Welcome to St Louis Union Station
Home to the newly named Wheel Park
The park originally opened with the St Louis Wheel, a giant observation wheel that soars over the Union Station canopies
In addition to the Wheel there was a Carousel and a Mini Golf course
This summer, the park began an aggressive expansion plan that saw three new Zamperla rides added to the park, along with Carnival rides and a few additional amenities.
The first ride you encounter on this new park spur is the Wave Carousel
Next is the Flying Louie, a giant rocking ship
Finally, the third ride in this new addition - and the newest roller coaster in the state of Missouri, the LOCO MOTION
The LOCO MOTION is a family spinner coaster
The front cart of the 4 car train is themed to a railroad steam engine and the other three carts are passenger coaches. The carts can free spin during the ride creating a different experience every time you ride
While the layout might be short in length, currently they are sending the train around for 3 laps
The new additions opened to the public over the Labor Day holiday and appear to be a major hit with visitors. We imagine that this area will be quite busy on days when STL City has a home game
