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. -

Big Bend 1980/Closed around 1989 This coaster was never installed/operated in the Park. I believe it just sat in the Boneyard. -

If Medusa is anything, or close to, like Kraken then I would be stoked to have it at STL. Kraken is an awesome floorless at Seaworld Orlando -

Not I, I would have thought they are saving their pennines for something good for 2014/2015. This Boomerang makes no sense to me. Although it adds more 'stuff' to our Skyline. and at least it is not Black or White. -

I like Grumpy Cat.. As folks head down I-44, pass Eureka, and drive towards Silver Dollar City - Grumpy Cat will stare your down. Should be SFSTL's mascot for 2013. -

Looks like those large footers will be in the middle of the pathway. Folks can choose to either go under the coaster or around it. All the Rides on the top of the hill appear taller and bigger than they really are. SFSTL has taken advantage of that during the past few years. The Screamin' Eagle looks like a Monster from the Parking Lot, being on the highest point of the park probably adds other 50+ feet to the lift hill from the Parking Lot/ticket booths. ...Same is true for S:TOP & SS -

You are right, the Ninja's footprint is small but there is plenty of Spillover to the East of that site, over the Train Tracks and south of the Graveyard. Plenty of room for Medusa or something similar.
