    Six Flags needs to train their workers better.
    I usually love Six Flags, but they need to get some things together. We pay for a Diamond Elite membership and it was such a confusing process. We made reservations online as directed and when we got to the car entrance the lady working the booth argued with us that we only had a parking pass and not a reservation. I told her it was on the printout after the parking pass on the next page that I handed her. She continued to argue with us when our additional papers clearly stated reservation confirmation for our party. Another worker came over and proceeded to show her on the additional page after the parking pass what we had stated all along to her that those were reservations. She simply said oh, but never apologized. We finally got into the entrance to go to member services to pick up our member badges, and the lady working the window never told us where to get our member cups our how to get our perks with our membership. I went to a drink booth to see if they had our member cups and they told us we have to get member cups a ridiculous walk away on the otherside of the park, but everyone else can purchase theirs at any booth except members??? Why not just give them out at member services? They don't even fill your drink cups anymore because of the pandemic, so you're left wagging around empty cups because they just won't let you show your Elite badge to get a drink, you have to show them a stupid empty drink bottle to get a paper cup with your drink in it instead. We finally found someone to explain the skip a line process after asking numerous people, but it was late in the day and the flash pass process was closed. So the next day of our trip at the park, I got our skip a lines vouchers, but no one was working the flash pass entrance so I took it to the ride operator and he said we would have to just go through the line again if no one was working the pass line. I said why are they selling flash passes or skip a lines with no one operating flash pass lines? The food was ok at best. We ate at Primo's at Hurricane Harbor and the marina for the cheese sticks was literally not marinara, but just plain tomato sauce. The margaritas at the booth that served drinks does not have salt for the margaritas. Cowabunga Burgers told us they don't have pickles for burgers or salt packs for fries. I had to ask them for napkins at every booth and forks for salads. We pay almost $80 a month for a Diamond Elite membership for our family, and it's ridiculous that they don't explain anything to you about how to utilize your perks in the park without asking 10 people till you find the one out of 10 that actually knows how to help you.

    Impressed on all accounts
    When I went into this park, I wasn't expecting much. I'd heard less positive about it than most major amusement locations. Immediately upon entry, I found the parking lot a little run-down, but very convenient. We walked right up and into the park and found ourselves presented by a pretty entrance with roller coasters roaring all around. The attendants were all friendly, and when we made our way to Mr. Freeze, the line wasn't insane. It took about half an hour to get on, and even though the ride was running a single train, the attendants were doing a fantastic job checking restraints and keeping the line moving. The ride blew me away (no pun intended.) Similar experiences occurred when riding The Boss, Screamin Eagle, and the other roller coasters. At every turn, employees were working hard to do their jobs well. My only disappointment was the lack of functioning water fountains, but when I purchased a drink, the attendant was extremely fast and friendly. 10/10 for him. Another aspect that impressed me was the clientele of the park. Maybe St. Louis has a cool, collected vibe all about it, but everyone in lines were behaving themselves despite the fact they were mostly teenagers and kids. To be fair, I should include my singular complaint about the park which was that it could have looked much nicer. You can tell there was a ton of work put into making the park beautiful at one point in time, but it's fallen heavily to the wayside. Some areas are still very nice, but others are downright unpleasant to the eye. That being said, I'd much rather have stellar park attendants than a visually stunning landscape, and the park was still very, very clean and free of garbage. If my experience at Six Flags St. Louis is at all typical, I'd recommend the park to everyone who loves thrill rides or just needs to kill a day in the St. Louis area. Thank you, Six Flags, for giving me an amazing day!

    Family time & great memories
    after all of these years six flags st. louis is still a fun place to go and enjoy some time with your family. No they don't have all of the rides I grew up enjoying but still have some great old ones and newer ones as well. The only thing is I think they should bring back concerts and stay open later on the weekends. Closing at 7pm any night of the week is rather early. Oh and we have Memberships and that's the way to go if you plan on visiting multiple times over the summer for 20.00 a month per person it covers our entrance fee and our dining pass so if you go at least once a month that's a great deal. my boys and I really enjoy the park and making memories together.

