Delirium13 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi everyone, planning a trip to Six Flags St. Louis and was wondering if anyone here knew where the best deals on tickets can be had. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 On the website, entering the word Coke in the promo code will get you a large discount, which varies from park to park. Getting a gold season pass Labor Day weekend is usually the best deal, but it's too late/early for that... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The only place I've ever heard of getting tickets for SFStL is at the park or online (online being usually a better deal.) As with many Six Flags parks, a season pass is usually very comparable to any multi-day ticket deal, so if you are planning a multi-day trip or a trip to another Six Flags (e.g. Great America, which is only around five hours away), you may want to consider a pass. Whichever way you do it, I hope you have a great time. I personally love Six Flags St. Louis (so much so that someone is probably groaning while reading that I am once again talking about how much I love the place) and especially The Boss, Mr. Freeze, and American Thunder. The new dark ride looks pretty dang good, too. You should post a TR! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 GOLD pass includes parking, which can run upwards of $30 at some Six Flags. Regular passes do not... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium13 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks for the help! It's all depending on if my friend in St. Louis can budget it in, but if I go I'll definitely post a trip report! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Have your friend look at Coke cans there. At some SIX parks, discounts are time limited. Most Coke bottlers support this promotion. Discounts are larger online (but service fees apply). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 On the subject of St. Louis: I really can't describe how much I love and recommend the City Museum. It's really a one-of-a-kind place that kinda defies explanation, except to say that it is most definitely NOT what you're picturing in your head when you read the words "City Museum." Think museum meets Chuck E. Cheese (but appropriate for grown-ups) meets a repurposed industrial factory meets a lawyer's ultimate nightmare. If you can swing it, I implore you to spend an afternoon there. It's so worth it. For example: The building it's in used to house a shoe manufacturer, and instead of tearing out the spiral chutes that shoes would slide down from the top floor down 10 stories, they added a cage over top of it and turned it into an endless spiral slide that you can ride. The outside of the place has the craziest metal structures for people to explore, and the only way I can think to describe it to people is to say, "It looks like someone's mom told them that they can't go to welding school, and so they decided to spite her and go to welding school and weld every piece of scrap metal they ever found afterwards to each other. And then they called it the City Museum and started charging admission to climb all over it." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I can attest to the fact that City Museum is a must visit. I went there several years back. The place is simply amazing. It even has a Ferris Wheel on the top of the building! A wonderful place to become a kid again and spend many hours of fun exploring the building. I second TombRaiderFTW`s endorsement! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 To my knowledge, SFStL is tied with SFA for the cheapest season passes in the chain right now, so my recommendation would be to buy a Gold Pass there. That way, you get it at the cheapest price you can, and if you happen to end up at another SIX park, it's like you get to go for free. Also, I believe that you can then renew your pass year after year without needing to return to SFStL to process again, so if you were to make a trip next year to, say, SFGAm (one of the more pricey parks in the chain) then you could get your pass cheaper without having to process at another park. Membership passes are also a great way to make your initial investment smaller, just be aware that by buying it, you are committing to paying for 12 months. I went with the membership for my SFGAm pass because a membership is good as long as you are paying, while a pass expires at the end of the season. So, I pay my 12 months and that's good through next July, whereas buying a normal pass would have been the same total cost, but expired in December. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.... methinks I've found something new to tack on to our annual Illinois family reunion trip (40 miles SE of St. Louis) next year instead of our usual Holiday World visit... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium13 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Thanks for the help again everyone. Alas, it was not meant to be this time unfortunately - didn't end up being able to work the park in. Looks like I'll have to try again next time and hopefully work in the City Museum as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
