I'm considering going to St. Louis for their opening weekend. Do you think it'll be packed? I remember SFGAM last year was ridiculous and nearly impossible to get on any rides. If St. Louis is going to be like that I'm not sure it's worth the drive/hotel stay.
I wouldn't be too concerned with crowds at Six Flags St. Louis. In my many visits there, I have only seen the park packed once. Most of the time you can ride all the coasters multiple times by 3 or 4pm without a problem.
The only times I've visited SFStL have been Opening Weekend or the weekend after. I've never had any problems. Don't be surprised to see one train operations on most coasters, but it shouldn't matter. That's how it was during my visits and still got on everything, nothing was more than a stairs wait. Love the park because of this. Not to mention it houses Screamin Eagle and American Thunder, which are both in my top ten.
It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? (Sorry in advance for unnecessary commas and parenthesis every where)
Went to Six Flags St. Louis. For opening day. Got on just about everything with no problem. The Boss coaster was closed due to cold temperatures. Crowd's weren't to bad but getting food and refills had long wait times.
The other problem I encountered was i wanted to add gold dinning to my gold pass and was told I couldn't. Because my my gold pass was issued at GA they couldn't add dinning. So anyone thinking about doing this you can not. So no food at the park for me!
^ cold be worse. When I was activating my 2016 season pass, a lady was trying to activate hers but they wouldn't let her because she bought them on Six Flags America's website. Hope she didn't have to go to Maryland just for that lol

We also went and it was fun. We got on the Boss on Saturday afternoon and it was worth the wait! We got on quite a few rides, but we didn't even attempt to go on Justice League.
The worst part was the food lines. We had another person come with us and they have a membership. We tried to attach their season dining to the membership and after 2 hours in line and some rude people with EAP's cutting in front of us we were told it wasn't possible. I spent 1/4 of our day in that line. :/
We got a snack on Saturday afternoon and it took over an hour in a line to get pretzels and nachos. We didn't use our dining pass for any meals because it was ridiculous!
Overall, it was fun and worth the 5 or so hour drive (we're in SE Wisconsin). The weather was great for the parks and the kids had lots of fun riding on different coasters.
Hmmm... That's odd. I never had any problems with food lines and I was there all three days. However, I am also realistic and conservative about which lines I actually stay in. So I guess that might also be part of the reason I didn't have problems. Oh well.

The lines on Friday were okay for food. We just grabbed a snack and it took maybe 10 min. The lines on Saturday around 3ish were terrible! I thought it would be okay since lunch was nearly done and dinner wasn't quite there yet, but it was bad.
I did take the survey they sent and mentioned that if they can't get the lines to a reasonable level they really need to allow people to bring in snacks. If we had some peanut butter crackers or something the kids would have done so much better and I would have skipped the snack line.
