Six Flags St. Louis is a fun theme park located in Eureka, Missouri. It was first called Six Flags Over Mid-America. This park is owned and run by the company Six Flags.
The park first opened its doors on June 5, 1971. It was the third park that Six Flags ever built. Six Flags St. Louis is special because it's the only one of the first three parks that Six Flags still fully owns and operates. The other two original parks, Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Over Georgia, are owned by other groups but still run by Six Flags.
The idea for the park came from Six Flags founder Angus G. Wynne in the 1960s. Randall Duell helped design the park. It has eight different areas, each with its own theme. These areas have lots of rides, places to eat, and live shows. There's also a water park next door called Hurricane Harbor. You can visit Hurricane Harbor for free with your park ticket!
