SFSTLMO

Only 4 more days until we find out what we are getting...

This coaster looks amazing! I hope someday I will get to ride it.

Although to be fair, some of the clones are pretty amazing. True, but what separates a good park from a bad park is the uniqueness of their attractions i.e. Millennium Force - Cedar Point, Leviathan and Behemoth - Canada's Wonderland, etc.

Obvious retheme to the ride. Probably themed to the Justice League.

hehe, "The Six Flags Clone o meter is off the charts!"

Just heard that Six Flags over Texas will be getting a Justice League dark ride. Does that make it more or less likely that we will be getting that too?

^^ New for 2015, The Joker Reverse Blast!

I have a question. Is St. Louis' height limit 230 feet, because the drop tower, the Skyscreamer, and Mr. Freeze are all 230 feet or under?

Oh, whoops. Didn't read that carefully.

Aren't they basically a clone?

This may sound stupid but what is the YOLOcoaster? I keep seeing it pop throughout this thread and can't help but wonder what that is.

American Thunder is amazing.. I don't think it gets enough love. Yeah, I think American Thunder is THE best GCI and in the top 15 wooden coasters.

Let's face it: Sfstl will never EVER get a hypercoaster. I'm just being realistic.

When is the coaster marathon?

My friend and I were one of the "chosen few" that got picked for the marathon last year, although that one lasted 9 hours (45 mins per coaster, with 15 mins in between to rest/pee/get to the next coaster). I'll see how quickly I can sum up that experience. The teams were all given a starting coaster, and would basically rotate around the park clockwise. Our group- Team Rust, or Team "Patina" as we decided to call ourselves- started out on the mine train. Great fun, as it gave us time to get to know each other, have chats on the lift hills, do each other's nails, etc. We noticed about 20 mins in that someone had already puked on the Ninja and they had pulled everyone off to clean up. They then decided in fairness to pull all the teams off all the coasters while they cleaned it up, so that ultimately everyone would be riding for the same amount of time. This quickly became the theme of the evening. I mean... the puking just became rampant. So many people, so unprepared for this type of event. In the 45 mins we were at Batman, I think we rode it maybe 4 times, as we spent the majority of the time on the platform waiting as they cleaned up puke as far as the eye could see. It was ridiculous. At the end of the event, our team tied with another for having the most members standing (13 out of 16, I believe). They gave all of us passes for this year. They then did the grand prize drawing for the trip to DC, and my friend won- and ended up taking me with her! *high five* It was the hardest I'd ever worked to compete in anything. You don't realize just how bad it's really gonna be. Our team was in it to win it, and we didn't have anyone bow out until we hit the Boss (we did have a few people puking between rides on Mr. Freeze and every ride thereafter, but they all jumped right back on). It was surreal, and I'm not 100% sure I'd do it again, but it was a story to tell the grandkids for sure. Wow that sounds pretty intense. And I'm not sure why Six Flags thinks it is a good marketing stunt to have people ride their coasters till they barf their brains out.

SFSTL: 2015: Dark Ride retime, close Boss 2016: Rmc boss 2017: upgrade kiddie area, close Ninja 2018: Flyer/Wing Coaster in place of Ninja 2019: nothing, just a show or cleaning up the park 2020: very wishful thinking; a B&M Hyper Coaster

^^ omg totally the dragon theme would be amazing. Unfortunately Disney would not put a big high thrill coaster there. If they were to put a high thrill coaster somewhere, it would be at DHS

^^ Floating Mountains?

Any rumors on what will be at Avatar Land?

I am interested of what you thought of SDMT and New Fantasyland.

I'm guessing the reason that people are liking the Ninja better is that they are getting numb after years of head-pounding, spleen-removing torture.

haha, I take that as a big yes. New for 2016, I see Tsunami Soaker: Reverse Blast!

^^ I don't think it was done by Sally, but I am not sure who did the theming. Also, I am glad the retiming is going on because did anyone else notice all the "animitronics" were broken/not used/looking dirty.

^^ Yeah I gotta say you really get soaked o the Tsunami Soaker.
