St. Louis or surrounding area residents (Six Flags Reviews)

Hello,
I am in the planning stages of trying to find some place fun and not too far to take my niece and nephew (9 & 11 yrs old) in May during our family reunion over the Memorial Day holiday.  I was looking into Six Flags.  I have only been to the one in Texas when younger.  However, on the website, the reviews are somewhat scary.  So, I would like anyone elses reviews as to the park.  I will greatly appreciate your responses.

Thanks and God Bless!

NProgress,

Although, I am a native St. Louisan, I have only been to Six Flags a handful of times in my 31 years.  Alot of my family goes quite a bit and I will be going in July when my family reunion takes place. I haven't heard alot of horrific things regarding it, though.  Just the usual, like kids being ghetto, but these days you will find that practically everywhere.  Perhaps, Stacee, will chime in.  I know she usually goes at least once a year and takes her daughter.  Hope this helps.

Hey Nprogress,
I like the Six Flags here, we have the water park aka Hurricane Harbor and also several fun rides.  As Mere said we go at least twice a year or so and my daughter just loves it (10 years old), although she is a dare devil and will ride ANYTHING, she loves roller coasters and the wild and scary rides.  I think you will enjoy it, you can also alway find coupons and discounts on the tickets.  If you have any other questions just let me know.

I went to the one in Gurnee last year. It was great. It was the first time in more than 30 years that I was able to fit on a roller coaster, and I rode EVERY coaster there except the Batman because it was closed . The first thing I rode was the Superman with my 16 year old grandson. They no longer had the bungee, I really wanted to do that. But they do have the Dare Devil Dive but it was closed by the time we got around to it. My grandson and I have a bet as to which one of us will ckicken out. But I think that by now he knows that Grandma ain't no punk, lol. We are planning on buying season's tickets this year. I've got 30+ years of coaster riding to make up.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSES!!!!  STACEE IF YOU CAN GIVE ME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON DISCOUNTS ON THE TICKETS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.  I'M ALSO CHECKING INTO THE ZOO AND THE SCIENCE CENTER.

AGAIN, MUCH THANKS TO YOU ALL AND SCARYREADER CONGRATS ON YOU SHOWING YOUR GRANDSON THAT "GRANDMA AIN'T NO PUNK

I will look into it and get back to you.

Thank you so much Stacee!!!
