Mystic River Falls (SDC)

The park released a video today showing that the rapids of the Mystic River are now officially testing.  These are some still screen shots from that video

I really like the looks of all of the water features interacting with the main trough

Looks like you might get wet from those falls as you pass by

We cannot wait to see this first hand.  The park opens for Spring Break late March, but the ride is not scheduled to open until Summer.

Park Update (SFSTL)

Six Flags St. Louis recently released an overhead photo of the ongoing construction work happening at the main entrance area.  The old ticketing booths have been completely removed as well as most of the pavement.  A new fountain has been built outside of the entry gates.  New ticketing and security areas will be built in the next few weeks.  This is a much needed upgrade and we cannot wait to see the finished results.

Riptide Raceway (OOF)

The park just released this photo today showing all of the new slide pieces have arrived for the soon be longest mat racing slide in the world.

The park released this image of Mystic River Falls today.  Here you can see the queue building directly ahead and where the final drop (the tall part) will pass through.  On the right you can see the load building and the walkway where you will enter the queue.  The path on the left will be for Trailblazer

Riptide Raceway (OOF)

The park is making quick work of deconstructing Diamond Head.  In this park released photo you can see that only a few pieces of slide remain standing.

Diamondhead is finally being torn out to prepare for the construction of the new Riptide Raceway as seen in this photo released by the park

New Years Eve (SFSTL)

It's the last blast of the season at Six Flags St. Louis.  Everyone is packing the Batman Plaza area for the countdown to the New Year

This place is packed.

Happy New Year - it's firework time!!!

It's been a great season of thrills -- we'll see you in 2020

Park Update (SFSTL)

While Xcalibur never opened this season, it made a lot of progress towards the end

Official word from the park is that it will be back and operating next season, which is awesome as it has been SBNO for almost two entire seasons now

While Xcalibur is making a comeback, Tidal Wave was not as lucky.  A new sign has been posted stating that the news of Tidal Wave's demise is true.

They didn't waste any time ripping it out either.

Also, get used to seeing this big white wall for awhile.  Currently there are no plans to put a new attraction here any time soon.

They even tore out the load building and the queue line and entrance.  While it was impossible to get a photo of the area from the ground.  SkyScreamer provided views of the area and it is completely flat now.  Nothing is left.

The lift and turn of Tidal Wave should be in this photo.  It is crazy to see this area so vacant.
