The American Thunder (Formerly Evel Knievel) roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis, Eureka, Missouri

It's time to get Evel. Oh crap I can't say that anymore since Six Flags grew tired of paying Evel Knievel's estate in order to use his name for this coaster. So I guess I can say "It's time to Thunder" but it doesn't sound as good.

As you can see the boards that once highlighted Evel Knievel's life are now gone. The word is there's going to be a history of roller coasters here as well as some information on the American Coaster Enthusiasts which will be nice to read while waiting in line.

If you're thinking that the train for American Thunder looks just like it did last year you're almost right.
