Six Flags Question?

Lono · 05-09-2007, 08:12 AM

Ok so I'm making plans for a weekend in St. Louis with the wife. Going to a cards game on Friday night, then on Saturday she wants to go to six flags. Sounds good to me. My question is though, is the Flash Pass worth buying?

Well, here is my advice. You will need a pen and paper. All set? Ok, here goes....

STAY AWAY FROM ST. LOUIS

There is going to be an ordination of 2 new priests and they are going to be ordained in the traditional Latin rite (Pre-Vatican II) then Going to go to the Budweiser plant and then maybe the Zoo.. I will be booking my hotel Tomorrow Nite

Are priests allowed to go to the Budweiser plant?

Conception abby is real close to maryville where Northwest Missouri State is. I used to see priests all the time drinking wild turkey and water at the bars. Especially like early afternoon. They ususally scattered once the heathens like me showed up

That's great. Ordination and a brewery tour.

Depends on the crowds. If you want to skip the long lines then the flash pass is worth it. Other wise if the crowd is small and lines are not very long, don't worry about it.

The drag strip rocket sled.... goes up down backward from what I remember.

This early in the year the Flash Pass shouldn't be required.

The new spinning coaster will likely have a huge wait though.

agreed.

When I first moved to St. Louis I went to Six Flags and waited in line for 2 and a half hours to ride Mr. Freeze. I thought it was terrible. Apparently I'm in the minority though. Heck, when I first moved here 9 years ago I thought Worlds/Oceans of fun was better. They have made great improvements there, however, and I need to check it out again.
