I always thought a Hyper would look great atop of that hill, hmmm but that's crazy talk, a Boomerang and Super Loop is the way to go. Glad I'm not in charge.

It would be cool to see it reborn and have a single circuit two lift design like Twisted Colossus.

So what's the latest news with Gwazi? Is it still standing there without any future plans?

everything appears taller sitting on top of that hill, even the eagle looks much taller than 110 feet.

I read somewhere, Screamscape I guess, that SF registered the name Titan again. Maybe that is a glimpse into our future?? We've been road this road many times, maybe I should just stop now. Glad to hear the LEDs on Fireball look good, now if they could only do that with the Eagle (at a minimum the Lift and First Drop)

I bet there will be advertisements during the trip up the lift hill

They choose the Ninja because it has the lowest coaster ridership in the park, so they are trying to get people back in the line. As far as this VR idea, if executed well it could be good but I see it as troublesome and a maintenance nightmare. Probably won't work most of the time.

Sorry, Ninja sucks... no way around it. It has been here way too long and it has got to go.

Looks so bland, needs some theming or a least a few Trees out there

Well that's one thing it has going for it.

Rik Idol good god, how cheeseball

HITP = Hyper In The Park

I was fortunate enough (I guess) to ride it back in '84. From what I can remember it was slow, boring and a general lame experience. I rode it after the incident if that makes any difference.

.. a Clue about 2017 ???

Maybe referencing Tidal Wave will soon be gone and replaced by a 'ASART' - whatever that is

I got the job, but the timeframe is still up in the air. Not to get too much into my personal life, but I have a couple procedures (one inpatient surgery while the other outpatient) coming up in March & April to hopefully kills a few of the brain tumors and cryogenically freeze the kidney tumor (I'll have kidney cancer the rest of my life, due to my genetic disorder). Whether I live another five years or fifty years, I want to spend it doing what I love. I have a lot of loyalty to Six Flags, especially to certain individuals at the company. It's honestly pretty cool that Jim Reid-Anderson, the President & CEO of Six Flags (who is in the announcement videos), and I have become pen-pals over email. It even takes him less time to respond than it takes me....and the man oversees a company with 30,000 employees. I'll be talking to the management of HR in the coming days, as I want to work out the best times for them and to see if I can get their "blessing" so to speak. It should be a great summer of Always Smiling And having fun in the shadow(s) of Rollercoasters, a sound that is as refreshing as listening to the waves as the Tide comes in and out. Best of luck on those procedures Josh, and as always we all appreciate your updates. You are definitely the lifeblood of the SFSTL board. We all wish you the best I am sure.

Reinstall the Chaser Lights and put the Screamin' Eagle Sign back on the Third Hill were it belongs. and I do miss the Double Up

American Thunder is a blast to ride, lots of fun

It has got to, IT is Six Flags St Louis / Mid-America. Everything else is disposable or replaceable. Our park wouldn't be the same without it. To RMC it would be a disaster, they can RMC The Boss to Death - a complete redesign if needed. Do Not Touch the Eagle

Screamin Eagle for me. I rode it opening year in '76, my first large coaster. I remember how intimidating it was, it was a monster of a coaster back then. I have been a coaster fan ever since.

You know the Rams left St. Louis because we don't have a Hyper.

Ugh! stop... if they haven't gotten a new, even used, steel coaster (hyper, floorless, etc) by 2021 then SFSTL should just close shop.
