Looks awesome!

I've always wondered how they would do a skateboarding coaster...

And it actually doesn't look too rough

If there's one ride that has asphault underneith, I guess this one would be it. It actually fits the theme.

You beat me to that comment Gomez. I said that about the pictures of the one at Fiesta Texas because it had grass under it and I thought the same thing of all rides this one would really fit in, in a parking lot and they build it over grass.

looks pretty cool. I would love to get on one of those spinning vehicle coasters. Looks like lots of fun.

[tonyblackjack]

Florida has 2 spinning coaster at Animal Kingdom.

[ECZenith]

Really nice photos! I agree the coaster is great overall. I really enjoy Pandemonium at SFNE.

[borjoyzee]

I like the looks of this one. It's a mirror image of Spinning Dragons at Worlds of Fun. I do, however, like the looks of this one more.

[Tyrant]

The ride indeed is excellent. Great photos of the ride.

 

I just thought I would post a link to this video I made, I spent about 4 hours editing it. Starting immediatly once I got back into Rolla from the park.

 

(This is MConte05 from the sfstl.net boards btw)

Enjoy!

Nice Trip Report.

 

Is it the same layout as Mr. Six's Pandamonium at Six FLags New England?

 

BTW: THBS looks awsome!

It's not rough at all. There's only one jolt, going into ramp, and that's a track issue. I think the lead-in is just really small there. The spinning is all smooth and buttery. Tis very nice.

 

And coastercrazed, it's the same layout though mirrored.

Wow, this is a great ride for SFSTL, and it looks so cool in the area. This looks so much better than I expected, and now I really want to go back to SFSTL. I see that it is in the back of the park, but (random question) is the entrance by Xcalibur or is the entrance in Loony Tunes National Park?

[kennywood!007]

The St. Louis one looks 10000000X better than the Fiesta Texas one. That entrance is sweeeet! And the ramp looks awesome!

Ehh, it's a little bit of both. If you know where Friar Tucks Turkey Legs is, then you could say that the entrance is basically right there. The park is situated right next to Xcalibur though.

[BDG]

Very nice.

 

I don't understand why the record parks like Magic Mountain, Cedar Point and Great Adventure don't have rides like this. Not even a simple mouse.

The cheapest rides to crank up their records...

[kennywood!007]

^I was mainly aiming towards placement. It looks nicer at St. Louis. I have nothing against the FT version, I just like the St. Louis enviroment better. Theme-wise they look equal.

[jimths08]

I'd say SFFT's has the better theme, but I do like our entrance.

 

As I said before, the ride fits in perfectly. It feels as if it's always been there. The trees surrounding it complement it SOOO much.

[dino]

Cool TR. I have yet to ride a spinning coaster but big spin looks like a fun ride, not to mention a smooth one.

[St.LouisBOI]

Just wait for the pathway going under the ramp and ride to get finished and imagine the new views and photo ops you can get. It's pretty sweet!

[CP_RULES]

I really hate that they put a Tony Hawk themed coaster in the middle of the Britannia section, but it does look like it at least fits in with the environment. I cant wait to get over to SFStL and ride this thing May 5th. Great photos of a great park, thanks a lot.

[jimths08]

I think Six Flags was trying to put the coaster in that location because it's close to Bugs Bunny National Park. I consider it an extension of BBNP actually.

 

I'll be out there May 5th as well! Hope to see you there!

[CP_RULES]

I'll be out there May 5th as well! Hope to see you there!

 

I'm going with my school. Is that going to be any kind of special day at the park (i.e. a school day)? It seems every time I go to SFStL with school the park is so crowded you cant get any rides in.

 

Either way, it might be cool to see a fellow TPR member there. We might just have to ride something together and talk coaster nerdy talk.

Saturday will be Choir day, but I wouldn't expect it to get TOO busy. They'll have two trains running on everything so lines shouldn't get more than 10-15 minutes. Hit me up with some numbers or some way of contacting you and we'll set something up! I'd be glad to spend a couple hours with a fellow enthusiast.

[errtyme]

Good deal, first time in a long time I'll go to my "semi" home park and get a new credit, ha! right on.
