Before my visit, all I had heard about SFStL was how it was neglected by Six Flags. What I found was a well-shaded park in a gorgeous setting with some awesome thrill rides. It's far from the best Six Flags park, and desperately needs a signature coaster, but it's very underrated for what it offers.

Scooby Doo Ghostblasters: Mystery of the scary swamp was the BEST!

Definitely an underrated coaster lineup!

I visited the park in last December, and I absolutely agree that the park is the most underrated SF park! Absolutely beautiful landscaping, lots of TLC around the park, friendly staff, and the HITP event was amazing. In terms of the new ride, 2022 will probably be their big year. Freespin/Raptor for the old Tidal Wave plot of land, or RMC Boss. Then we can later expect a flat replacement for the rides leaving this year.

This is my home park. This place is my LIFE. I grew up in St. Louis and this was the only Park that was fairly close, and its extremely underrated.

SFSL is my local park and I think that if Six Flags invests more in the park it would really pay out! I think Fright Fest is definitely something that should be further invested in here, as it is very popular!

This is my home park so I have a lot of love for it! I have always felt like it was the neglected child of the six flags parks but it really has some great rides. I went again last Saturday and it didn’t disappoint.

Now that I think about it this park does look rly nice

I grew up in Nebraska and the only parks my family went to were Disney. I ended up living in St. Louis and last summer got to have an annual pass and had the summer my childhood always wanted. Love Mr. Freeze and the Boss. I felt like Screamin' Eagle was really rough. My back killed after riding it. But the many rides are just really fun and even calm rides like Colossus and the railroad were really nice. Moved a few months ago and hope I can come back sometime in the future!

My first legal job at 15 in 2003. The office for my games section was in the game area at the exit of Screaming Eagle. Less than 500ft from the track and there was technically no back wall, just an awning they could let down if it rained. So every time Eagle came by it would shake and make the deafening noise. I know firsthand they take good care of the ride but since it is so old and we were right there you can see how much the whole frame shakes as the trains go by. The Boss was so smooth the year it opened. My friends had season passes so I got in as a guest and we went at least once a week that year. You would have no idea now. When I was a kid the Battle for Metropolis thing was Castaway Kids, and then Scooby Doo. I haven't ridden it since It was Scooby Doo but they kept in the bats in the ceiling at the end from Injun Joe's, what it was when my mom was a kid going to the park. I wonder if they are still there. Batman is my favorite coaster in the park. While many of us who have grown up with the park always have love for it, we mourn what it used to be. A lot of bad management and investments as well as just mismanaging money ran it down, hard. I had a weird ride situation and often had to be dropped off two hours before my shift at 6am. I would be allowed to wait in the main office and whew boy, the things I heard when they thought I was listening to headphones.

Man I'm pretty sure this is the ONLY six flags I've ever been to lol, and not just once, nooooo. I've probably been going here atleast once or twice a year on average since I was a kid with family and such. And lemme just sidenote, Scooby Doo was a much more fun ride than the new DC version

Six Flags St. Louis not having a kiddie coaster was literally the catalyst for me to get over my fear of coasters back in 2007 on my first visit there. I find this park to have very good rides and it’s well taken care of maintenance wise, but operationally it could definitely use help, particularly in the foods department. But with the staffing situation plaguing parks everywhere, it’s understandable that there is problems. Also I’ve heard their rides department has their fair share of issues too. Worlds of Fun actually has the best rides department of any Missouri park. Like Worlds of Fun’s rides department has amazing management, great supervisors, and great leadership. Rest In Peace Superman Tower of Power. It was actually Six Flags AstroWorld’s Dungeon Drop before it was at Six Flags St. Louis

i guarantee you 2022 is the year for the next coaster at st louis (the park manager said something big was being announced in august)

this park really surprised me, i feel that removing ninja and replacing it with a raptor and just overall improvements would really bring this park to a higher tier in the chain

Thank you for covering my hometown park and giving it what I will say is a VERY generous review. 🙂

Their collection of coasters is incredible. I love each and every one of them, but I don't find the park as a whole underrated because it was kind of hard for me to enjoy my day because of the horrific operations. I only managed 1 ride on each of the coasters, and that's with Screamin Eagle being down all day (and I was there from park open to close)

I had a great time here, definitely agree that it deserves more love!

What a great, thorough review. Thanks.

I'm happy to see you giving credit to this park for what it is. Some people like to trash on it just because it's not an elite park, but it's still a good park. I have enjoyed my visits here, and it's a convenient stop on my road trips that take me through St Louis. I made 3 pit stops here in 2019 for less than 2 hours each time. I only rode Ninja each time, because the park was slammed, even on a Tuesday, with huge lines (except on Ninja). I was wondering if the light crowds I saw in 2016-2018 were a thing of the past. We'll have to wait and see how it is under normal conditions.

