Glad to hear Pier Park is doing well. I will be buying a brick for sure.

Cool, thanks for the info. I like all those ideas, not sure why length is an issue for The Boss regarding the Iron Horse treatment. If you know what that means, maybe you can clarify that? ...sorta disappointed that there was no mention of a Kiddie Coaster. SFSTL could really use a cool coaster for the kiddo's ...and not one of those carnival coasters like we used to have, but something permanent like Snoopy Flying Ariel Ace at Kings Island.

Just got back from King's Island... Man, a SFSTL version of Diamondback would be sooo nice. What a great coaster. The Beast was awesome too, Fast and Powerful. I'd love to see a updated vers of Bumper's replace the old Hannbarrel site, seems like a great location.

completely insane...

I hope they rebuild the Bumper Cars. An Amusement Park without Bumper Cars is like a Fast Food joint that doesn't serve French Fries.

...now when is that Hyper getting built!??? kidding. Great Report/Update. The Park is looking good for sure.

Best we can hope for is the Iron Horse treatment on the Boss or to replace the Ninja with another transplanted coaster. I can't see this park ever get into the double digit coaster count.

So what happen with the old bumper car fleet? trashed, scrapped or to rust in the boneyard?

Looks like Tidal Wave got a fresh coat of paint too.

Didn't know Gerstauler made those trains... learn suptin' every day I guess

The Boss getting the RMC treatment, best of all we can finally can get rid of those G-Trains.

Besides redesigning the Bunny Hill area before the dbl helix, RMC should leave the layout as is. Just adding topper track to the first four drops would be an amazing improvement. If a Barrel Roll was added before the dbl helix then it would be an insane coaster experience.

It is a crummy name to begin with. The Boss has nothing to do with the Themed area it is in - Old England or whatever it is.

If I were to guess what St Louis will get next coaster-wise. - The Kiddie coaster makes sense, I can see that happen soon - RMC topper track on the Boss and/or/both - Scrap the Ninja and transplant Medusa from SFGAdventure Any custom hyper, giga, winged, floorless, whatever just isn't gonna happen here.

Regarding all those other predictions... hmmm not getting my hopes up. Sorry.

Regarding space for a kiddie coaster... If they tear down the 1st Screamin' Eagle's Queue Bldg which is no longer is use, they could use that space and run it along the back of the seating area of the outdoor theater, and then back towards the restrooms across from that kiddie drop tower. It would have to be a custom job of course.

That's good, the park needs a kiddie coaster.

Solution: don't set your expectations so high for our park, it will never be the park you hope it could be. And then go to King's Island.

You ideas are fine, it is just folks have been wanting/asking for the same things for the last 10 years - a Signature Steel coaster (Hyper) and some new flats. Besides Skyscreamer & American Thunder, all we seem to be getting is hand-me-downs from Texas (Houston, now Dallas). While American Thunder is a great coaster, it really wasn't what the park needed.

I think a nice kid's coaster could fit where the old Eagle queue entrance is. Tear down the queue bldg which is no longer used and run it up along the grass behind seating area of the Theater and down toward the restrooms - that general area. It would go along with the other Kid's rides in that area as well.

So my question is ... we will get a new Bumper Car attraction? Bumper Cars is an amusement park staple, ashame to see them gone for good.