    Stale and tired
    Being a local, and one that actually travels outside STL to other places, including amusement parks, I can say that our Six Flags has grown tiresome and worn, and lacks any sort creativity. This park is known for bearing the brunt of the company’s cheapness, which will probably get worse after COVID-19. The ferris wheel, Superman tower, the mechanically plagued Xcalibur, and 2 dated and painful coasters, Ninja and Boomerang, were all unwanted and/or hand me downs from other parks. The Boomerang, which derailed in recent years, was advertised as new, despite being built in 1989 in TX. Ninja , due to low ridership, had upcharge VR glasses slapped on it and was advertised as a new coaster. Imagine how people felt when they got to the park and realized it was the same thing they’ve been riding for 30 years. The American Thunder is probably the best ride there these days, but it was the last coaster built,and that was 12 years ago. 3 of the other coasters, Mr. Freeze, Batman, and Pandemonium(Tony Hawk) are clones from numerous other Six Flags parks, as is the Justice League and Fireball. I get many locals won’t know or care, but as I said , no creativity at all. Holiday World and Silver Dollar City are more successful because they understand that. The park has made sure to keep some aged relics, like the Log Flume and Mine Train, both going on 50 years. Oh, and I haven’t ridden the Boss in maybe 15 years...? I have ridden wood coasters from Colorado to Pennsylvania, and none are as painful to me. But instead of remaking it into a modern steel coaster that most parks have done with their rough, labor intensive wood coasters, they simply lopped off the final helix and called it good. I give up. I have nothing personal against this park. It was the first one I knew as a child. But I feel the company takes advantage of the STL area and that it’s all simply “good enough” and that there is no expectation of quality in the park’s entertainment offerings. The half hearted effort is spent standing still. If you are visiting STL from out of town and have limited time, I can’t suggest you spend time or money here unfortunately. They don’t deserve it. Go up in the arch, go to the zoo(free) come over to see Monk’s Mound in IL. If you are local then I’m probably preaching to the choir.

    Frustrated
    I would like for management to contact me. Three attempts and talk to two human beings and got nowhere. The first one said she had to contact her manager and never got back with me. So I left another message and received a phone call from an employee that should not have the position she has because she doesn't know what she's doing and her attitude was very mean and hateful. I hope those conversations are recorded so you can see what I experienced with that employee. I can promise you one thing she's probably not going to contact me about the refund on the three orange cups" will she" We purchased 10 or 12 season passes for family ...2 of those individuals could not use those passes due to their weight. We made three attempts for them to ride rides but unfortunately did you awake it was not possible. Trying to get a refund for their season passes since they are not able to ride the rides became very frustrating. And to be talked to by one of their employees I literally wanted to climb through that phone. Instead I hung up. Do not buy their orange cup or any drink because when you go back for refill they are out of it. No carbon, the water smell like chlorine and even tasted like chlorine $90 for three cups refillable we couldn't even get one drink. Don't waste your money. We learned a very valuable lesson Six Flags you do not care. You want our money and then you wash your hands of your customers. Enjoy we will not be back Season pass did you know that you have free parking. We were charged another $90 worth of charges when we should have received free parking no one told us this. Two season passes we couldn't use because of their weight three orange cups and could not get refills $90 worth of charges for parking when it should have been free. A little upset do the math almost $400 of charges that we could not use and trying to get a refund is more frustrating than it's worth

    Good and Bad. Overall, a good time and so much FUN!
    I would recommend not bringing a big group of people because they will hold you back from riding the rides that you want. The worker didn’t help when a young girl was trying to figure out how to use a card because they DONT ACCEPT CASH which is bizarre to me. People who aren’t aware that you can only use cards bring cash in to use but you have to convert it to a card in a certain machine. The machine is not easy to find. Me and my group didn’t realize we had to use cards which was annoying and they were all dehydrated and felt like passing out. They threw up from the heat and not having anything to drink because they couldn’t find the machine. The food and drinks are way overpriced for what they are. At McDonalds, you get a big soda for a little more than a dollar but here, it is a smaller amount for a much larger price. But overall, the rides are fun, thrilling, and I would definitely go again. This time I will be more prepared because I now know that you can only use a card. I also would like to mention that Screamin’ Eagle is a very rough ride and it is jerky. I felt unsafe on it and was so excited for it to be over. I would never go on it again. I loved most of the other rides though and I will be back! Hopefully next time I will have a better experience. Being at the park was a happy setting other than my friends feeling bad the whole time. I personally felt just fine. I’m really not trying to make Six Flags seem bad! It’s just that you have to be prepared or your day will not go so smooth. I just wanted to point out some tips before you go!

    Wonderful day filled with lots of fun!
    My family and I went to Six Flags this week and had an excellent time. Sure, some of the rides were not operating but we suspect that's because of staff shortages. We went on a very pleasant day with mild temperatures and we were shocked not many people were in the park. For most of the day we did not have to stand in any lines which was awesome. The park could use a spruce up and we were very disappointed that the Moon Cars had been retired!!! Six Flags recommends masks when indoors but hardly anyone other than my family were wearing them. Our only real complaint is the price of food. We ordered 4 slices of pizza (each came with 2 garlic knots) and 4 drinks and we paid $88! We knew this would be the case so we weren't too shocked but the meal plan would have likely been more economical. All and all an excellent day at Six Flags- highly recommend.

