The new for 2016 Holiday In The Park Christmas celebration at Six Flags St. Louis, Eureka, Missouri

It was always fun walking through the Candy Cane Forrest. With some festive music, all the lights and laughter of children all around you it is hard not to have a smile come across your face and the holiday spirit growing in your heart.

Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast always looks great towering over the park but Bond would like to see the tower transformed into a giant Christmas tree with a star on the top. Maybe that will be added for Holiday In The Park 2017. The big thing that I would add would be to wrap all of the trees around the River King Mine Train with lights. A million lights would turn what is a great coaster into a really magical holiday experience.

One thing that we all did notice for Holiday In The Park was that Mr. Freeze's launch was quite a bit faster, Pandemonium's mid course brakes were turned down low and everything else was running faster then normal. A lot goes into getting coasters running in the cold and a little faster launch or harder polyurethane wheels make it so they can run this late in the season.

I am a big fan of all of the capes that are given out for playing games around the park and it was really nice to see some holiday ones added.

You can't have a Christmas celebration without the big guy in a red suit being on hand to take wishes for presents. Bond and I got in line to ask Santa for a giant B&M hyper coaster (his lead elf wholeheartedly agreed with us) but the call of coasters and less than an hour before closing made us leave the line.
