The area that is cleared at base of The Boss is where the kther half of the Go Karts track was. One half was removed for Rookie Racer, so the other half went as well, leaving that big clearing.
Its original theme were the 6 regions of each flag (US, England, Spain, France, Illinois, Missouri). Today, that theme is Warner Brothers. That's fine and all if you like what WB is doing with superhero stuff- ie the DC stuff. It's why before the 90's rides were named for different things (Mine Train, Ninja, etc), while 90's onward were named after WB stuff- Batman, Freeze, etc. Some rides like the Buccaneer and Scrambler have been renamed for WB characters (Joker and Shazam respectively). I still call them by their original names (like Tony Hawk and Evel Knievel).
Catwoman's Whip looks fantastic. I'm glad you got to ride that. If they RMC the Boss, would it become the Evil Boss? The Bad Boss? They could have some fun with the name.
My 12yr old son & I love all the park videos!! Heck of an awesome trip! We are from St.Louis, so that’s our home park, with Silver Dollar City being a close second to us. Cheers and safe travels!!
Thank you both. This was the park we’d visit on Baptist day in the late seventies. We got out of school to go. The log flume, the screaming eagle and the mine train appear to be all that’s left. Great video. Screaming eagle was in the Guinness book for a time. Highest, fastest, longest in the world. Wow 😂
This park actually looks pretty decent. Looks like it may need a little TLC and maybe another stand out coaster but I'm intrigued enough to give it a go.
“I’ll be able to get that stain out at home with some vanish” made me laugh 😂 another fab vlog, I’m enjoying this trip so much, it feels like we’re all there with you guys 👍🏼
I think I am almost up to date with all the vlogs so far for this US Road trip. I love the positivity and honest reviews that you both give. Your videos are full of fun and great to watch. Keep the positive vibes going ❤
That's my old stomping grounds! I've not been there in some thirty years now, though. A lot of changes. But it does me heart good to see it again, and you did a lovely job showing the new stuff!
This park seems to be really stepping up their game despite the staffing shortage. I’m proud of them. Funny enough I saw a lady here in Maryland with a Six Flags St Louis shirt on yesterday.
Yeah I heard about that just didn't know it would still be closed after 3 weeks nearly. All the big gigacoasters having issues or accidents. Top Thrill Dragster shut down to cus on an accident
I haven’t been to Six Flags St. Louis since 2004 and wanted to see how the park is doing so I’m extra happy I found your vlog! 😊 Might have to go there this summer 😍
Looks a good decent theme park. Love the indoor ride, those type of attractions really appeal to me and all the better that you don't wear 3D Spectacles. Good one.
Great vlog! I'm glad that you and Charlotte had a really good time then what you did in 2019! And that new roller coaster Rookie Racer will be so much fun to ride!
You heard it here first everyone! RMC Boss 2024! I also agree that it would be great keeping a majority of the existing layout intact if/when they convert it since it's a really unique coaster. Screaming Eagle is a hidden gem that doesn't get talked about enough.
Thank you both for the awesome videos!! I’ve been binge watching all your road-trip videos and they are so entertaining! You and Charlotte seem like the nicest people. Take care from your newest subscriber! :)
Haven't gone to this park in several years at this point, so it was interesting to see how much things have changed. Aw, too bad the rapids ride is down! I got majorly SOAKED last time I was on it. There was a really LONG section (at least it felt long, haha) where the raft wouldn't spin, and guess who got every. Single. WAVE! lol. Then not too long after that there were waterfalls, which totally helped (NOT!). So yeah, you lucked out with this one, Charlotte! lol
Hi shawn and Charlotte really enjoying this trip it's been so nice watching your travels. Looks like a nice park bit lacking in places very ordinary. Thanks for sharing with us. Lots of love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
there is not one person who can describe the park's builds, reconstruction, decorations and details like you can!! everything you talk about is very interesting
I can’t even imagine how torturous an Arrow stand-up would have been. At least it had no inversions! River King was originally two separate courses, one of which was moved to Dollywood where it operated for about ten years before being moved to Magic Springs in Arkansas, where it still operates (I think).
I love B&M Inverted coasters, i think they are my favourite Roller Coaster type. I love the look of them, the sound they make and how they ride, amazing coasters
Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Six Flags St. Louis in Missouri, the 14th theme park of our USA Road Trip! In this vlog, we experience all 9 roller coasters at the park including Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast, The Boss, and many more awesome rides. We also experience some of the other fantastic rides on offer at the park, along with checking out the construction taking place on Rookie Racer, a new family roller coaster opening at the park later this year! keep the good videos coming on the channel, I can't write to see the next video on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😀👍👍
