SIX FLAGS SAINT LOUIS & Six Flags Hurricane Harbor St. Louis, MO Owned: EPR Properties / Operated: Enchanted Parks (Name change and new brand to come in 2027...)
Park News - (3/7/2026) We finally have some words from Enchanted Parks about the future of the Six Flags St. Louis park, part of a 7-park deal that the company is selling to EPR Properpties. Six of those seven parks, including Six Flags St. Louis will be put under the management of the new Enchanted Parks” chain. James Harhi, CEO and founder of Enchanted Parks referred to Six Flags St. Louis as the “crown jewel” of their new chain of parks, and has already confirmed that after the 2026 season the plan is to rename the park “Mid-America by Enchanted Parks” in homage to the park’s original name, “Six Flags over Mid-America”. Harhi says that they will use the 2026 season to dig down to figure out what park guests want to see going forward, which rides are popular, which are not, and promises that the park “shoudl be seeing new attractions on a consistent basis”. Enchanted Parks has already reached out to Warner Bros. about licensing rights for the park’s DC Comics themed attractions, though even if they can keep some of the overall themes, they will have to change the names of things due to Six Flags trademark ownership of individual attraction names like Batman: The Ride and Joker: Carnival of Chaos. He also confirmed that Enchanted Parks has a 40-year lease deal to operate the park for EPR Properties.
(1/31/2026) Six Flags St. Louis posted some pictures on Facebook yesterday showing off some work being done to the park’s Screamin’ Eagle ahead of the ride’s 50th anniversary this season. From the look of things the approach to the lift and the lift itself are being completely re-tracked, while leaving the existing structure in place.
(8/8/2025) After a five year long renovation, it has been reported that the Grand Ole Carousel at Six Flags St. Louis has been restored and reopened. Every horse was stripped down to the “bare bones” and restored back to pristine condition, with each horse being unique and “telling its own story”.
(7/14/2025) Six Flags St. Louis has confirmed that the park will be bringing back the Chaperone Policy starting on July 17th. If this is your first time hearing about this, the Chaperone Policy means that all guests after 15 or under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, at least 21 years of age, in order to enter the park, as well as remain with them to allow them to stay in the park. If underage guests are found in the park without an adult/guardian, they will be removed from the park. The policy will go into effect daily at 4pm through to park close.
2026 - Nothing is known at this point in time...
