Another ride that is just perfect is Sky Screamer.
Sky Screamer is so much fun because it takes you up, spins you
around at forty-three miles an hour totally cooling you off with a
wonderful breeze. About the only thing terrifying about it is
dangling over two hundred feet in the sky from chains that look like
those from a backyard swingset.
For decades Six Flags St. Louis has been at the bottom of the barrel
when Six Flags Corporate gives out investment and budgets.
Knowing that the parks management have taken the tack of "what can
we do inexpensively using funds that we don't have to ask corporate
for". This change in thinking has lead to the long unused
remote controlled car track over by the River King Mine Train being
turned into some additional seating.
This in itself is not a big deal but with all of the staff at Six
Flags St. Louis empowered to come up with all sorts of little
projects to make the park better from added seating to having
management take on painting parts of the park in the off season
these ideas and actions will eventually get this park back to being
the gem of the chain that it once was.
While I have complained about how corporate is always happy to take
profits from this park and return very little the people who work
here really care and are trying in any way possible to make it a
great park. Hopefully with Six Flags merging with Cedar Fair
and Cedar Fair management in the drivers seat everyone who has
worked so hard at this park will be rewarded with some real capital
investment to spruce up the park, add capacity, and eventually add
some big new rides.