It looks like your trip is matching up to the low attendance this year at many of the Six Flags parks. Six Flags America (my home park), on the other hand, has just been the opposite. It's been the busiest I've ever seen for a non-holiday days. In fact, this past Saturday, was out of control. Normally, during a hot day you can count on Hurricane Harbor being busy, but not the dry park. Well, you can throw that rule out the window. The dry park was equally as busy!
I have not ridden The Boss but it seems like an RMC conversion would make sense for this one. It is not an old classic that really makes saving it worthwhile. And with its long length it could make an epic RMC, giving the park the stand out coaster it still needs.
The gerstlauer spinners are low-key the best spinner coasters you can experience. Shame CP didnt go for that style. And the staff at St Louis in 2023 have been fantastic! Not their decision but wish there was 2 train ops.... but when the trains were being loaded everyone was moving well and was very friendly! One of the friendliest staff Ive ever had at a park as of June 2023 I would vote The Boss gets a full GCI reprofile & GCI millennium flyers.... maybe even bring back the ending double helix? lol I will say I found screaming eagle a little rough as well but not as much as the boss. But it made me sad that the seat at the entrance has that buzzbar that would let the ride be more comfortable :p
One of the big empty spots was the former site of the Xcalibur. It was a rare Giant Evolution ride. Its a shame they got rid if it. Nobody knows if its getting relocated or sent to scrap.
We ride Ninja last thing before leaving for the day because we always get power slammed in our spine and neck and without fail EVERY TIME the seat behind us will be a 12 year old girl screaming "I hate this part" at the top of her lungs the entire ride.
The reason why Black and Red are my favorite colors is because they remind me of Phantom of the opera with the red rose and the black ribbon around the roses stem and phantom of the opera is my favorite movie, opera, and book
😂....not exactly, but it can get pretty warm there. I use to find summers hot there before I moved to FL over 20 years ago, now most cities don't feel as hot to me as before.
@@wendelcleghorn7950 yes!! I live on a barrier island on the east/southeast coast of Florida and my brother lives in Chicago. He use to joke saying how it's hotter in Chicago than where I live on a summer day. I said okay, but when you visit me, the 88° by me will be the hottest 88° you have ever felt😂...so he visited and he had to collect himself a few times when he first arrived and couldn't believe it never really cooled off at night too😂😂😂
You caught me out then when talking about what PTC stands for. Philadelphia Toboggan Comp… Coasters? 😲 I had to do some research? It was Philadelphia Toboggan Company until 2007 when Tom Rebbie became sole owner and changed the name to Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc (PTCI). Thought it was the Mandela Effect or I was going mad 😅
Your day at SFSL makes me think it could be worth a visit, but, as we can only travel in August, the other comments suggest it wouldn’t be the best choice. Do love the look of Mr Freeze though.
Boss with Titan Track and Infinity Flyers would be nice for the Boss, even if its just the high stress areas. However, an RMC boss would make for a standout attraction
I love the video . I just wanted to tell you that when I was at alton towers I asked why the Rita launch was different to stealth and he told me the difference and that they want to change Ritas launch by 2030 which is quite exiting 👌👌
Ninja was actually originally built by Arrow, but they went bankrupt during the project so Vekoma finished the coaster for them. I don’t hate this ride, though that sidewinder is an awful element.
Don't get your hopes up too high 😉 if they visit the one in New Jersey or Maryland they have both become just horrible parks... Not taken care of at all.
They should do the Gravity Group retract to the Boss. You will see, it’s made Grizzly at Kings Dominion so much better. I liked Grizzly before, but the 2/3rds that have been done feel great.
Petition for hollister to sponsor the channel 🤣🤣
I can’t believe they don’t wear there own merch when in parks. Missing out on some serious advertising.
I’m pooping
@@Gmh6477i agree, never see them in tpw shirts its a missed oppertunity 😊
@@Gmh6477probs coz he don’t need too
Love these trips with charlotte. You can tell how much she loves you and how much she wants to be involved in your world and interests.
I think she loves coasters as well, but I agree, Charlotte is a ray of sunshine.
Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you guys had an awesome time at my home park. Six flags St. Louis is very underrated
The worst thing about six flags st Louis is that it's a six flags park.
I hope to go soon
For good reason , it’s very average
We had a fun day!

