Even if it is RMC Topper Track on the Boss then I'd be happy.

Pretty simple, they had to re-ruse and continue the Motorcycle theme from when it was Evel Kneviel. American Thunder doesn't line-up with anything in the area, nor does the Log Flume. Names and theming are after-thoughts.

I hope SF Local and Corp Mgmt read these posts... pretty much somes up SFSTL perfectly. I agree our park is not getting completely ignored and I know it has improved, but it has got such a long way to go. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70777&start=10

When it was a 'Theme Park'

No other injuries were reported according to news sites. Glad to hear that... I was thinking he was hit by the Legs of the Passengers? if Not, what caused the trauma ... what hit him?

Is there much to discuss at this point? Nothing really happening at the park which would indicate anything for next year.

Seems like a simple task ... why should it take so long? If SF Corp denies things like this no wonder SFSTL is in the shape its in.

Was considering Kentucky Kingdom but now Louisville will just be a rest stop to Pigeon Forge.

Agreed, just trying to be optomistic. Oh, and I am completely freaking jealous of Dollywood today. Imagine if that was being built here (I know we don't have the landscape for that layout, I get it), I am sure many of us would stop complaining and maybe begin to go back to our local park

Bumper Cars......100% Yeah definitely Bumper Cars all the way! I miss them! And I really miss that awesome old building they were housed in! Like I have said several times in the past, a amusement park without Bumper Cars is like a Burger Joint that doesn't sell French Fries. I understand the old Bumper Cars had to go but they need to be replaced. The same can be said for a Traditional Swings ride but I guess Sky Screamer fills that role

Yeah the Park was hopping back in the late 70's/early 80's, all thanks to the Screamin' Eagle. I remember the $5 after 5 deal which was huge. I have some Newspaper clippings from back in those days (Media Day for Jet Scream), I will have to scan and post them.

BGW is an awesome park ... incredible actually. The Rides, Theming, and surrounding Landscape would make anyone a theme park junkie.

I guess we feel your pain DILinator. I am not familar with MiA so I can't say much about it, but the last 15 years at SFSTL are not growing pains. The park is over 40 years old, it is Middle-Aged (or older???). It needs attention, not drastically, but a descent amount of attention. We all know it will never become a King's Island or Great America, but when a small park like Holiday World outdoes us or even Kentucky Kingdom in 2016 then someone at Corp must take notice. Again Justice Leaque is a big Win but they can't stop there.

Hope so.

Ah, I see that I'm not the only one who reads Screamscape... Also, Six Flags Over Mid-America is now Six Flags St. Louis. HWFAN - Not sure if you are in the "Know" or not, I do enjoy reading your posts and appreciate all the info you share on the board. I am very much on the side of Prozac. I have been going to this park for decades (Rode the S. Eagle in '76 (I was 9), Rode the Jet Scream in '80, Rail Blazer, Sky Chuter, Mo Mo the Monster, Tiltmore Hotel, even Super Sports ... etc etc. I am a huge Amusement Park Fan, been to a lot of them - Disney (both coasts), Knotts, Busch Gardens(both), Cedar Point, KI, and so on. Anyway, it Is frustrating see other parks evolve, upgrade, renew, refurbish, redo while our park gets stale with Hand-Me-Downs from other Parks or new rides which add no value (that teacup water ride, whatever it's called - getting new Bumper Cars would have been a better choice). I do think Justice League is a Huge win for our park, too bad is it plagued with issues this year. You have been boasting about the future of our Park and I hope you are right. Guess time will tell. I am a firm believer in 'If You Build It They Will Come'. SFSTL needs a Modern Steel coaster in the worst way and until that happens I will be going to other Parks around the region/country. Might plan on my first trip to KK next year. RMC Is Building So I Am Going.

Search Youtube "Forest Park Highlands Comet" and it will take you to an old Video of the coaster.

Yeah, that's a great website. My parents and relatives would talk about going to that park. The Golden Days of Amusement parks

It had chaser lights way back in the day. Looked awesome too. The lights did not cover the entire course though, just the lift and the first few hills which are over the tree line.

Ninja - for replacement The Boss - for RMC makeover

The Good News is you can go to Kentucky Kingdom and ride there RMC next year! Or go to Six Flags St. Louis and enjoy that RMC track that is on Boss right now. Hmmm... nope.

The Good News is you can go to Kentucky Kingdom and ride there RMC next year!

... double post ... sorry

I agree with 4 of the 6 mentioned above.

You know a Hyper wouldn't have all this downtime.
