Six Flags St. Louis
Eureka, Missouri

    Six Flags Over Mid-America was the third and final Six Flags park built from scratch.  After an investment of over $50 million, the park opened in 1971.  The park was built and owned by Penn Central.  Since then it has been owned by a number of organizations including Bally's, Wesray Capital, Time Warner Corp., and Premier Parks.  The park's name was changed recently to better indicate its location near St. Louis.

    Jet Scream was here from 1981 to 1988.  It then ran as Viper at Six Flags AstroWorld until it was demolished in 2005.  Also, one half of the Mine Train was moved to Dollywood and operated there from 1989 to 1998 as Thunder Express.  Now the ride is at Magic Springs and Crystal Falls in Arkansas and opened in May 2002 as Big Bad John.
