I am taking wife and kids to the St. Louis Six Flags on June 1st. I hope it's as much fun as it looks.

has anyone been to this?i am gonna go next month when i'm in the states.i see it is like 3 parks in one... i won't bother with the safari but is it worth using 2 days to go to the theme and water element on seperate days?some of the rides look incredible.

Actually the safari is pretty fun. You drive through and all these animals come up to your car looking for food. They tell ya to keep your windows shut, but everybody's always got them open. I saw a monkey snatch a sandwich out of a kid's hand once.Giraffe slobber doesn't come off your windows as easy as you might think though!

Yes...the other two are spain and the state flag (which is weird, because its the Lonestar again, but...whatever)

Well, my buddy just informed me that the state flag doesnt count...the confederate flag is the sixth flag.