I'm having so much fun...every park has been a delight so far...thank you Shawn and Charlotte!🌈
Thanks for joining us!
Catwoman's Whip looks fantastic. I'm glad you got to ride that. If they RMC the Boss, would it become the Evil Boss? The Bad Boss? They could have some fun with the name.
It’s a great ride!
It’s freezing cold here In Sydney, having a glass of wine enjoying your vlog. Brings back memories of visiting Six Flags St Louis in 2005.
How cold is freezing in Australia ???
Ha ha it was probably around 8 degrees Celsius. It was cold for us.
I love how positive you guys stay no matter what happens! If there is something negative you say, you always come back around with something positive!
My 12yr old son & I love all the park videos!!
Heck of an awesome trip! We are from St.Louis, so that’s our home park, with Silver Dollar City being a close second to us.
Cheers and safe travels!!
Thanks for watching!
Good to see you all had a great day at my home away from home. I couldn’t agree more about Screamin’ Eagle! It is a gem!
It’s a great wooden coaster!

It’s great fun!
Can't wait for the Holiday World vlog!
It’s now online!

The clearing around the Boss's queue is from the former Go-Cart track that was recently removed.
29:15 Supergirl Skyflyer is a Zamperla Endeavour which is the modern day version of a Huss Enterprise.
octopus hats 🤣🤣🤣 looks more like a squid 😂
This park seems to be really stepping up their game despite the staffing shortage. I’m proud of them.
Funny enough I saw a lady here in Maryland with a Six Flags St Louis shirt on yesterday.
We had a good day!
You started with my 2 favorite rides in th park.
17:33 Loved the eagle theme coaster at Six Flags St. Louis.
Loving the USA tour theme park reviews. Always get excited to watch them😂I hope you are visiting Six Flags Great Adventure for Kingda Ka!!
They are going to Great Adventure but Kingda Ka is SBNO (standing but not operating) so they won't be able to ride it.
Yeah I heard about that just didn't know it would still be closed after 3 weeks nearly. All the big gigacoasters having issues or accidents. Top Thrill Dragster shut down to cus on an accident
Thank you! We are however Kingda Ka is currently closed!
@ThemeParkWorldwide very unfortunate I expected them to have resolved the issue by now
Elmo n the spice girls 😂😂 classic shawn
Love it!
I haven’t been to Six Flags St. Louis since 2004 and wanted to see how the park is doing so I’m extra happy I found your vlog! 😊 Might have to go there this summer 😍
Looks a good decent theme park. Love the indoor ride, those type of attractions really appeal to me and all the better that you don't wear 3D Spectacles. Good one.
I found it funny when Charlotte screamed on the ride at 39:22
Great vlog! I'm glad that you and Charlotte had a really good time then what you did in 2019! And that new roller coaster Rookie Racer will be so much fun to ride!
It was a good fun day!

Hi shawn and Charlotte really enjoying this trip it's been so nice watching your travels. Looks like a nice park bit lacking in places very ordinary. Thanks for sharing with us. Lots of love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Thank you!
Clocking up the miles 😎👌👏
Oh yes!
Launch sequence activated arms down head back and hold on is my best part before the launch but it was fun
there is not one person who can describe the park's builds, reconstruction, decorations and details like you can!! everything you talk about is very interesting
Thank you!
Very nostalgic seeing this vlog; got family ties to St Louis and loved Mr Freeze!
Another quality upload
Just love how six flags just slaps a DC character name on any old ride with very little thought to the character trait.
These videos are incredibly relaxing - and are giving me some great ideas for holidays. Much appreciated!
Thank you!
These videos are so entertaining glad you two are enjoying yourselves
Thank you!
Good morning have fun u guys
Great video guys as usual. Thank you so much. Would love to visit one day.
Fun fact the river king mine train operated as a stand up coaster for 1 year!
I can’t even imagine how torturous an Arrow stand-up would have been. At least it had no inversions! River King was originally two separate courses, one of which was moved to Dollywood where it operated for about ten years before being moved to Magic Springs in Arkansas, where it still operates (I think).
@@bizjet as Big bad John.
Was it even a full season? I thought they cloesed it down after the accident.
@@BlueJeanBaby ,you are correct.
I bet that was crazy!
Batman’s new name “Stain the Ride” lol 😂 oh and they are not Octopuses 🐙 they are Squids 🦑
They said octopus on the label!
I love B&M Inverted coasters, i think they are my favourite Roller Coaster type. I love the look of them, the sound they make and how they ride, amazing coasters
They are great rides!
Very fitting again since I’m going here today
Awesome Video Guys
It only got released 15 mins ago how have you watched all 46 mins 😂😂😂
Fun fact, Ninja was actually built by Arrow but they went bankrupt and Vekoma took over the build
If they do RMC the Boss they should call it Final Boss.
Pop to a shop and get some washing up liquid for the grease on your clothes! Massage it in and rinse out! Has worked wonders for me before

