roller coasters

This should never happen and the amusement park has already issued an apology. A Missouri woman was just kicked off of a roller coaster and the reason is bizarre.

The world cannot have enough roller coasters. That's a proven fact (in my opinion). Good news then as Six Flags St. Louis has announced there's a new racer-themed coaster that will be opening in the park this year.

If you like the idea of zooming down a mountain, you can now do it for real in Grafton, Illinois as there's a new mountain coaster and it's officially ready for prime time.

It's been more than 27 years since this tragic event happened and I still haven't heard an explanation of how a Missouri girl fell off of a roller coaster yet no one seemed to notice. It's a mystery that remains unsolved today.

I have ridden the Ninja rollercoaster at Six Flags in St. Louis probably a zillion times in my life and that's only a slight exaggeration. Now, you can ride it whether you're at Six Flags or not if you have a decent computer thanks to a genius that created it in a video game.

As a self-professed roller coaster nerd and aficionado, I am proud to share some video moments that give you an idea what it's like to ride the appropriately-named "Wildfire" coaster at Missouri's Silver Dollar City.

I am a veteran of all the coasters at Six Flags in St. Louis. If you want to know anything about any of the rides there, I can help you out. However, I have never been to Six Flags Great America in Illinois. Thanks to a new video share, we can all see what it's like to ride the coasters there (and non-coasters, too).

When I hear roller coasters at Six Flags discussed, The Screamin' Eagle is the first one that gets mentioned and for good reason. However, I would argue that one of the most underrated thrill rides the park has ever had was The Jet Scream.

I used to go to Six Flags in St. Louis practically every year growing up in the 1970's and 80's and cannot remember this coaster at all. It's a coaster that opened at Six Flags in St. Louis and only lasted a year because of a tragedy.

Missouri is fortunate to have some classic wooden roller coasters. No offense intended to the newer metal structures, but I'm an old-school wooden coaster fan. Missouri has two of the best in Outlaw Run and The Screamin' Eagle, but which is better?
