Six Flags St. Louis - Boo Fest

 

Welcome back to Six Flags St. Louis

It is officially "spooky season" at the park

During the day, the park celebrates Kids Boo Fest

A good majority of the fun can be found in Bugs Bunny National Park

*note that this area closes at 6pm when the freaks arrive*

The Bugs Bunny Train Station has been turned into Creepy Castle.

This is a "kid-friendly" haunted maze with black lights and creepy music

In the north part of Bugs Bunny National Park you can find Cornelius' Straw Maze.

This fun and not scary maze leads to a special treat from Cornelius the not-scary Scarecrow

Out the Empire Theater front landing you can find the Spooky Mooky Music Mayhem Dance Party with members of the Looney Tunes gang

Inside the Empire Theater you will find Monster Party 

This family-friendly show features a science experiment gone wrong that eventually leads to the creation of the perfect Halloween candy treat

Over by the Axis Arcade you will find the entrance to The McBoogles Hayride

On the Hayride, you will pass by show scenes and hear the story "The McBoogles Go On A Picnic"

It is a fun little ride that goes into an area of the park that is not usually seen

There's a new reason to ride the train during BooFest

There is a new Train Capers show!

Halloween Hijinks.  Hops and Hootenany are trying to steal your candy

Spooky Town Trick-or-Treat Trail can be found near the arbor tunnels in DC Circle Plaza.  Here you can collect candy and trinkets while meeting friendly characters

Mid-afternoon, the park begins to transition to the darker side and more park entertainment comes online

On the Palace front porch you can find Deadman's Party

Join the heroine as she sings to escape a nightmare dance party

Inside the Palace you will find the long-running Love at First Fright

Celebrating more than 25 seasons, this show continues to pack in the crowd

This year's cast is pretty fun and it is definitely worth watching

New this year performing on the Steampunk Pumpkins Stage is Smashing Lanterns

This talented quartet puts a creepy spin on classic rock hits

Six Flags St. Louis - Fright Fest Prep

  

Fright Fest preparations are in full swing at Six Flags.  Clowns will be located near the Log Flume

They have a little more room to work with this year since they took out a planter here

Hopefully they can really pump in the fog

The scary silo has been installed near Mr. Freeze

Appears that we have a purple people eater chair this season near the arbor tunnels

The first arbor tunnel appears to be troll themed again this year

Wheel Park

 

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
