Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread

The Boss getting the RMC treatment, best of all we can finally can get rid of those G-Trains.

[Sportsdude360]

Iron Boss would also have G-trains, but they would be the latest design like the ones on iRAT and NTAG. Also, The Boss would have a cool new nickname like "iBOSS" or something.

[SteveStL]

Didn't know Gerstauler made those trains... learn suptin' every day I guess

[Woodie Warrior]

Well, if SFSTL does get Iron Boss, we should know earlier than we normally would if so. Because they'll have to announce that the Boss will close and give the date.

Some pics from about a week and half ago.

[Vonni]

^ Nice pics! I still love that color scheme!

[deathbydinn]

Huh, never seen a ride with a sign at the exit and entrance before. I could see that confusing a lot of guests. Cool sign though and it's nice to see how bright it is since that area was kinda dull before.

I'm still not too fond of the park getting a boomerang, but I actually think it looks great! It seems to fit the park well.

[Vonni]

^ agreed

[SteveStL]

Looks like Tidal Wave got a fresh coat of paint too.

[Zcev5454]

Boomerang has began running ride cycles, but it has been confirmed that it will not open on time( June 1st).

Really didn't look like it would open on time as it only had 1 car about a week-2 weeks ago.

[jray21]

It actually looks pretty nice!

[pixelated85]

Nice pics!

 

I showed them to my color-blind boyfriend, and he says "Why would they paint the whole coaster brown?"

Poor fella...

[Vonni]

I'm so excited about going to the park next Tuesday!

Boomerang will now open on June 8, with season passholder ert sometime on the 7th.

[SteveStL]

So what happen with the old bumper car fleet? trashed, scrapped or to rust in the boneyard?

[SFZIP]

The old bumper cars are in Six Flags alternate dump (the employee parking lot), along with the enterprise cars from Fiesta Texas, Ninja's third train and the wrapped Boomerang train from SFOT.

[tazdeviljohn00]

Went to the park yesterday and i got some pictures of them running a cycle of boomerang.

I still wonder why Six Flags St. Louis decided to use Flashback's train instead of purchasing a new one like Carowinds did with Carolina Cobra...

Probably since Six Flags did not want to pay more for the 23 year old coaster. I'm just saying because wasn't Carolina Cobra one of the newer ones when it was moved?

[A.J.]

I see your point, they probably didn't want to spend a ton of money.

 

But, I don't think that old age has anything to do with it. Gardaland's Magic Mountain and Efteling's Python are older Vekoma coasters than Flashback and yet their new trains were warranted.

I think Geauga Lake might have bought new train for their Boomerang coaster (Mind Eraser/Head Spinner) before they closed and the train were moved to Carowinds with the coaster.

[epicz1212]

did they even have to spend money on the boomerang?

Nope.
