Six Flags St. LouisEureka, MissouriLast edited by James Rao Six Flags St. Louis History: Six Flags St. Louis opened in 1971 as the third amusement park in the Six Flags chain. It was originally called Six Flags Over Mid-America. Screamin' Eagle, once the fastest roller coaster in the United States, opened in 1976. Other coasters include Batman the Ride, The Boss, Mr. Freeze, The Ninja, and Tony Hawk's Big Spin. The park added a GCI wooden coaster called Evel Knievel in 2008. A water park called Hurricane Harbor opened in 1999 adjacent to Six Flags. Hurricane Harbor is free with admission to the amusement park. Hours: http//www.sixflags.com/stLouis/. Six Flags St. Louis is open from late March through Halloween. Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park. Reservations: Six Flags St. Louis sells Flash Passes, which offer priority boarding opportunities. For much more, you can buy a VIP tour, which allows you and your group to skip all the lines. Strategy: Traverse the park in a clockwise fashion riding the following: Evel Knievel, Mr. Freeze, The Boss, Screamin' Eagle, The Ninja, and Batman. If you move quickly, you can beat most of the crowds. If not, plan on getting a Flash Pass. By the time you complete this circuit, you will have experienced the best the park has to offer. Once complete, you can back track hitting River King Mine Train, Tony Hawk, Xcalibur, and any of the midway attractions you like most. Also, plan on re-riding your favorite coasters again after dark as several of them (EK, The Boss, and Screamin' Eagle, in particular) offer excellent night rides.
