Just from the queue itself, it wasn't hard to tell this was a prototype version of the ride. At just over 10 minutes, it had the "longest" wait of the day. I was interested in seeing how the original Justice League: Battle for Metropolis compares to SFGAm's 2.0 version so it was my next stop. The sloped speed drop towards the middle of the ride was a pretty cool element, probably my favorite part of the ride. With the temperature nearing 90°, we took advantage of the non-existent line for the Log Flume and rode twice. I still don't know which I prefer, since Viper is much longer despite being less forceful, though they both sit right outside of my top 5. It had the same strong floater airtime of Viper, but was more intense. As it was my first GCI, we opted for back row. It was only running 1 train (blue), but we were still able to board in less than 10 minutes. Upon entering the park we picked up some maps and headed to American Thunder. Another thing is that the place was pretty much dead both days, with every coaster either being a station wait or a walk-on, something that would be very rare here in Chicago, but supposedly normal for St. Compared to my homepark, SFGAm, it is quite a bit smaller and has more of an old-timey feel to it. When I turned around there was noone there.After 5 years of wanting to visit, I finally hit up SFSTL this week. Out of the corner of my eye there was a older man standing amongst the clothing. I was by myself and there was noone in the building. One night I worked overnights at Wardrobe. One night a friend and I were dowing a sweep in back of the Screamin Eagle, just talking and walking the back service road, we heard pig calls and pig sounds in the distance maybe about 100 feet of us. It is said that his spirit still roams the park. Someone forced him out, as he was carted away, he placed a curse on the land. It is said that the park was the site of a pig farm and the owner refused to let them buy the park. And then there is the man called "The Pig Man". I told them wat happened, and they said I just met "Stella" the woman who died on the coaster. A supervisor asked what was wrong, I looked like a saw a ghost. I rushed out of there and turned in the keys. I decided to say it again, suddenly the "ghost light" a security light above the stage started to swing back and forth, then the temp in the auditorium dropped.
Out of nowhere a voice stated "IM HERE TIM!". One night I was shutting down "Police Academy Stunt Show" at the Empire Theatre (formally where Sid and Marty Kroffts Puppet Shows were held), I stood on the stage facing the seats stating that we were dark for the evening making sure no one was still in the building. It was revealed that she enjoyed the shows. Also in 1984, a lady was killed on the RAIL BLAZER, a stand up coaster, when it was proved that her husband pushed her out of the car when it went around a bend, her body slamming into a nearby tree. I personally have seen this spirit in the transfer house located by the mine train.
The ghost of a little girl has been seen playing in the area where the one arm was located in the former USA (now Studio section of the park). It was revealed that it was a mechanical malfunction, 2 girls and a man died. In 1978 a gondola feel from the first arm of the SkyWay. As some may know there were two fatal accidents at the park. I would like to tell you of at least THREE GHOSTS that haunt the SFSTL park. Although, this year they have put money into the pak after the bankruptcy reform.supoosedly they are some new ride changes in store for 2011 with some rides from Kentucky Kingdom was closed. I will be looking for old pics from my SFSL days, needless to say when Premeire bought the park in 1998, they let the park go to pot. I made ALOT of friends during that time frame and was considering moving down to Branson and working at SDC but the turned me away because I didnt live there long enough and they give first preferance to Branson residences.

I was a ride operator for THUNDER RIVER, THE SWINGS, GUIDED TOURS for groups, Foghorn Leghorn (I cant remember how many times I was whacked by kids and their parents), plus a troll and a haunted house actor (I actually made a guy pee his pants in front of his girlfriend). During that time we were still a "theme park" with costumed cast members. During those years it was owned by Time-Warner. I soon moved to Operations-Rides then to the Entertainment Department. I started out at the Admissions area in the entrance to the park. I worked at Six Flags STL during the years 1995-1998.
