Park News - (11/2/09) New pictures from Fright Fest at SFSL have been added to Negative-G.
    (10/26/09) In case anyone was wondering, the Twisted Twins trains are still at SFSL, and are said now be sitting in an area under Batman’s brake run.
    (9/21/09) Six Flags. St. Louis has announced that starting this past weekend, they have upgraded their FlashPass system to the new version of the Q-Bot that allows you to reserve your ride reservations remotely on the Q-Bot instead of walking all the way to the attraction itself and scanning in.
    (8/3/09) A local news report on Six Flags St. Louis reports that attendance at the park is “way up” for the season, helped possibly by the more mild summer weather.
    (8/1/09) In a kind of strange move, it has been reported that Six Flags St. Louis received another odd delivery from Kentucky Kingdom. In this case, the drop cars from SFKK’s infamous Superman drop tower (Formerly: Hellivator), have been delivered. We can only assume that the cars will be used for spare parts. Just don’t use those old cables... ok?
    (7/16/09) Pictures from the park’s Daredevil Days event can be seen posted to Negative-G.
    (7/6/09) Screamscape sources tell us that they believe the new Gerstlauer trains from SFKK may have been brought to the park as replacements units for The Screamin’ Eagle coaster which is due for a major rehab over this coming off-season.
    (7/5/09) Look what new present (see sidebar) the corporate HQ sent to SFSL for July 4th... two new “used” Gerstlauer trains taken from Twisted Twins at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom which has been sitting closed at that park for the last two seasons. I can only assume they may be getting ready to either rehab them for use on The Boss or to just simply scrap them for spare parts. It’s kind of strange that SFSL has become the dumping ground for unwanted Gerstlauer wood coaster trains as last year they received (and scrapped for parts) the trains from Six Flags New Orleans’ Mega Zeph coaster as well.
    (6/19/09) The park suffered a power outage earlier this week at about 9pm that left some rides stranded for up to an hour before they could be evacuated. The ride that took the most time to clear was the Colossus Ferris Wheel.
    (6/9/09) Details about Dare Devil Days taking place at Six Flags St. Louis on Saturday June 27th can be found here.
    (4/10/09) A bunch of new pictures of Six Flags St. Louis have been posted by SFSTL.net and can be seen here.
    (4/7/09) Negative-G has posted some new pictures from the opening weekend of Six Flags St. Louis. Apparently the park had a bit of a rough first day when it had to be cancelled due to bad weather. By the time it opened on Sunday there was still some snow on the ground. One of our own readers was there and took some pictures (see sidebar) of the park to share with everyone as well, so enjoy.
    (3/19/09) A local source tell us that Colossus, the giant wheel at Six Flags St. Louis will be getting a new lighting package this season, probably similar in nature to the one being installed on the wheel at SFGAdv. 
    (3/10/09) A website that focuses in on current and previous employees called SixFlagsStLouis.net has posted a few pictures showing off the construction of the new Wahoo Racer slide as well as more pictures of the newly repainted Mr. Freeze.
    (3/9/09) A reader has sent in a few cell phone pictures (see sidebar) of the newly repainted Mr. Freeze which are a little blurry, but the best up-close shots we’ve seen so far.
    (2/11/09) I’ve been sent a small update about the latest happenings at Six Flags St. Louis. The repainting of Mr. Freeze is finished and not only did they fix up the ride itself but also repainted the outside and inside of the ride building as well as the queue line areas. The Boss is also getting tracked in numerous areas this year, Shazaam is getting repainted and I’ve heard that the Wahoo Racer slide will be going up in a couple of weeks. While we’re talking about the waterpark, know that Hurricane Jane’s food court will be transformed to include Johnny Rockets, Papa John’s and a Cold Stone Creamery.  As for the entertainment side of things this year, the year should be good as the park will be offering a number of shows this season such as Dance Dance Revolution Challenge, a Karaoke show, The Kryptonites, Looney Tunes Talent Show, Rockin’ Country, Show Stoppin’ and The Best of Dick Clark
    (12/11/08) I’ve been told that the Slingshot upcharge attraction has been removed from the park, and is going to another Six Flags parks in 2009 (SFNE). In other news, locals can look forward to spending more time at the park in 2009 than before, mostly due to the addition of the Glow In The Park Parade, that will put later closing times in effect for the park all summer. Currently the rumored schedule is 10pm closings on most nights, and 11pm on Saturday nights to start with. I’ve also been told to keep an eye on Boss and Screamin’ Eagle as both are expected to get a fair amount of re-tracking done over the off-season.
    (10/29/08) As a follow up to the rumors that the Tidal Wave may be on the way out we’ve heard that some serious activity has been going on at the ride. At first glace it almost looks like some of the ride’s control systems are being removed, though this could be a step towards an overhaul as well. We’ve also been told that it looks like some of the lift systems have also been removed. Given just how many of these rides have been removed from other Six Flags parks over the last year, this doesn’t bode well for the future of this ride.

2009 - Wahoo Racer and Glow In The Park Parade - (4/15/09) A reader sent in a shot of the new Wahoo Racer slide, which looks like it’s nearly ready for action.
    (9/15/08) Six Flags St. Louis has announced that they will be getting the $2.5 million Glow In The Park Parade, opening Memorial Day Weekend 2009.You can catch a good video full of parade footage on the SFOT website. Meanwhile Hurricane Harbor will also add Wahoo Racer, a new six lane head-first speed slide from Proslide.

2010 - New Water Ride - Rumor - (9/8/08) While it’s always hard to judge what is going to happen this far in advance, I’ve heard that the park may already be talking about removing the Tidal Wave ride at some point to make way for a new attraction in 2010. From the sound of things, this could end up being the same kind of Splash Battle attraction that is currently going into Six Flags Great America in 2009. Stay tuned!
