Six Flags St Louis

04/27/2006 Posted by bugmenot1

My husband and I took my sister and her kids when they were visiting from MI. While my 16-yr-old niece is a coaster NUT and can go all day, my 13-yr-old nephew has a relatively weak stomach and can only go on certain kinds of coasters, and that only every 30-45 minutes. While waiting for stomach to settle, looked for other things to do, but most non-coasters cost more. No info on website (that I could find) about what rides are NOT included in admission price, and there are a LOT. Had a hard time keeping nephew entertained. And because they're now searching bags when you enter, you really can't take in food, so you're forced to pay outrageious food prices: $3.25 water, $5.99 "large" soda (looks like a medium elsewhere) + $2 refills, etc. And no straw! Disney World is a better value!

Pros: great for coaster nut, short lines in spring

Cons: too expensive

Very expensive! At least half the rides cost extra money, the food is expensive, and a bottle of water is $3!!! Take the $400 you will spend, and spend a weekend somewhere else!

Pros: kids like it

Cons: expensive

You get to use both parks (rides and waterpark) for one price. Food is very expensive, if you are looking for a way to save, pack a cooler and blanket for lunch and take a break from the park. Food can not be brought in except for medical conditions, bags are searched.

Pros: can use both parks

You have pay for almost every thing if you don't have a season pass or cupons for stuff. You have to pay for parking, to get in, food, and some rides. If you know you are going to go more then once you should definetly buy a season pass it will save you alot more. You can always find a 10 or 12 dollar off cupon though. when you get into the park and you really want to go to one ride go to it first so the lines are not so long.

Pros: Great Rides, Fun for the family

Cons: very crowded, very expensive

well, its expensive. if you buy a season pass its a better deal. that way if you go more than once its worth it. also, it costs to park. the food inside is expensive, even the McDonalds. So last time, we brought a cooler and had a picnic in the shade in the parking lot. Its always HOT. the lines are really long for some things; like the water park. not for the rides but just to get IN the water park. Seriously. and it moves pretty slow. then u get inside and wait in lines again. u probably will have to rent a locker and a tube. more $$$. fright fest is i guess cool to kids. we went once. we have some cool rollercoasters.

Pros: fun

Cons: expensive, long lines, HOT

Six Flags St. Louis is a nice park. Recommend you get there in line before it opens and hit Scooby Doo and Mr. Freeze first thing so you don't have to wait an hour or more to get on them. Bring Sunscreen. Also, the park has in and out privs, so bring your own lunch, snacks, etc and eat at your car. You can also pay 4.00 extra and get a closer parking spot. Some of the ride entrances are somewhat hidden (Mine Car, Thunder River, etc) if you don't pay attention. Be sure to look very closely at the map you are given when you come in. Keep in mind that your ticket to get in doesn't cover some of the items (go-carts, several jumping things). They are extra.

Pros: rides, parking

Cons: crowded, expensive sodas and w

I now know why "The Boss" is one of the world's top 10 wooden roller coaster. It is awesome!! From the 1st drop on, you are zooming along the track.

Pros: Amusement/water park

Cons: Expensive parking, Expensive Food

The old wooden roller coaster Screaming Eagle is an absolute classic. Twenty years later, I still remember my first ride. Sure, there are bigger, flashier parks, but Six Flags St. Louis is still a good time.
