Six Flags St. Louis - Joker Update

 


Since our last update, the ride's marquee has been installed.  We think it looks really nice

I have to admit that I am happy (and surprised) to see that the entire queue will have coverings

That is except for a few connecting areas between covers, but that is still better than what Chicago got

The control booth and ride mechanics buildings have both received joker themed paint jobs.  They have also hung popcorn lights from the ceilings of the shade coverings

They have also hung lights in this section as well

A look at the connecting area between the fun house and the second part of the queue

Here is the exit from the fun house and the pathway to connect to the second part of the queue.  They have added two LED light poles for this section as well

There is enough room on this side of the fun house for a walk way.  I am not sure if this will be a bypass route or what

The initial set of switchbacks to be able to get into the funhouse

Here you can see the first set of switchbacks and the funhouse

Large new plaza area with brand new concrete.  The exit will be to the left of the marquee sign.  Both the exit for Joker and SuperGirl will be in that area

The crew doing more concrete pours to get the area ready.
Rookie Racer was closed today due to the construction

No opening date has been set yet, but we feel that they are getting closer


Six Flags St. Louis - Park Update

 

The front plaza of the park currently has lots of patriotic decorations

I may have just missed this during our past visits, but there is a nice new sign next to the Guest Services building near the Palace Gardens

No visible progress has been done on the Carousel since our last visit

Tsunami Soaker is still SBNO

We would not be surprised if this ride is removed during the off season

The fact that they boarded up the exit from the ride into the gift shop is very telling

Some new Rookie Racer merch at the Flags gift shop

Finally, for the first time since Covid, the park has paper maps again

Worlds of Fun - Park Update

 

We start today's update back in the Egypt section.  They have moved one of the King statues to near the load section (on the side of the restroom building)

It appears that the Fury boats are being systematically upgraded to new seats.  These new seats have handles on the head rest 

The footers for the support system of the new shade coverings in the MAMBA queue are now in place

It appears each of the three levels will have shade coverings

We hope that they will be in theme for the Egypt section of the park

They have added the official city logo for Possom Trot to the cabooses at Country Junction

Skyliner has finally opened for the season

Be warned that they will not allow any single riders

Bamboozler's facade received some damage in the recent storm

Dragon's Delights has finally opened

Don't expect an off-brand Panda Express menu though, it is mainly overpriced drinks.  Huge miss for the park as the restaurant count goes down to only 5 (Gateway Pizza, G'rilla Grill, Sand Dune Diner, Prospector's and River City Grill)

They added some decorations to this booth that was used for Grand Carnivale in the past

Spinning Dragons appears to be getting closer to opening for the season

It was testing all day, and sometimes had a human rider

Set up for the new KC Nights (which only runs on the weekends) has begun.  They are reusing the cargo container stage/bar from last year's Haunt over by the Tivoli

Booths for local brewery, Made Mobb, and clothier Charlie Hustle have been set up KC Nights

Instead of using the already established stages, they have built a new smaller one next to Gateway Pizza for KC Nights

For those wondering, Zambezi Zinger was down all day and they were working on the usual spot of the lift hill.  Seems to be issues with the drive tires yet again
