' in its place.

I'd guess attendance is probably at million every year, maybe a bit lower. This is where the argument comes in... 1. when attendance rises then SF will begin to invest big money into the Park or 2. if SF invests big money then attendance will rise. I happen to agree with #2. If you built it they will come.

I would argue longer than that, I'd say 20 years. The Boss was a cheap alternate to a Hyper. Then we lost our Hyper to SFOG. All the frigging hand-me-downs from Texas (Astroworld, Dallas). I guess the two highlights are American Thunder and Justice League (when it is working). My family used to have passes but we haven't renewed in years. Instead we road trip every summer for a weekend at another park in the Midwest. It was decided a weekend trip is better than a season at SFSTL.

Not much else to discuss after this statement.

I'd be satisfied with that ... the smoothness of AT with the Boss' layout, not a bad combination. Oh, btw... the Boomerang thing - hope the injured folks make a full recovery. What a POS, been a headache since day one.
