I really liked SFSTL and enjoyed my time there. The park is beautiful and was very clean as well, plus all employees seemed to be working quick and were very friendly, I'm liking the "new Six Flags" more and more everyday, also a lot of things looked touched up and "new" for example Ninja's brand new paint looks absolutely great and really drew attention to the ride... even if it isn't the greatest ride ever.
Anyway, 5 words: Evel Knievel and Mr. Freeze! These two rides were just plain kick ass, never in a million years did I imagine Mr. Freeze to be so intense and so much fun! I was hoping Mr. Freeze wasn't gonna be like Flight of Fear at Kings Island (which sucks) but thankfully my expectations were pretty much blown away after I rode it in the front row, It really is one of the "Coolest Coasters on the Planet" Great hang-time especially on the return trip and you gotta love the couple seconds of weightlessness you get on the vertical spike. If you go to SFSTL DON'T MISS OUT ON MR. FREEZE!
Evel Knievel was just as good as I was expecting it to be, maybe even a little bit better, Almost Terminator good! All and all who doesn't love a smooth GCI in those incredibly comfortable Millennium Flyers, with an abundance of those irresistible little "pops" of airtime
Well that's what makes Evel Knievel great!The Boss is a huge ride, parts of me hated it and left me cursing at it, and then the other side of me loved it deep down on the inside, It has a good layout, but Isn't really the smoothest thing ever... With a smoother ride it would be pretty damn good!
Screamin Eagle was pretty fun, definitely a few pops of good airtime in there. really nothing too exceptional but I enjoyed my ride on it.
I found BTR to be really exceptional, like wayyyyy better then any of the other one's I've been on, excluding the one at SFGAm, because It's still the best... Twisted Twins trains were also being stored under BTR...
Oh yes, I almost forgot. They were doing some kind of "Double Ride" thing till 1 in the afternoon, basically every train got to go twice, it was pretty sweet deal especially on Evel Knievel and Mr. Freeze!
Anyway I probably went on for too long... pictures...
We decided to start our day at Evel Knievel..
We got to the park 20 minutes after they opened and Evel Knievel was still testing.......
Stayed for about 7 minutes then said screw it lets go lose our Mr. Freeze Virginity...
After that we went to get our Ninja credit. Ninja's are hot
"I agree, but this Vekoma death machine is not so hot.."
Thankfully it wasn't so bad
I even kinda liked it
ahh snap outta it, B&M time!
Batman clones really are good
We ate at Panda later in the day, it was like the one at Great Adventure, full service unstead of having to order off a menu... I love these
River King Mine Train, was actually a very pleasant mine train experience
Double Days!
My second 2nd gen Intamin tower
Reminded me of how much I miss Giant Drop and It's always short line, this Superman tower is very popular!!
Screamin Eagle. I miss American Eagle.
That eagle on the front of the train looks like a puppet
Airtime
The Boss
Freeze me baby
Watch out for your legs
buttons are functional, I wonder what the big red one does.... someone press it
Looking down the break run
The entrance for this ride is pretty hidden
I think this is my favorite Tony Hawk clone
It seems to blend in better
This is where the other Big Spin models can get a bit jerky, but this one was smooth as butter
Wheels
That's seat 4 right there..
curveyy
Didn't ride this
It had some themeing
I like the way the sign looks
These are helpful
Mr. Freeze, through the tree's
Ferris Wheel
There was a lot of thing around the park that really pushed getting a season pass, I saw it everywhere, even when going up the boss's lift hill
These go on trash cans
The sign for The Boss looks pretty cool
I spy screamin eagle
There's The Boss
Some Airtime
Wood
The Boss is pretty massive
I know what that is
Mine Train
Freeze!!! Your under arrest!
This ride must use a ton of power
look! Its namtaB!
There goes namtaB through it's first loop
The paint job still looks really good
Mmmm GCI
Isn't it a beauty
Ninja
THBS
geee, that's very zero of you
Who loves the "B&M Whip" I know I do!
It's Snowy's!
inside the refrigerator
That's a pretty impressive structure
The scooby doo dark ride was really fun
I'm a fan of the all black paint job
Fountains
And pink trees
I love the way this looks
Evel Knievel was a walkon and at some points a stayon the entire day, but if there was a line I would have read these.
Shazammm!!!
Finishing out the day with 2 laps on Mr. Freeze, Overall I really enjoyed my day at SFSTL!
THE END!
I just barely remember riding Screamin Eagle and the Mine Train when I was a kid.
