One of thee things that no matter the year that Six Flags St. Louis has
always done right was to turn the train ride into part of Fright Fest.
In years past the train has been held up by the TNT Gang, had to deal with
the evil "Pigman" and a few other monsters but this year the train was going
all radioactive on us.
Despite the "theme" to whatever story they add to the ride the train always
stops by the River King Mine Ride where there are a few set buildings.
There is normally some monster, cowboy, mutant or redneck farmer that attacks
the train and whatever happens the finale is when this building falls apart
and then blows up.
It is always a good time mostly because everyone on the train riffs the
actors and action and makes it all into a giant real life "Mystery
Science Theater 3000".
One thing that I really liked about this years Fright Fest was that Six
Flags St. Louis really went out of the way to put some sort of theming,
attraction, scare zone or fun Halloween thing everywhere in the park like
this hay maze.
Squeezed between the train station and Tsunami Soaker the Hay Maze was not
that big but to us the fact that they did it. Little attractions like
this that you have some fun with your friends and family are what really
makes a great Halloween event.
