aaronmb Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 When I went last year, back in September, didn't even realize that the sunday I went was BAF which obviously made it a bad day to go, but the next sunday wasnt so bad. As far as Scooby Doo, while it was fun, it was definetely outdated and to me, felt out of place. Only bad thing is the new ride will have a huge line and knowing Mr.Freeze, it'll be shut down, since it was the alternative last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWFan Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Important Season Pass and Ticket Information First, in case anyone is interested, there are $20 opening weekend tickets available online. You can see a preview of the deals in the screenshot below. Second, whether you have a pass or not, make sure to check out the pass holder bring a friend dates when planning a trip to the park. For instance, Easter Sunday will most likely be the busiest day of opening weekend due to the bring a friend for $9.99 coupon. You can view all dates here: https://www.sixflags.com/stlouis/plan-your-visit/season-pass-perks Third, season pass holders will need to re-register to view their coupons. After the last system had so many technical difficulties, the company recently switched to a new system. I know it might be a pain to register again, but the park sincerely apologizes and thanks you for your understanding as the overall season pass experience is improving. You can view a screenshot of the page below and find the website here: https://mypass.sixflags.com/default.aspx Fourth, a lot of work has gone into the finger scanning machines over the off-season. Both hardware and software has been replaced/upgraded. The main thing slowing down entry last year wasn't the employees running the machines, as it may have seemed, but it was actually how slow the machines themselves ran (i.e. ten seconds for a re-entry button to load instead of instantaneous with the handheld scanners used in years past.) With these new upgrades, the estimate is that entry times should be cut by at least 50%. I know this new system has caused some problems, but thank you for baring with the park and employees last season. This was a huge step that the park needed to take, and as I've said in the past, the park has been constantly working on improving the system to make things easier for our guests. If anyone has problems or questions before the park opens, please message me so that I can give you the direct email for the very nice woman in charge of Guest Relations. She will be more than happy to help you with any issues, so that I don't get "admonished" again for working to solve problems in our system while not on the clock. Finally, if enough people are interested, I think it would be fun to have small meet-up opening weekend for lunch and a coaster perhaps. I can talk to Dave Roemer to see if he can even make it, although he may be too busy that weekend. Either way, I am really looking forward to hopefully seeing many of you at the park this year, and who knows, maybe I might even be able to convince my good buddy Prozach, who I think should change his name to Lex-apro Luther (sorry, dumb cheesy joke), to make a trip to the park.

GCI Wooden Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hey everyone, I was wondering what the hours normally are in for the park in July. I looked at the website (checking last year's hours) and it said 3:00 P.M. - 2:00 A.M., which is the strangest hours that I've ever heard. Is this right?

prozach626 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think it's safe to say we'll be taking a lot less theme park trips this year, since we just ordered a new car. My wife advised me that I can't go "roller coaster crazy" this summer, since she gave me the go-ahead to get my dream car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Going from this: To this: Of course not even a year after we got the 13 WRX paid off we saw the 15 STi at the auto show... I've wanted one for ten years. I drove it at Dean Team and we put our deposit down for a new one immediately. They offered to sell me the one pictured at the auto show, but I didn't want one that had been molested by a thousand people, so I have to wait until the April ETA for one straight from the factory. We've got our trip to KD/BGW planned for my 30th birthday in June and Holiday World sometime in May or July. Aside from maybe one trip to KI with a buddy, I've been pretty much grounded from roller coasters, and rightly so. My wife lets me get away with murder...

Grant45 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201502/4399/ Top 10 most anticipated new attractions for 2015, look at number one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 ^ That's awesome! Hopefully this means a significant boost in attendance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 LMFAO!!! ooookay. It may be a good new addition, but #1? Right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 ^Agreed. I'd put Fury 325 higher than Justice League; certainly higher than the Knotts dark ride. Really? The tallest/fastest giga is less anticipated than a few dark rides that we really don't know all that much about at this point? May be a little biased.

Woodie Warrior Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 ^ That's awesome! Hopefully this means a significant boost in attendance! Wouldn't count on it. I don't think that many people will ever see that list. LMFAO!!! ooookay. It may be a good new addition, but #1? Right. It has the potential to be an AMAZING addition, but I agree. There are huge coasters that could be some of the best ever built next year. What's even funnier is that a parade beat out most of the competition.

aaronmb Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 LMFAO!!! ooookay. It may be a good new addition, but #1? Right. Well, the other 8 are roller coasters, with the other two being start of the art, brand new dark rides, sounds right to me. That Fast and Furious one sounds awesome.

HWFan Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks HWFan for the information. Always appreciated. Mike I second that, thanks HWFan! I'm glad you appreciate the posts as I'm always happy to discuss the sexy subject of season passes and admissions! And about the list of 2015 attractions, the subject of theme park attractions is very subjective. That website it run by a guy who works/loves Disney and prefers dark rides over coasters. If the list was compiled by Robb or voted on by coaster enthusiasts in general, I think it'd be a lot different. I really don't put much stock in those lists, but I just look at them like a list of some great attractions coming to parks in a random order. You know how I feel about SFSL & JLBM, but I'd take Fury over JL any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 ^True. I think it will be a good new addition but #1 seemed to be a little more subjective than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Does anyone think it's an indication of park popularity that a small park like HW has almost double the thread posts we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 ^It's also cause HW just installed a new coast..............oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
