I am so excited for Summer to be here, going to Six Flags Great America growing up in Chicagoland was such a special summertime treat. It always felt like it was a version of Disney World in our backyard. Since moving down to the Quincy area I have never been to Six Flags St. Louis, but people have told me that it is also worth checking out. If Six Flags St. Louis is even half as good as Six Flags Great America in Chicagoland then I bet it is worth a visit this summer. Are you a Six Flags fan? Or can you not handle the thrills?