    Fun day for all
    My husband and I went with our two daughters and son-in-laws along with five children ages 2-9 years old. We all had a great time. We purchased one day tickets with no meal plans for a weekday visit. We got there right when they opened and started rides. We ate lunch in the park, which didn't take to long to order and get our food, and then had ice cream on the way out. The parks hours are shorter than I remember but many places are doing that now days. In the children's area of the park there were two rides that were doing "shared operator" meaning that they didn't each have their own operator (meaning not enough workers) but they were quick to go between so the kids didn't really wait to long. That was the only place we encounter the shared operator. A few rides were closed for updating or whatever, except the Moon Cars are gone for good which was disappointing to the younger kids who wanted to drive. However, there was still plenty for them all to do. The older kids loved all the roller coasters and rode them many times. Everyone enjoyed the Log Flume, Thunder River, Ferris wheel and train we all did them several times. The crowd wasn't bad meaning lines weren't bad and we liked that we didn't have to wear masks. There was sanitizer out all over the park however some jugs were empty but we found enough stations so we felt safe. The park was very clean on our visit and just a fun day for all of us.

    Awful
    This park is a severe disappoinment and a shell of it's former self. We went for a quick Friday night visit. As season pass holders that live locally we can come and go when we see it's not busy. We hadn't been to six flags for 10 years prior to 2020 due to working there for 7 seasons and seeing the park not improve. We returned after recieving passes last fall for a gift after now having two young kids. When we went at Christmas time we were excited to see improvements, but there were none. Past the upper tracks was closed which is where most of the new rides are. At Christmas they were very slow so we went and let our older child ride some rides then leave. We went back for our first visit this season on 4/16/2031. It was again not busy and we were excited for our boys to ride all the rides. We went by the moon cars first and noticed they were closed after nearly 50 years we then rode shazam loved it. We then headed to the north section of the park where the newer rides are that we couldn't see last winter. The new rides seem great. The tall swings were closed but the other two rides were open and people loved them. We noticed the old papa john's was perfectly closed. Screaming eagle was shut down. On down past another closed restraunt and we get to bugs bunny national park. They had the ship and small train open. That was it. A dozen rides our boys can ride and 2 were open. Only rockets, the old villains were open outside of the front mall eateries. Tucks is the only good place north of the palace and arbors to eat. No food carts. Nothing. Big let down for two former food service employees. We probably won't be back until we can enjoy the wave pool this summer. We hope it's open. I used to say this is a cheap carnival that doesn't move and it proved itself true even more so in 2021 than when I stopped working there in 2010. Sad to see a place I loved so much be so lackluster. I would recommend driving to silver dollar city or kansas city if looking for a fun weekend at a theme park. Skip this place until they get it together.

    Covid Era upgrades- faster entry and very clean
    We have been many times before but this is our first Covid Era visit. You have to wear a mask but there are designated areas to sit without them. They sell branded ones at front entrance. Getting in requires reservation but it was the fastest we have ever experienced. For them to take your temperature you walk through and air conditioned tent and it shows on TV screen( it was non invasive and very fast.) Because lines are spaced apart you feel like you move fast. They clean all the rides between riders so it takes a little while but since the occupancy is lower it is still faster than usual. Not all guests kept the masks on but all the workers did. Some of the Covid upgrades where wonderful. It was so clean and much faster parking and getting in. There are mobile hand washing stations and ant-bac EVERYWHERE! The kid’s playground was closed.

We hadn't been to six flags for 10 years prior to 2020 due to working there for 7 seasons and seeing the park not improve. We returned after recieving passes last fall for a gift after now having two young kids. When we went at Christmas time we were excited to see improvements, but there were none. Past the upper tracks was closed which is where most of the new rides are. At Christmas they were very slow so we went and let our older child ride some rides then leave. We went back for our first visit this season on 4/16/2031. It was again not busy and we were excited for our boys to ride all the rides. We went by the moon cars first and noticed they were closed after nearly 50 years we then rode shazam loved it. We then headed to the north section of the park where the newer rides are that we couldn't see last winter. The new rides seem great. The tall swings were closed but the other two rides were open and people loved them. We noticed the old papa john's was perfectly closed. Screaming eagle was shut down. On down past another closed restraunt and we get to bugs bunny national park. They had the ship and small train open. That was it. A dozen rides our boys can ride and 2 were open. Only rockets, the old villains were open outside of the front mall eateries. Tucks is the only good place north of the palace and arbors to eat. No food carts. Nothing. Big let down for two former food service employees. We probably won't be back until we can enjoy the wave pool this summer. We hope it's open. I used to say this is a cheap carnival that doesn't move and it proved itself true even more so in 2021 than when I stopped working there in 2010. Sad to see a place I loved so much be so lackluster. I would recommend driving to silver dollar city or kansas city if looking for a fun weekend at a theme park. Skip this place until they get it together.

