Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread

But Mr Freeze had the limited capacity sign out - and indeed seemed to be one running one train. Disappointing - two switchbacks were in use so that wait had to have been hell.

 

That's part of the themeing, man.

Your pictures are great. Thanks for sharing.

My big question is how SFStL will do Christmas (yes you can say Christmas - there's no War on Christmas ™) shows. It looks like they're setting up for The Palace light show, and that's where they've been doing all entertainment this year.

Maybe Old Glory will see its first butts in a year and a half?

What roller coasters are typically closed for Holiday in the Park?

In the past it has been The Boss and Screamin' Eagle.

 

The Boss is automatic because it's just unlikely to be warm enough to run it. I'd love to see Eagle open somehow though.

Wouldn't that be so cool. At some past FF they put lighted up tombstones or something like that along the back half of the run, wouldn't it be cool to have some Christmas trees lit up back there on a HITP nighttime run on Eagle. They should bring back the ghosts in the tunnel of MT for FF as well and/or Christmas trees in there.

Decorating is done in house

I'm curious if you know what department or title these workers fall under? I'm currently searching some career options and this kind of decorating would be right up my ally!

It is done by the Entertainment Department. Other departments help out of course at times like maintenance, but about 95% is done by the Entertainment department, same as how all park décor and lighting for Fight Fest/Hallowfest is done in house as well.

Was anyone at the park yesterday? I saw there were no reservations available, and I am going to the park next Saturday where its looking like all reservation times will be booked too. Just wondering how may rides will be possible.

I was only at the park this Sunday and last Sunday. This Sunday was rain-limited and not representative (everything was a walk-on). But last Sunday was all booked up just like Saturday - lines moved pretty well. Batman and Freeze were the longer ones. Freeze is running two trains, but since each cycle only loads up to 10 people right now they've still got the low capacity sign out front.

Justice League seems to be having a really rough time right now. I was on it during a shut down and actually got the lights-on escorted walk out of the attraction. And I hear it wasn't the only shutdown.

Look no further than a company which just laid off 10% of its workforce.

^^ glad to hear lines are moving well! I am worried abut Freeze because I have not been on it and have a late entry time... how long of a line are we talking?

Are they checking entry times? I got 3:45 and people I am planning to meet up with have 4:00 and 6:30. I emailed them to see if I can change the number of people in my group so that we can enter together. Either way, I'm out 2 hours 45 minutes right now, so can I slip in before my time? I am going Sunday too before I drive back home to grab a meal and a few rides. I got 1:45 for Sunday which isnt nearly as bad.

Unfortunately that was my plan after graduating this December.😢  I was hoping to do a college program/internship with them and then work my way in from there. It is looking like regional parks are doing better at the moment since they don't rely on international travel so that's what I'm trying for at the moment.

Six Flags is one of the best places to go after or during school for theater people. Six Flags St. Louis produces all shows and events in house. And when it comes to job security, remember, Six Flags St. Louis was just about the only place in the region this summer and now fall that actually has live entertainment. Are you majoring in the performance or technical side of entertainment?

I guess I didn't think about that, but you are right! Even the Fox and Muny didn't have shows this summer. I am majoring in Digital Media with an Art minor so I am definitely more interested in the technical side. I would love to take on projects both digital and physical! Helping decorate and fabricate decorative props is something I'm extremely interested in. The last 8 years I have done a huge Christmas lights display which is something I am extremely passionate about doing, so I feel that could translate well for the holidays at theme parks.

Careful. You're likely to offend someone on this site with the religious display.

 

oh, come on.   

I highly doubt that anyone who posts here would be upset about Christmas lights display. 
ESPECIALLY pics posted by someone as an example of the kind of work he'd like to do working at a Theme Park for their Holiday displays.

 

 

& @ranelson38 those displays look great.   How long do they take you to put up?

Thank you @bert425! I usually get the display up within a week since I only have a week off of school before Thanksgiving. Thankfully my family are wonderful hardworking elves so I don't have to install all 40,000 lights by myself.😅

The spider web area has been moved to the two tunnels since Blind Fury isn't there. Really like this.

This is what they've done with the area where spiders used to be.

Even with fewer scare zones set up there's a good amount of fog being thrown throughout the park. Just a bit less than usual back by Boss and the Illinois section.

 

 

Thank you, we do try
