Danrarbc Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 When did the garland get added to the carousel building? Don't remember that. And know the Christmas music is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWFan Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 ^I hadn't made it to that part of the park yet, but I know that they have been still adding things and making improvements during the week to make the event as good as possible.

That's amazing. After the lights in the AT area that took care of the only real hole in the scenery. They're going all out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Long Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 My nephew is going to be 14 in early summer - thinking of getting him a pass - What is the park policy for kids being dropped off at the park? He is not a sh*t head and I am not worried about him causing problems or acting a fool, but I don't want to get him a gift he can't enjoy. Mom and Dad work so he would go with friends or be dropped off by parents. I can't take him and stay with him all the time either and would need to drop him off. I just don't want him to get hassled on a technicality so if there is park official position it would be nice to know. I hate to just roll the dice and hope he can go and have fun with his friends or if he will require an adult accompanying him all the time. any help quickly would be much appreciated. any parents drop their kids off? experiences? much thanks Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 14? Hell, I remember running the park alone with friends when we were 11 or 12 and checking in with our parents occasionally. I'm sure he'll be fine as long as he is behaved, which doesn't sound like an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC65 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The single rider line for Justice League is fantastic and the ride seemed to be running well. The only effect not working when I rode was the fire. Is there even fire in this version? I know the one at Great America does but I've never ridden this one with the fire effect on. There is a fire effect at the end of the animatronic Joker room, and it works most of the time. However, shooting at the fog screen targets hasn't been working for weeks.

I am the young age of fifteen and can confirm we are completely capable of roaming around parks. I'd let a kid as young as twelve roam around, especially a somewhat smaller park like St. Louis.

ZambeziZinger Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 SFSTL is the stereotypical "babysitter" park during the summer. He won't be the only teenager dropped off at the park for the day. I'd suggest getting him the meal plan too so he's covered for meals for the day as well.

Kevin Long Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 -as I said I am not worried about him behaving or anything I just don't want them to stop him at the gate and ask about parents or guardians if he happens to be out there with a friend or two and no adults in the party. I appreciate all the input - I was going to get him the meal plan as well then he really can go without a lot of cash. has anyone here actually left kids all day with no supervision? if so any problems or concerns? thanks all for the info Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even had to go to guest relations once due to a problem with his pass so it was obvious to those in authority that they were unsupervised. The meal plan is a very good idea because then they really don't need to carry any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJK Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 This reminds me, once when my entire family had flash passes at Magic Mountain, 3 out of the four left leaving little old me, my fourteen year old self at the time, to return them and get back my mother's driver's license. It went just fine, no questions asked. Just be sure the kid you're giving it to isn't stage fright and will ask or talk to an employee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danrarbc Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just saw a Facebook event posted by the park. Apparently they're doing New Year's Eve fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelRush Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 One of my parents just sits in a restaurant or shady spot and I go walk around with a friend. I have a watch and a reporting time, and follow through with that. I'd think that he'd be responsible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWFan Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 While the park was originally scheduled to be open through January 1st, it will now be open on January 2nd (2-8pm that day only). So make sure you drop off all of your ten year olds, twelve year olds, and fourteen year olds to rampage through the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's awesome that they're doing that, so that should be a choice night to visit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castaway_kid Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I was told that the fireworks were not originally scheduled to happen on NYE but since two of the three days of fireworks during the Fourth of July were cancelled due to weather they moved them to NYE.

RSHSLax Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Is there a minimum temperature required for them to open? Sunday's high is only supposed to be around 15 degrees. I can't imagine riding anything in those conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine riding anything in those conditions. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they close the park in anticipation of the fact that they'll probably lose money by opening that day. If they open I don't really expect any coasters to run, they push the limits to the max but 15 degrees is pretty extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