Great video as always man! I agree six flags at Louis is underrated! I loved my experience here and the staff is very nice and the park layout is cool, confusing but cool. Just wish they would give them a new coaster

The staff there is great, I went there last weekend for opening day and the staff that were walking around were super helpful

I think six flags St. Louis is actually a fun place. It may not have the best coaster collection, but you can still have a good time there!

our six flags is so nice man i’m just glad a small city like is has one

i’m going there tomorrow for around the 10th time. it’s a great park and i really enjoy it. great review

I went a short little weekend-vacation trip to St. Louis this weekend, and since it had been ages since I had visited a theme park, I was sure to visit SFSL while I was there. And I have to agree with you, it's very underrated. As I am from Milwaukee I have visited SFGA a number of times, and while it's true that they have a lot more standout roller coasters, I personally found the hour-long wait time for a majority of them to be unbearable. It was so refreshing when I realized how short most of the lines at SL are, I was able to score a ride on Mr. Freeze less than 20 minutes after I stepped foot into the park. As I am also a rail enthusiast, I also appreciated that the steam locomotive that runs on their scenic railway is the real deal, and one of the staff members allowed me to blow the engine's whistle. I feel like a lot of coaster enthusiasts only rank parks by how many coasters they have, which is a shame as SFSL isn't the first theme park I personally really enjoy that gets shafted by a lot of enthusiasts (The other being Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota). Is SL the biggest Six Flags park? No, but bigger isn't always better. If I ever go to St. Louis again I'd love to give the park another visit.

I went to Six Flags St. Louis for the first time earlier this year in July, to celebrate graduating from high school, and I had a blast there. I enjoyed all the coasters there, especially Mr. Freeze. Launching backwards at 70mph is something everyone needs to experience, it was indescribably thrilling. The Batman is another good coaster, it basically has no straight sections outside of the initial lift hill, and once it drops off that hill it is a non-stop barrage of twists and turns and loops, it was super intense and super fun. The park was busy but not crowded when I went their and even at the height of the day the longest waits were an only an hour which I thought was fine. The park was immaculately clean and well maintained when I was there, I never saw any trash or signs of neglect there. The parks location is really great, the Ozarks are a beautiful region of wooded rolling hills, and that makes it easy for the park to look good, because nature does half the work for them. If you wanna visit a theme park in Missouri Six Flags St. Louis is a great choice, it's got a great location and some really good coasters.

Thanks for talking about more than just the coasters, I love coasters but knowing there's a Justice League shooter dark ride just totally sold me on the park when I was on the fence about going before

This is my home Six Flags in that I live about 60 miles away from it, and I have loved it ever since I was a kid. I think it definitely has a solid roller coaster collection. I have purchased a season pass for this year, but I haven't been there for several years. I can't wait to revisit it time and time again this year. The Boss and Batman are my top two coasters there, although I haven't been on Mr. Freeze since they reversed it. I am looking forward to checking that out. I have to say XCalibur ranks as one of my favorite rides there. Tom's Twister was a fun ride while it made you stick to the wall as it went in circles. I don't think it is still there. I do enjoy the Ninja, although I wouldn't be mad if they took it out and replaced it with a better coaster. It looks like the Raptor would be pretty great.

I promise when the Batman first opened at SFSTL, that whole queue line was necessary and filled.

Ive been going to 6 flags st louis since I was a kid and I was severely disappointed when they took out the bumper cars for the boomerang. Over the years its seemed to loose its old school carnival feel for a newer sterile feel and it makes me sad. The small games like the rc cars and boats and the more dense greenery disappearing along with things like the old swings and bumper cars for more concrete just irks me.

Great background music!

The Boss hasn't been the same since they removed the helix. It desperately needs a rmc treatment.

I visited in April on Easter weekend. Mr Freeze was closed the entire day. Ninja was under construction. And the screaming Eagle was super rough and i banged my head several times, I had that same issue with boomerang. It was still pretty fun

Outside of the distinctive way you pronounce ‘Soup-man’, I find your videos enjoyable and, quite frankly, helpful. Thank you

I've always said that The Boss is one of the big 3 Woodies in the Six Flags chain (along with Roar at Six Flags America and Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake) that I think will be redone at some point; be it a full on RMC IBox conversion, GCI Titan Track conversion or a simple full on retracking/new trains.