Have a great time!
So glad you guys had such a good day can’t wait to see your next park too im having a blast watching you stay safe & keep having fun ❤ Lisa

The anti climax of Colossus being a relaxing ferris wheel 😂
HAHAHA, I love the Spice Girls Boomerang lyrics. Brilliant!
Thank you 🤣
Black and Red are my favorite colors
Must be so hot I feel sorry for but all the more reasons to get on some water rides.....😅
I have not ridden The Boss but it seems like an RMC conversion would make sense for this one. It is not an old classic that really makes saving it worthwhile. And with its long length it could make an epic RMC, giving the park the stand out coaster it still needs.

I’d love to see a GCI retrack of Boss!
One of the big empty spots was the former site of the Xcalibur. It was a rare Giant Evolution ride. Its a shame they got rid if it. Nobody knows if its getting relocated or sent to scrap.
I'm putting my money on scrap, since it was the last of its kind and had all sort of maintenance issues the last couple years it was open
27:49 a guys neck was very hairy😂😂 😂

St Louis may be one of the hottest cities on earth.

Try Phoenix or Las Vegas
The humidity is nuts.

We're planning on going to get the credits tomorrow. Mr Freeze will be my 80th coaster!
Much needed water rides in that heat
Your day at SFSL makes me think it could be worth a visit, but, as we can only travel in August, the other comments suggest it wouldn’t be the best choice. Do love the look of Mr Freeze though.
I went on the Boomerang ride it was really fun.
Lol that 5,4,3,2,1 was the most unenthusiastic countdown ever
So,when you get home,and film your trip summary video,if Charlotte's not wearing an octopus hat we will be very disappointed 🐙
Nice!
Boss with Titan Track and Infinity Flyers would be nice for the Boss, even if its just the high stress areas. However, an RMC boss would make for a standout attraction
That would be great!
I swear Last Christmas by Wham was playing while they were on Ninja?
It’s summer ☀️
I wish I was there when you guys were. I was at a different park
Can’t believe the Batman ride got oil on you😅
I love the video . I just wanted to tell you that when I was at alton towers I asked why the Rita launch was different to stealth and he told me the difference and that they want to change Ritas launch by 2030 which is quite exiting 👌👌
I can see all of the accelerators having conversions in the coming years
Ninja was built by arrow and finished by Vekoma
Ninja replaced the JetScream
Me and My bestfriend will be going here soon so were getting hyped
The steam train is down until the new coaster is finished
SF StL used to be packed 20 years ago or so.
Ninja was actually originally built by Arrow, but they went bankrupt during the project so Vekoma finished the coaster for them. I don’t hate this ride, though that sidewinder is an awful element.
Thanks for sharing!
This trip so far has proved six flags operations have improved since 2019 at least in the parks they visited so far lol
Don't get your hopes up too high 😉 if they visit the one in New Jersey or Maryland they have both become just horrible parks... Not taken care of at all.
They definitely have!
The black hole 🕳️ 35:11 - 35:14
You should come down for our fright fest some time
Shaun when you can’t get a pov on ride please try to add in available povs...I really liked that added extra in the recent videos
Unfortunately the official POV’s for here were very poor quality
They r squid head hats, not octopus. U can tell by the pointed head with fins on the side. An octopus doesn't have that 😂
My home park
They should do the Gravity Group retract to the Boss. You will see, it’s made Grizzly at Kings Dominion so much better. I liked Grizzly before, but the 2/3rds that have been done feel great.
That would be great!
Get a spibelt and if it doesn’t fit in the pouch leave it in the car. Travel light then you won’t need a locker. 😂
When filming vlogs we need to take our camera equipment with us!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide yea that makes sense.
yay shaun did his micky mouse impression
I think its more like a sqid hat than an octopus 😊😊
