the bottom line is SFStL is a family-oriented park.
The park isn't meant to have the "Cedar Point" feel of thrills and chills and all that jazz.
Screamin Eagle, Batman, Boss, THBS, Ninja, Mr. Freeze, and a hyper coaster? doesn't make sense...
Now to agree with you for a second, maybe SFStL doesn't need a new woodie, I don't know. I personally think they could use a smaller steel, bigger than just a spinning mouse...but 200+ just seems a little much for the layout of SFStL.
..and hey man, there's still plenty friendly people around here for sure! ..and your age is unimportant to the most of us.
