Guest Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Ill 3rd that...though its still not an amazing coaster in any seat its very good in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 ^Front row on EK is the spot. I gotta agree here. The front seat is where it's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrancew_hod Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 ^I don't usually like sitting toward the front, unless I'm on a coaster that I'm not sure how it will ride. Never been a fan of sitting up front unless it's a launched coaster. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I can see where KI might be close to considered east coast, close, but it is not. Anyway. Also for 2009, Mr. Freeze is being painted. Also, the Scrambler is being refurbished....I mean down to the gears. The whole thing is being taken apart and it will basically be a new ride.

Six Flags Addict Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Wahoo Racer is finally starting to come together! The employee web site put some pics up of the construction and Mr. Freeze's awesome new paint job. Link to pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netdvn Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 WOW! The new slide looks awesome! I'm actually surprised that SFStL is getting all these expansions in such a short time period. Especially since traditionally SFStL doesn't recieve new rides very often and it's not one of the major flagship parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamofFive Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Does anyone know where I can download the music/lyrics to this parade? My friend is desperately trying to find it, and Google is no help. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrutchfield Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I just made a new offride video of Evel Knievel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayzle Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Nice video. One thing that strikes me as odd is that this may be the only park I have not heard a rumor about for the 50th anniversary addition. Are there any markers, rumors sign of construction etc floating around the area/web? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Six Flags St Louis Announces SkyScreamer for 2011 Experience the newest sensation in tower rides, SkyScreamer comes to Six Flags St. Louis in 2011. This new swing ride will take you up, up and away high over the park, with your feet dangling and hair blowing. Towering at 236 feet above the ground, SkyScreamer will be the tallest ride in the park, located near the Screamin' Eagle. Grab a friend and sit two across in an open air swing as you climb to the top of SkyScreamer tower while spinning round and round. At full swing, you'll soar in a 98-foot circle at speeds over 43 mph. By day, you'll have a bird's eye view for miles away. By night, SkyScreamer will light up the night as its lighted arms whirl high above the park. SkyScreamer will open in Spring 2011. http://www.sixflags.com/stLouis/rides/skyscreamer.aspx Edited September 16, 2010 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks for the news. Great addition for the locals as many will have not ever ridden a Star Flyer previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Wow! Five years after these rides become popular in Europe looks like they're really taking the US over next year! Do we know details on this one? Is it a REAL Star Flyer or more like a Cedar Fair version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrs2420 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Excuse my stupidity but what is the difference between a real Star Flyer and Cedar Fair's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastered Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Wow! Five years after these rides become popular in Europe looks like they're really taking the US over next year! Do we know details on this one? Is it a REAL Star Flyer or more like a Cedar Fair version? The stats are on the SF website. They say it will be a Funtime ride and not a Mondial ride like those Cedar Fair Windseekers Excuse my stupidity but what is the difference between a real Star Flyer and Cedar Fair's? A real Starflyer has the seats connected to metal chains and the Mondial Windseekers from Cedar Fair have the seats connected to metal bars/arms. And the Cedar Fair rides can operate with higher windspeeds. Edited September 16, 2010 by coastered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 ^ Cedar Fair is getting several rides like star flyers, but made by Mondial. Instead of chains supporting the seats, there are "arms". There are pictures in the threads of the 4 Cedar Fair parks getting (Cedar Point being one.) slow typing here. ^ What they said.

SharkTums Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 ^^The Cedar Fair version are more like a Mondial Flat Ride with actual arms/metal bars instead of a chain or cable holding you in. I believe that the Fun Time version will always be scarier than the Mondial Version (which kind of seems more like a Chance Aviator). EDIT: LOL More slow typing!!!

Emiroo Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 To eliminate any confusion: Cedar Fair - "Mondial Style" Six Flags - "Star Flyer Style" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cool Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 This is awesome, I was not expecting this at all. Didn't think we would be getting something that will be towering over the park like a Star Flyer. Wonder how many other Six Flags park will be getting a Star Flayer or WIndseeker in the future.

Airtime&Gravity Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Awesome news, it's great that a park I visit almost yearly(every year since 05 except 09) is getting a Star Flyer, and it's even better that it is a real one. It should make a great addition to SFSTL, and I can't wait to ride it when I hopefully visit next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCo Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Just rode a "standard" StarFlyer at the LA County Fair, only 115 feet tall... it's alternately relaxing and terrifying. Twice as high? I don't think I can do it... Hat tip to those who will; you are better men and women than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
