SFSTL (From earlier this summer)

[BP317]

The city of St Louis! Known mainly for its crime and its beer company thats not American anymore.



It has a nice baseball stadium though.



She asked me to stop for a picture, so I stopped and took one.



Director_Guy cant wait for Fright Fest so he can go to Disney World.



We waited at the chains to ride Evel Knievel.



Now thats extreme theming.



Unlike Renegade and Thunderhead, EK doesnt have a station flyby.



EK is a solid coaster. Not really a top 10 or anything but a fun ride. Its much better in the front than the back.



This got me extremely sick last time I rode it, so seeing it closed made me happy.



Call this number for all your trash removal needs.



THBS, SFSTLs new for 2007 coaster. They have gotten 3 major rides in the last 3 years, and are getting an awesome parade next year. Score.



The Boss is a very underrated wooden coaster. Sure its a bit rough but has a great layout and the double helix is awesome (though no one on the train agreed with us) .



You get a good cardio workout navigating the queue also.



The Boss has a hybrid midevil & Harley Davidson theme.



Right next to the Boss is the parks enterprise.



Themed ads in front of Tony Hawk.

This could definitley use some cosmetic work like SFOTs.



The rapids ride goes under Mr Freezes queue line.



Random bulletin board in Mr Freezes line.



Your too close to that nitro! (SDC reference there for ya).



This probably sucked with OTSRs.




This portion of the TR is sponsored by Scott (Chitown), Mike Galvan, Dave (coasterdave), and Tom (sic coaster kid).

Waiting in Scoobys line is always scary.



Ill make sure to come back for this.



Im not a huge fan of these, but everyone else seems to be. At least it has good capacity.



STOP was running 3 cars and had a long line, pass.



The cars drop at different times.



STOP city-scape.



Screamin Eagle was running well but still is the 3rd best wooden coaster in the park.



It has plenty of hills and maintains its speed really well but not much air.



Darn I really wanted these items that dont fit in the lockers.

[BP317]

Its the Vekoma coaster with Shockwaves lift chain.



This might be the most rediculous thing I saw all day. There is a sign that says single riders, but there is no singles lane. My assumption would be they wanted to make that chute for single riders and the ride op would fill the empty seats with people from that chute. Its pretty outrageous that they somehow think people would realize this and/or it would work.



This is the BLACKBELT OF ROLLER COASTERS.



Yes this park has a BTR!
This Batman is "special," as it was the first one to be mirrored meaning the drop and all the inversions go "the other way." It also has a crazy long and twisty queue line including a garden that goes back and forth a bunch of times.


And heres a video for visual aid

You may notice this employee is wearing a blue shirt. Thats because I didnt have a pic of this from my 2008 visit so I used a 2006 pic. Enjoy.



The Batmans are still my favorite B&M inverts.



This queue line is like it was designed by someone who sucks at RCT.



Had plenty of time to take pics in this line.



Not only did this cop car crash into a fire hydrant, huge rocks from the sky fell on it.



Theres plenty of queueage to be waited in after walking through the garden.



BTR is extremely popular at this park and always has the longest line.



Apparently Gotham City is a good place to store strollers also.






Its the BATCAVE.



Like GAdv the Flashpass integrates in the station, meaning theres an open door in the Batcave letting all the light in.



This looks like a safe place to go.



This is where Batmans chryogenically frozen.



The traffic controller was wearing the invisbility robe from Harry Potter.



Like many BTRs the theming is in a bit of despair.






SFSTL still has the graffiti on the walls.



OMG a guys breaking in the lockers.
Wait that could never happen with all those people around there.



Wheres Shaq?



Scooby is probably my favorite ride in the park.



This guy was not working. Was pretty sad we stood at a distance waiting for him to spit so we didnt get hit and he never did.



This was my score. Wasnt as good as a couple years ago when we got "stuck" and kept hitting the same targets over and over again.

[BP317]

This was right next to an outdoor patio deck with no employee presence anywhere in the area...found that kind of interesting .


SFSTL is health department approved.


Much like BTR was built for the movie Batman Returns and TDK was built for the movie TDK, Mr Freeze was made for the movie Batman & Robin in the late 90s. This eating establishment in front of the ride showcased posters & stuff from the movie (didnt eat at it, but the posters were cool).



The ivy was a nice touch.



More rides on EK.



ACEr convention.



You will NOT be allowed to ride!



The ride circles around the queue line.
Even though the rides new and it was a Saturday in August before school started, the line never got longer than 15 minutes.



The queue and exit may be all bare plywood walls but the trains look really nice.



EK keeps up its speed really well and has some pops of air in the front row.



Another high speed banked turn around the station.



We walked through HH. It had really tall lush landscaping around all of the paths so the theming felt very authentic.



Notice this is a "permanent" sign.



Pirate ships, waterslides, an erupting volcano, ahoy!



It would be pretty fun to go fishing in HH.



Its one of those Tornado things.



Awesome sign, too bad its true =/



So this isnt as funny as the new signs in the Disney waterparks, I just work with what they give me.



We rode Mr Freeze again as it had started running 2 trains.






We got pretty lucky and picked the "good crew" side. At one point they sent 2 trains in the time the other side sent 1.



Tony Hawk and Evel Knievel have themed Six Flags TV.



EK, TH, and X2 are the only rides as far as I know that have themed SFTV.



Even though im not a huge fan of these Tony Hawk was a great addition to SFSTL, it is one of the most popular coasters there.



One last ride on EK before leaving.



One last picture of EK before leaving.



Anytime I see these signs it reminds me of the bathroom attendants that were to be in there at all times, im kinda glad they were cut as it was kinda creepy having someoene standing there while you do your business .



Later.

Your too close to that nitro! (SDC reference there for ya).

LOL Did you go to SDC this summer, if so what did you think of the costers, PK and WF are really good.

Anyway, nice TR I was going to go there this summer but my family spent an extra day in Branson.

[BP317]

LOL Did you go to SDC this summer

No but I did go last winter. Maybe ill do a TR.

[demonbulleagle]

SF should learn somethings about themeing from them, Christmas time there is amazing.
