| Food |
| JBs Smokehouse is the most popular eatery. Typical fare can be found throughout the park and people may recognize the following franchises (Johnny Rocket's Express and Panda Express). SFStL is one of the few northern US parks that sells fresh roasted corn on the cob (Colonel Cobbs). |
| Operating Season |
| SFSL starts opening on weekends in late April and begins daily operations in late May--but be sure to check the park's online calendar for "Schools Only" days. The park cuts back to weekends only from mid-August through October. The Hurricane Harbor water park's season runs from Memorial Day Weekend (late May) through Labor Day (early September).
Both parks open at 10:30 am. The theme park stays open until 9:00 pm (later on some days), while the water park closes at 7:00 pm. |
| Established Seasonal events |
| Concerts are offered during the summer months. The park has regular Christian music events, as well--Joyfest, Christian Family Day, and Praise-a-Palooza--in the summer. FrightFest occurs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in October. Holiday in the Park occurs on weekends in December. |
| Access & Location |
| SFStL is located about 30 miles southwest of downtown St. Louis at 4900 Six Flags Road, Eureka, MO 63025. The park is served by I-44 (exit 261). |
| Nearby Lodging |
| The Holiday Inn Six Flags is located within walking distance of the park, and it offers shuttle service. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Family Fun Resort, a quarter mile from the park, offers campsites and cottages. Other chains, ranging from Motel 6 to Quality Inn, can be found in nearby towns. |
| Virtual Queue Options |
| The park offers three levels of Flash Pass (the Qbot system) for their major coasters and water rides: Regular, Gold, and Platinum (which allows you to wait once and ride twice). Flash Passes are available while they last. |
| Shows |
| You can greet your favorite DC Super Heroes and other characters (such as Looney Tunes and Scooby Doo) at the Palace Gardens near the St. Louis Train Station. There are other character meet-and-greet stages located throughout the park. |

| TPR Notes |
|
This park has the potential to be one of the best in the chain. The park blends the old with the new very well. There is a variety to their coasters, lacking only a signature steel coaster.
Families can ride a few of the tamer coasters together, along with some flats, but a few more flats would balance out their offerings.
Many areas of the park look very nice and are well shaded. However, the DC Comics area is lacking in shade and isn't very attractive. | |