I "agree!!!" I visited the park in 2001. Also Silver Dollar City 2 days b 4. Both were extremely fun. SF St. Louis was clean, friendly, the water park was great & the food was good. It does have a nice hilly location. I went when the Boss & water park were fairly new. I love the railroad (while propane fired) It's still live steam, unlike SF Atlanta. I spent a most enjoyable day there & returned to Hannibal, MO for more Tom Sawyer Days. Post 911 was my 1st visit to WDW.

I agree with you that a kiddie coaster would be a really good fit for this Park. I'm honestly very surprised that they do not have one

I know I have a bit of bias since this is my home park, but I tend to throw the boss up there in my favorite rides for the night ride alone. With the trims due to the removal of the double helix, it’s not quite as great, but throw titan track on that baby and modify the end (so you can get those trims weakened), and you have yourself a ride better than millennium force for sure.

I went to six flags st louis for the first time 2 months ago. I had a good overall day. The park exceeded expectations in terms of upkeep and aesthetics. I heard from many that it was a concrete jungle but I found it to actually be the nicest looking six flags park out of the 7 I've been to. I also thought the coaster exceeded expectations. Boss and Mr Freeze were both 9/10 for me with Batman and American thunder being fantastic supporting coasters. However, I there were some things that hindered my day. Coaster dispatches and ops were beyond awful and when the park was slammed for Easter weekend it meant 40min waits for rides that at a cedar fair park it would be 10min. Food ops were awful as well. It took 1hr to get food as locations were full up on the dining plan and I remember not even liking the food items I got. I still enjoyed my day though.

Lower teir six flags are epic because the lines are shorter.

RMC Boss seems like an absolute no-brainer, even if they wanted to be cheap and only make it 125ft tall or so

The only other six flags park that I’ve been to and I rlly enjoy. Boss, screaming eagle and Mr freeze in my eyes is one of my favorite trios at different parks

Any ninja or boomerang POV coming up ☺️ I'm actually very interested going to ride on both of those rides and those are two of my bucket list coasters to go to St Louis very soon in the near future in the next couple of years if they're still there 😁👍

I went as a kid many years ago, and I went back in 2020 and spent a few hours at the park on my way to Silver Dollar City. For me SFSL needs a standout coaster. I found that Boss, Screaming Eagle, American Thunder, Mr Freeze, and Batman are all great supporting coasters. The park needs to either RMC Boss or better yet give this park a RMC Raptor, which would allow the park to keep all of those supporting coasters. I did feel that the setting was better than some SF parks. I would say it is underrated but I think Over Georgia is the most underrated Six Flags park. Their roller coaster line-up is really good and I feel they have the standout top 2 in Twisted Cyclone and Goliath.

St. Louis is a really great six flags i been their about 8 times and they got really thriller roller coasters Batman mrs freeze the boss American thunder boomerang and more rides but super man is leaving St. Louis i hate that for other people but like we still got Batman the boss and all those awesome roller coasters but on the boss you get really good Air time on it and it fast and ruff but probably not ruffer then screaming eagle but nothing gonna change my mind from leaving St. Louis six flags I’m never trading St. Louis six flags

Everytime I try to ride the sky screamer there’s maintenance problems..maybe they should just tear it down and put something else there?

please do six flags over Georgia next I like these park/coater review weeks

My fav park, the scenery is so nice

I was surprised to hear that the park no longer has a kiddie coaster. I wonder when they got rid of it. They had one when I used to go there with my dad as a kid. Of course, that was back in the 80’s. I remember when they first opened mine train, ninja, and Batman.

Sky Screamer actually got stuck at the top with people on it this past saturday, and because of that Mr. Freeze was delayed, but by the middle of the afternoon all 9 coasters were running. The worst wait of the day ended up being the wait for food

I thought of visiting all 3 Missouri parks in one vacation but now I am not sure because of the distance between all 3 of them. That won't be a problem for me but it might be for otheres I go with. So my question is do you think I should visit all of them in one trip or take individual trips and experience them one at a time?

Anyone who reads this, I have a question. If six flags wanted to put an rmc in st Louis, which wooden coaster should they rmc?

Alright its me the great escape fanboy. Obviously I'm here to say that great escape is the most underrated park, but st. Louis is definitely underrated, and needs some more love. They need a hyper, an rmc conversion to boss, and a updated kiddie area plus some new waterpark attractions. Also, nice music in the background

I wonder what their next coaster could be? 🤔 excluding a potential rmc conversion, I think the raptor is ideal.

"I want to go on something more thrilling than Log Flume 1."

This is my home park and I love it and I’m pretty biased towards it.

the ninja is actually a codeveloped ride between arrow and vekoma. and was used when we got it. its my home park, but ive let my season pass expire.

