Most people tend to forget that Six Flags St. Louis has a bumper car
ride but here it is, the Water Street Cab Company.
The blue shoot the chutes ride in front of the Screamin' Eagle is the Tidal
Wave. It's rarely open when we come to Six Flags St. Louis because
we tend to go early or late in the season. It looks like a lot of
things at Six Flags St. Louis it has recently gotten a fresh coat of paint.
I just love the Screamin' Eagle's logo. You just don't see cool logos
like this on coasters anymore.
The Eagle doesn't show up highly in a lot of polls because it's kind of
a finicky ride. You can ride it three times in a day and two of the
three rides will be rough and airless while the third ride will be smooth
and full of fantastic airtime. Personally I think it's in desperate
need to a complete re-tracking one of these years rather than the patchwork
of new and old wood that it has now.
