SFStl Fan Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I guess 4th of July was a more realistic opening than Memorial Day. That's what I was thinking, that it might open by 4th of July. Hopefully they haven't decided to just have it be the new attraction for 2019 instead. Does anyone know if they were able to get the tube slide complex operational yet?

SFStl Fan Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 When you practically GIVE away your season passes and make memberships affordable for everyone, these are the types of idiots you invite into your park. I hope this earned this moron a permanent ban from all of Six Flag's properties and I hope the employee wasn't too badly harmed. http://www.kmov.com/story/38415050/caseyville-man-assaults-daffy-duck-at-six-flags-eureka-police-say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Sorry bud, but folks with low income are not automatically bad people, and people with money are as*holes too. And if you think for a second this type of thing only happens at Six Flags, you're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Fox Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Seriously, there's no information given about the suspect at all, and you just assume it's someone that's only there because the park is reasonably affordable? That's a hell of a conclusion. And if you think wealthier people are generally more considerate... I love this, though.

SFStl Fan Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 To clarify, I did not say this guy was an automatic scumbag because he may or may not have money. However, when you invite everybody to the party, there's a higher chance of morons like this being let in with their asinine behavior. The potential for that behavior is increased commensurate with the fact that entrance to the park was cheap, therefore potential personal loss from acting irresponsibly is minimal.

castaway_kid Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I mean there is a reason employees call the bring a friend free days "Bring a Felon Free Day"... There usually is a much high rate of crime on those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're literally contradicting yourself in the same paragraph. Nice try though. People that have money and can afford to go to any park in the world are also capable of douchebag behavior. What the park charges has nothing to do with someone acting like a douchebag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWFan Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I wanted to share my favorite “version” of this news story. It’s quite possibly my favorite headline ever, and it includes the line, “No, it isn’t duck season.” https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/sufferin-succotash-daffy-duck-attacked-at-six-flags-in-eureka/article_3fe44106-f49e-5124-8dc0-d849f1a31959.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danrarbc Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The (Android) app has been very spotty for me this season as well. You often just get a black screen when trying to load the pass/membership benefits screen - you can get it to work by retrying a bunch but it isn't stable. Ride status isn't great either.

aaronmb Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Just got an email with a gold season pass offer which looks like it would be 55 with tax. Kind of strange since I already have the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danrarbc Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 TT is pretty good. Quite a bit different and less physically demanding than Tornado (there's quite a bit of force as you bottom out in the funnel on Tornado the first time or two out of the drop, so you have to hold tighter).

3Mutts Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 ^ Seems like someone wasn't holding onto the handle bars. Either way these rides are designed to be navigable without a tube in case someone falls out so he/she is most likely fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way these rides are designed to be navigable without a tube in case someone falls out so he/she is most likely fine Heck I'm not even sure how you could fall out if you didn't hold on on this ride. The forces really are much weaker than something like Tornado. I watched three kids go down Big Kahuna without holding on Saturday so I'm not sure the staff is doing a great job of policing this right now.
