So on Saturady, June 19th, me and 2 friends took a 1 day trip to Six Flags St. Louis. My friends dad got us season passes for only 45 bucks, which is pretty good considering they can be used at any Six Flags Park in the country(theyre normally like 80 bucks)

I was excited because it was my first real trip without my parents or an Adult or something of that sort. It takes over 3 hours to get there from where I live in Central Illinois, but it was such an easy trip. Really only 2 interstate changes the whole way down there. Anywho, had a really great time, everything that I wanted to ride we did. It got pretty crowded later on in the day, so we left before 7. If you ever go to a Amusement Park on a weekend, see if you can go on a weekday first, the crowds will always be less. But if you do have to go on a weekend, make sure you arrive at opening. Because nobody really arrives right when the park opens, and youve usually got a good 2 hours of short waits throughout the park. Anywho im a big rollercoaster fan, and I typed up a more in depth trip report at a website called Coasterbuzz, if your interested in reading it you can at http://www.coasterbuzz.com/forum.aspx?mode=thread&TopicID=38430 Also, if your interested in seeing a list of every Rollercoaster ive ever ridden, along with how many laps ive taken on each and a rating for each, or if you want to make your own list, go here: http://home.coastergrotto.com:8080/track_record.jsp?argId=5501 Also, here is a list of my top 20 favorite coasters:

Dude, Mr. Freeze looks SICK! I would love to ride that. You should go to Six Flags Magic Mountain whenever you're in Cali and check out Goliath and X, I love those rides!

I love how six flags builds the same costers in every park and calls them something else.

Acebot: Mr Freeze is a pretty good ride, but nothing I would call SICK, especially compared to some other stuff ive been on in other parks.

Stonecutter: You do make a good point. But they do sometimes a least change the coaster around somewhat. For instance, the Batman in STL is the reverse of the Batman in Chicago. Therefore all turns are the oppisite of what they are in the other park. The one in St. Louis is much more smooth then the one in Chicago as well, for some reason. And, the coasters are still in different locations, which makes them different enough in my book.

Yep, Mr. Freeze is just like Batman and Robin at Six Flags Great Adventure, and Batman is identical to the Batman at Six Flags Great Adventure.
