I remember when it was a BBQ joint. My first visit to the park, the Screamin' Eagle wasn't even built yet.

Maybe it was the Carousel queue ? or having a Smoke at the Go Fresh Cafe ??

Mysterious

Guessing the fence is to block the view of the old Moon Car Track. If so, Classy

There is a Mule shortage Zack, haven't you heard? Everything goes to hell when Mules aren't readily available.

That's too bad.... I have seen a few concerts as well at our park. ...and I hate hearing about security issues too. Seems like folks just can't get along anymore.

Bummer... seems a waste of space and revenue stream

Old Glory no longer has concerts?

with the 1st Queue House from the Eagle removed, maybe they can expand the Kidde Land there. Bumper Cars, Junior Coaster etc

SFSTL does lack Family and Kids attractions for sure... you would think the park and corp knows this. Bumper Cars, Moon Cars, Ordinary Swing Ride (replace by Sky Screamer, definitely not a family attraction), Carousel (SBNO), Junior Coaster (from the old Kid's area). what else am I missing?

The Park is looking great! thanks for the Photos.

It's Boom-a-Rific

you go upside down 3 times, forwards and backwards... incredible aint it!?

Hope so as well, along with putting the Large Screamin' Eagle Sign back on the Third Hill (the hill behind the Station)

Good Answer

Oh, I know that. It was just an observation how parks determine the lifespan of Coasters, etc. If these lifespans were true, then most of SFSTL coasters would be expired.

I just read on Screamscape BG Tampa will be retiring Kumba this year. According to the Park and B&M Reps, the ride has reached it's life limit and it's time to retire it. That got me thinking about our be-loved Ninja. It was built in 86, moved from Canada to our Park in '87. If Kumba's life span is done then one would think the Ninja should be as well. I think I posted a few years ago, jokingly, it's Shelf Life was done. Makes you also wonder about all the Batman clones built in the Mid-90s as well. Just thoughts for the day

Sweet, very sweet... but insert 'When Pigs Fly' cliche here

or a 4D Free Spin. Then re-locate Scream from SFMM and install in the back (Tidal Wave) towards the East. Then SFSTL will be complete coaster wise for a long time, imo.

Ninja was built in '86 and should have been scrapped in '87.

It all started when STL Leadership denied Disney to build a Park here in the mid 60s

for the record, I am not on the 'Corp Hates Us' bus but I think we can all agree that SFStL seems like an afterthought at times.

No doubt... pretty cheap and dull. I remember (dating myself here) when Screamin' Eagle's Queue ran Air Conditioning (70's and early 80's). Not sure if those old A/C units are still there, but they were rusting away for years. I hope they removed them, what an eye-sore they would be. thanks for the picture!

Are they any Illustrations of what the new area? The First Queue Bldg for SE has been demolished so not sure what you mean.

How about removing the rest of the Go-Kart Track! that would be a good start on the To Do List.
