from the coasters I have ridden, my top 5 airtime machines are: Phoenix El Toro The Voyage Outlaw Run Nitro I rode SkyRush last year, and I don't recall much airtime other than over the last hill before the turn into the brake run and really surprised that the Voyage hasn't gotten much mention

definitely not the one at SFSTL, I have been looking at that eyesore since 1989, and its most definitely run it's course, and needs to be either updated with some new trains or remove it, I wouldn't be sorry to see it go..

Looks like in addition to my several trips to Silver dollar City this year as well as hitting Cedar Point and Six Flags Great America, I will be heading down to Dollywood next month as a extra bonus, looking forward to seeing that park again.

here are a few scans I did from my old Six Flags over Mid America (SFSTL) guide book of the "B" side of the Runaway Mine train, the best of the 2. it was sold to make room for the Ninja coaster..

^^agreed^^ I thought they would run it parallel with the Eagle, so was a little shocked when I saw the direction they decided to go.. for all we know they could have done it that way to make room for something else..maybe something big in 2014... is this wishful thinking? or am I just giving...

have to defend the coasters in the park, The Screamin Eagle is MY choice for best coaster in the park, guess because I have ridden it since its opening weekend, and its still as exciting to me as the first day I rode it, even though its been neutered to death... The Boss was rough for many...

I have been going to SFSTL since 1973 and as much as I still like our park it is getting stale. I was absolutely insanely mad to hear we were getting a 27 year old coaster, and while yes it will raise our count up, it is a Vekoma coaster, we already have the Ninja which has probably the lowest...

Re: Silver Dollar City opening weekend 3/16/13 Outlaw Run re hey! I am a new guy here, haven't had the chance to meet any of you guys (yet)... but now that I have see you guys on video I now know who is who, and will most definitely be sure to say hey the next time i see you guys at an event!

it was my first coaster experience for 2013, and I couldn't have asked for a better day for it, the sun was shining and the cold winter chill was replaced with an awesome 71 degrees. it was to be expected that the crowds would be in full swing at the park and I wasn't wrong on my assumption by a...

Personally I like this coaster, seems like it would be a nice thrilling ride, and would be a good addition to a park in preparation for a bigger one down the road. I mean even something like this would be a good addition to SFSTL rather than an old coaster..

here are a few shots of the "Comet" coaster that used to be at an old park here in St. Louis called the Highlands

no worse than my home park SFSTL boasting to be the "coaster capitol of Missouri" with the addition of Boomerang. a full tunnel will be an interesting addition to the ride, doesn't bother me either way having it or not, will just have to ride it to form a better opinion.

I am so looking forward to this coaster, its going to be incredible! maybe its because I am partial to wood coasters, but honestly this one is going to be nice. I'm surprised not everyone is hyped about this coaster, or for any of the other "changed" coasters, its taking wood coasters in a...

nice list, I have seen all 50 of them. and I agree about "Human Centipede" its not horrible vile like it is made out to be, its all hype. the movie is just stupid in my opinion, one of those "had to see it" kind of flick

I rode the one at SFSTL, the weekend ours opened, and it was cool, the second time I rode it though, I found it to be a very unnerving ride, and I was uncomfortable and scared the entire ride, I tried it once more and found I definitely didn't like it. if I had to make a choice between the Star...