We have been many times before but this is our first Covid Era visit. You have to wear a mask but there are designated areas to sit without them. They sell branded ones at front entrance. Getting in requires reservation but it was the fastest we have ever experienced. For them to take your temperature you walk through and air conditioned tent and it shows on TV screen( it was non invasive and very fast.) Because lines are spaced apart you feel like you move fast. They clean all the rides between riders so it takes a little while but since the occupancy is lower it is still faster than usual. Not all guests kept the masks on but all the workers did. Some of the Covid upgrades where wonderful. It was so clean and much faster parking and getting in. There are mobile hand washing stations and ant-bac EVERYWHERE! The kid’s playground was closed.

Bathroom were dirty and out of toilet paper.
Food area untrained and understaffed.
Long wait time for food or drink standing in line for 1 hour and 15 minutes for a drink.
Went on Sunday so there would be less people but service was so poor spend more time in lines.
No lighting in the locker rental area had to use cell phone light to find locker. Someone could have fallen in the dark huge liability.
Oh and they don’t take cash only one cash exchange machine at the front gate. Should have one in every gift shop. If you require a card at least make it easy on you customers unless you don’t want them to come back.
Management has no clue on how to run a smooth operation. Small changes could have made a big difference in everyone’s visit.

Well Six Flags St. Louis got a new CEO, and he has decided that the way to improve things is to make the park as low a value and as miserable an experience as possible.

Our Diamond VIP memberships are a gigantic waste of money. No matter, they killed the membership plan so now it's just about gutting the existing grandfathered membership services until everyone who has them gives up. Or they just cancel them too.

Opening Weekend at Hurricane Harbor and HALF the water park is closed. The only thing open is the new kiddie pool area, a WAVELESS wave pool and one slide attraction. I can find better at local parks. Some nearly $300 for a VIP cabana, where they even cut having drinks (like bottled water)... just a discount now. Even though, on the web site, the standard Cabana does have that. It's random insanity.

Things are often broken or in the process of breaking down. There isn't enough staff. Guest service booths are shuttered (who cares about guests)?

Some bean counter (i.e. the new CEO) has decided that, on paper at least, this makes a lot of financial sense. Pissing off your highest dollar guests, to him, makes sense. Making it so we never want to come back, to him, makes sense.

This will continue until his vision, such as it is, either works or is a colossal disaster and they fire this half-baked turn-around artist for someone who's at least played a few rounds of Roller Coaster Tycoon. And done well at it.

We just returned from a day at Six Flags St. Louis. It was a great day! I practically grew up at this park back in the 80s and early 90s. Many of the rides that were there then are still there today. Many changes have been made as well, but all the classic rides have not been replaced with something else. Other amusement parks tear down the classic rides and replace them with new ones that may actually not be such a good thing in the end.

After a move out of state in the early 90s, I hadn't been back since 2002 on a summertime visit to STL. And now we've moved back to the St. Louis area so it was a first time visit for my wife and 3 boys.

As I peruse the below reviews, I don't know why there are really negative reviews. We found the park to be very clean, the ride operators were having fun doing their job, all while maintaining the level of safety and common sense at the rides, and we saw plenty of security personnel walking around as well.

Yes, food prices are quite pricey. But, given the supply chain and demand issues, what ISN'T pricey these days? Oh yeah, the 1-day admission fee if you buy online!

We can tell they are short-staffed and doing the absolute best they can to make sure people get as many rides as they possibly can. The biggest ride that was closed on the day we went was Thunder River. While disappointing, I would much rather see that one closed due to short staffing than one of the major rollercoasters. Thankfully, all of the major rides were going on this day and the crowds were light so standing in lines was very minimal and there were times we walked right up to the loading gate and got on the coaster right away.

In my family, we now have a new generation of Screamin' Eagle riders! I told my 13 year old, who rode the Eagle for the first time today, that my parents (his grandparents) also rode Screamin' Eagle when they were much younger. So glad they've held on to a classic coaster for this long and no plans to replace it anytime soon. It is still the classic coaster and while bumpy (what else can you expect from a wooden 46 year old coaster) it doesn't bump around all that bad and it's still the same as it's always been!

Overall, we had a very good time! It was great being back at a park I made so many memories at as a kid and overall the place is in very good shape with very minimal signs of age and those are all minor. You wouldn't think that with some of the below reviews. Ignore them. The park is in very good shape, clean, safe, and still a great place to come and enjoy the day with your family.