I went to the children’s hospital event yesterday and half of my class was there we all had so much fun riding the boss like 5 times it was so fun but sadly screamin eagle was closed

i dont know why you chose this music for whatever reason but its hilarious

I am going this week! Well, If my plans don’t fail because there is something that could stop me from going.

Did Mr. Freeze get updated at some point? When I was younger, I would have sworn you were shot out forward, then came back into the loading station in reverse.

Excalibur use to be at Six Flags Great Adventure as Evolution. It was always shut down at Six Flags Great Adventure when I went. Looks to be doing good at Six Flags St Louis.

The Boss used to absolutely tear through the second half of the layout, but they started trimming it around the time they removed the helix. It sucks. P.S. Night rides during Fright Fest were insane as well. I honestly believe that a lot of people who dislike The Boss would change their tune if they actually got a night ride, but given how it crawls around the turn after the MCBR, even on a hot day in the summer, I imagine it's not open for Fright Fest anymore. Guess I was lucky to get a front seat night ride a few years back.

Just an update on six flags st louis. Catwoman whip replaced superman tower of power. This means that superman tower of power no longer exists in six flags st louis.

If they RMC the boss, it'll give this park the great stand-out coaster that SFSTL DESPERATELY needs again. I hate seeing my home park neglected by the chain. (Can only imagine how Frontier City people feel.) If RMC Boss happens, I'd be able to ride it! I've been strongly advised to not ride it be everyone I know because of its extreme roughness. I've heard rumors about RMC Boss in 2025 multiple times online, talking about how the park's general manager is trying to get it to happen, and that they were planning to do it in 2021 for the park's 50th anniversary, but I haven't been able to find any sources.

Six Flags St Louis is like the worlds of fun of the six flags chain, good collection of coasters, but hasn’t gotten a good quality coasters since the mid 2000’s

As a kid the scooby doo ride was my favorite thing to do and I also rode all the coasters

Is superman tower of power open or closed down for good?

I’ve never been but I hope to get there in May or June

I visit six flags stl all the time. its super cheap after all and has a pretty nice experience. but stl has improved alot. I saw the boss and screamin eagle run 3 and RARELY 1 train

When are you going to Six Flags St Louis next?

When I was a kid battle for Metropolis was called engine Joe's Cavern

mr freeze is a shuttle coaster, why would it be 2 train opps?

as a eureka resident, mr freeze is arguably the best ride I’ve ever rode

Scooby Doo Ghostblasters scared the crap out of me as a kid!

I remember when I was a kid the massive cue lines would be totally full.

for boss to run it needs to be above 54.F and have half of the car to run smoothly or atleast 8 bags of two 50lbs bars of lead ( 2 bar in 1 bag)

Personally I have a high tolerance for rough rides and love them though my top 3 coasters here are 1. Mr freeze 2. The boss 3. Batman

SILVER DOLLAR CITY IS AMAZING!!

RIP Superman

I keep imagining the Boss with a complete GCI re-track and all trims removed - just like GR.. Dare to dream, and I'd honestly prefer that to an RMC just this once.

I remember when the Batman ride came out in 1995 and the line was 2 hrs long.

Went to this park 3 weeks ago. Boss and American thunder were both down. Park was in horrible condition maintenance wise. My family goes every year and this year was disappointing.

This was my home park as a kid

I remember back in the 70’s 80’s there was a kid coaster can’t remember why they got rid of it

Mr. Freeze breaks your neck lol

Justice League Battle for Metropolis is literally shit compared to Scooby Doo Ghostblasters. Yes I ridden both. I love ridding Scooby Doo.

I've been at six flags st louis... Fav theme park, Fav Coaster: American Thunder.

The log flume used to have more creative names like Hoo-Hoo and ice mountain splash

Home sweet home

Mr. Freeze by design CAN'T run two trains as it's a single track that goes back and forth on the same track in both directions. I believe at one time Screamn' Eagle did operate two trains but one was removed some years ago.

school orchstra is the ebst cause were having a feild trip there tomorrow! (good luck to me sleeping)

I love it I go every year it is awesome there

I was there not too long ago almost half the park was closed every ride vibrated it more than any other park I’ve ever been to and rides are extremely limited

I agree with EVERYTHING he says!

The sandbags on Boss are actually bags of lead.

I love this park although I am biased I work there lol 😂

well they have a kitty coaster now called rookie racers and catwomans whip replaced superman with a new joker ride going to replace Excalibur in 2025

I really miss Scooby-Doo ghostblasters

They need to rmc the boss. Replace the ninja and take care of the general maintenance.
