Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 https://www.themeparktourist.com/news/20230209/33272/iconic-ride-retired-six-flags-st-louis Nobody ever talked about it much, but a rare and unique ride has closed in St. Louis, Xcalibur, been confirm by the park itself, and it has been taken off the list of rides. How do you feel about it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Never got to ride it, super bummed they closed it (especially after they recently finished a long refurbishment on it), and like always I'm questioning the six flags park management. I always wanted to ride this one and it was always closed or broken down every time I would go to six flags st Louis so yeah I think it was unreliable but at the same time the ride model is so rare, it actually gave them something that other parks didn't have. However, six flags as a whole doesn't seem to be wanting to make big investments in any of their parks currently and certainly not in the mid-low tier ones like st Louis. I hate to see any unique ride get closed just because you are losing something you can't experience other places. However, what is more irritating about this removal is that six flags I'm sure will wait around awhile to replace it and whenever they do it'll be some generic flat ride that won't be open half the time for whatever reason (at least Xcalibur usually had a reason). Anyway, I'm clearly not in amusement park management or leadership type positions and hate to say what I would do in certain situations however, I'm all for the preservation of the existing rides that remain popular and/or unique! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
