Got to give a little respect to Six Flags and their incompetent
corporate leadership for Rookie Racer. With little investment
in the chain the year before Rookie Racer opened the then CEO Selim
Bassoul freaked out over horrible numbers at the end of the season.

As a result parks were told to go and find deals at the annual
International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions trade
show. Rookie Racer was originally built for another park but
the deal fell through so Six Flags St. Louis got it for a deal.
Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags Fiesta Texas also scored
coasters during that trade show but Six Flags St. Louis really got
the best deal out of the three parks as both of the Kid Flash Cosmic
Coasters by Skyline Attractions purchased for those parks have been
maintenance nightmares and are closed where this fun little coaster
keeps thrilling guests.

Located up on the hillside in the back of the park Sky Screamer is
one of the best additions to Six Flags St. Louis over the last
couple of decades.

Raising a couple of hundred of feet suspended by chains while
spinning over forty miles an hour is a thrilling way to get a view
of the park while cooling off.

Sky Screamer is going to need a little of work next year as the Six
Flags lighted at the top of the two hundred and thirty-six foot tall
tower are going to have to come down. Travis has already
declared dibs on one set of them.
