The Boss Rollercoasater at Six Flags St. Louis, Eureka, Missouri

We walked up The Boss' very long queue to find the ride shut down due to technical issues. This was to become a theme for opening weekend as everything went down at least once as they worked the gremlins that took residence there over winter out of the rides.

Instead of walking all the way back down the hill we waited it out and they got The Boss back up.

What stunk was that they had to remove a train from service and go down to one train. Couple that with the whole double rides deal and it became a mess extremely fast. We did get on and eventually the ride ops decided to scrap the double ride deal because the line as working itself almost back down the hill.

How'd The Boss ride you ask? It was amazing. With the extremely wet winter we had it just flew around the course and since the wood wasn't dry (The Boss has such a big problem with this Six Flags has been known to water the track during the dry part of summer) it was about the smoothest this ride has ever been. Just look at the picture there are hands up on the helix instead of the normal gripping on for dear life as the ride bumps and shuffles painfully through the helix like normal.
