The River King Mine Train at Six Flags St. Louis/Mid America Park By Enchanted Parks, Eureka, Missouri

With Thunderation at Silver Dollar City closing at the end of the year the River King Mine Train will remain as Missouri's only Arrow Dynamics designed mine train coaster.

The River King Mine Train may not be the biggest or best mine train....

...but for a fifty-five year old coaster it is a still a ton of fun to ride.

My bit question outside of if Mid-America Park will get a new coaster for 2027 is how are they going to re-theme this park?  The DC Comics Plaza, the Warner Brothers Backlot, and Looney Tunes Town sections of the park are going to need to be re-themed unless Enchanted Parks can get DC and Warner to agree to let them continue using those properties.  Personally this park needs a re-theme or at least a refresh on the themes that are not tied to Six Flags anyway.  My hope is that Enchanted puts that cash into the park instead of paying for intellectual properties.  Why not re-theme the park to the 1908 Worlds Fair with sections for industry, the gateway to the west, the world of the future, and an international section.

With multiple theaters around the park that have been horrible under utilized for decades it is nice to see shows returning to Six Flags St. Louis.  The entertainment director was one of the forces behind all of the award winning shows at Six Flags Flags Fiesta Texas so we should be in good hands.  The lineup looks pretty good with shows that encompass country, rock, pop, movie soundtracks, and even a train robbery.
