Month to month memberships look better for quarterly profits. Which is probably why they want to switch everyone to them.

The entitlement is absolutely crazy. I got yelled at in line because I let a disabled girl have the entire front row to herself, she thanked me, while the people behind me cursed at me. Like you can wait another 10 minutes calm the heck down.

Corporate doesn't care about our park. That's a simple fact. Corporate neglected the park with simple maintenance for years and it turned people away, and since then people would rather go to holiday world, or six flags great America. Which is unfortunate for those of us who really care about the park.

It's well known that Six Flags St. louis is one of the chains lowest favored chains in corporates eyes. We take what we can get.

My hype meter is just off the charts. I cannot wait to see it back.

Care to elaborate for those of us who don't watch TV?

That's it I'm getting me mallet!

Well don't keep us waiting! Tell us what happened!

They modified Eagle? That's illegal in my book. That coaster is a landmark, and shouldn't have been modified.

Maybe they have another ride planned there for 2023 that better uses the space? I honestly don't know.

This makes complete sense. This will drive traffic to the back of the park, where a lot of games are. Especially if they take the left path. It also could be they already have infrastructure there for power and stuff like that, saves cost? Could be both, or other reasons.

https://www.facebook.com/9556621915/posts/10157623951056916/ SFSTL posted a video of things they have been doing in the spring. I saw a whole lot of painting in the video. Hopefully the park won't look as run down! Pretty excited there.

Reservations are required to enter the park. They ask for it at parking. There aren't exceptions as far as I know. You should be able to make reservations up until 7am of that day.

Superman has been removed from the app. Curiously, I don't see anything about the moon cars on the app either.

People usually went to the back for Eagle though, so I think the queue length will be the same. The other rides are just conveniently located there, so they end up riding them since they were there anyway.

Superman is a maintenance nightmare for them. The joker is actually quite simple. The question on if it's operated is whether they have the man power to do it. I'm actually going to miss the Superman, I've gotten used to seeing it as I walk in the park

Did they say anything new? I'm more interested if they revealed some upcoming change or something.

This excites me. They have desperately needed a paint job for a couple years now. It looks extremely well done as well. Gotta say, love that look.

Which won't attract new sources of revenue for them. You can't expect regular average people to want to come to SFSTL for it's "charm", they aren't enthusiasts like we are. I enjoy the park for what it is, but in the eyes of an average person, SFSTL is meh at best.

There is four Zamperla Endeavour's in the chain. It's not exactly a "rare" ride. We may have a selection of classic rides, but thats it. Six flags doesn't add massive eye popping attractions to our park often. We've had American thunder, and pandemonium as our last big attractions. Boomerang doesn't count. Supergirl doesn't count either. Please tell me the last time we had an eye popping attraction? I'll wait.

We've known this for quite a long time. And it's unfortunate. As SFSTL slacks, holiday world, SFSTL's main competition here, keeps increasing in attendance and thus revenue. As they do a number of things vastly different, and overall better

I hope this isn't true. We all knew everything was pushed back a year, but to push it back that long is just wrong.

We tend to get them about every 7-10 years, then get a couple in a short time span after and go back to the 7-10 year cycle. So based on that, we are actually due one in the next 2-3 years. But like I said, corporate doesn't care about us, so..

I'm actually fine with the superhero theme. Superheros make a ton of money so it makes sense to use the theming. Honestly I just wish the park would add a new coaster instead of a flat rides every year. I think 2013 was the last coaster we got, and it was just the boomerang that was relocated from SFoT if I recall. 2008 was the actual last good coaster we got. Based on history, we are due a coaster in the next 2-3 years. But knowing how much corporate seems to hate our park, I highly doubt we will ever get another coaster.

Man those are some good shots of the screaming eagle. I wish it had a fresh paint job with a super bright white, something brighter than what it is now. It could use a retrack in places as well, but given how old it is, it could be much worse
