I am old enough to remember that Double Up on the last turn before the station. It was awesome and is sorely missed. You could hear the train wheels momentarily leave the track and slam back down. Steve

My guess is a ZacSpin or Sky Rocket (Tigris) or Raptor type of coaster in Tidal Wave's old spot.

Freeze is also a Shuttle Coaster ... we really don't need 3 of those.

Cool Lighting! hopefully we will see more of that around the Park this year. Coaster still stinks tho

Maybe they need placement Logs for the ride? it is 50 years old

^^ Your idea on the location of CW Whip makes sense, seems a logical layout.

Just wondering if the Moon Cars will be relocated or gone for good. Hope SF has plans for the Moon Car track, as it will look pretty awful as it rots away around AT's Turnaround. Will buildings get removed when they Install Catwoman Whip at the old Tower's Site? I'd imagine some would. Speaking of rotting concrete, hope they have plans for the remaining portion of the Go Kart Track. SFStL has a lot of work ahead of them, all the half-baked areas (tidal wave, go kart and moon car roadways, and general emptiness)

Upsetting News about Josh, I always enjoyed reading his posts. Prayers to his family and friends Steve

I would think Excalibur would get the axe first over Superman ...if the decision was solely based on Maintenance.

I really doubt SF puts much thought or care into the placement of their rides these days. They just slap them in where ever there's room.

Sign looks great! thx for posting

Will Catwoman Whip be open? How's the Park's new entrance looking? Any Pictures?

I love to see Six Flags St Louis owned locally, then it will get all the undivided attention it needs. Remove all the current nonsense theming ... ie American Thunder in World's Fair ??? it is obvious they did this to keep all the crappy Evel Knievel Motorcycle props. The Comet, paying homage to the old St Louis Highland's Coaster in Forest Park would be an excellent name. I doubt any Six Flags brass would know about the Highlands. Anyhow... Hope that made sense, just my 2 cents

Not sure about the Eagle, but the Ninja will be there for sure.

..and yet my gut tells me it will still be around for another 10 years.

that's cool. Inside or Outside of the Park? ...or Both?

for you fulltimers at SFSTL, anything exciting happening around the Park lately??

Visited the Park yesterday... very nice weather for Dec 22nd. The park looked very good wearing it's Holiday attire. I checked out the former Tidal Wave Site and noticed once again Boomerang was not running. ...I have yet to see that coaster function (I don't visit that often). Anyhow it got me wondering, with TW now removed and with an additional removal of Boomerang that would offer a nice plot of land for a Raptor or a nice Grand Entrance and Station for a new Signature Steel Coaster to be built off to the East. Just chewing the fat here Folks.

Okay okay... it's the location of the Station of our next Coaster right??? haha

Great news in the Carousel ... Bye bye Tidal Wave. Hope 2021 brings something well overdue.

The recent wind storms knocked down the Ninja! ????

Got an update on Xcalibur, any word on Tidal Wave? staying or going???

^ American Thunder always delivers an excellent ride, best coaster at the Park

I understand why they did it. They had to modify it for rider enjoyment and to keep maintenance to a minimum. It is a 20 year old coaster now and needed to be tamed, as most wooden coasters that age. Now The Screamin Eagle is an exception to that rule - Strong, Fast and Powerful as always.
