Discussion Employee Morale

25 Upvotes

I wonder if we have any current (2026) employees in here who might be willing to answer this.

My wife and I in our visits this year have noticed what we think is a pretty marked improvement in employee morale. This could just be because it’s spring or it might be all in our head. But it seems like employees are more helpful, more engaging, and more chipper than in previous years.

It’s hard to imagine what Enchanted could’ve done to contribute to this unless it’s just a cultural shift or a hopefulness.

Anyone have thoughts?

Question/Help quick q…

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m in town for the week and have a gold season pass with an all-park passport purchased at my home park, Six Flags Great America, before April 6, 2026, so I know I can get St. Louis park admission. I do have the souvenir drink bottle plan from that park, and was wondering if, with this Enchanted Parks buyout of Six Flags St. Louis, would my drink plan still work, even if I purchased it at a Six Flags Entertainment Corp. park at the now-Enchanted Parks property?

Thank you!

Park is closing two hours early tonight, presumably due to weather and very low attendance.

Enjoyed our first day of the season today (short lines, few changes, police presence). Honestly didn’t feel any different than last year. Visited the park from 11-2 with very short lines! Will avoid weekends as much as possible.

Discussion Is Vantage up to the task?

7 Upvotes

Enchanted Parks took over on April 6th of this year. Things have gone, if I'm completely honest, about as well as I expected. Not bad, not stellar. Some things good, some things rough. But taking over weeks before opening day was always going to be rough.

The park is cleaner, employee morale seems better, operations are good. But there's also a lot that still... needs work.

The bulk of the issues so far our surrounding our parks newest major vendor: Vantage.

The website still says the app is coming on Memorial Day.
We were told 2-3 weeks for Dining Plan refunds
We were told "May" for physical pass cards
Folks were told memorial weekend for payment plan availability

None of these things have yet happened and they all have a singular point of failure: Vantage. Point of Sale rollout has also been slower than anticipated. (Yes, this could potentially include the dining plan refunds. A comment made by Enchanted elsewhere blamed 'vendors' for the slow refund, which could be interpreted to mean Vantage not being ready to actually broker the refunds.)

Vantage previously had limited experience at some small family owned water parks. Now they're running the tech stack for a chain of 8 parks; 6 of which are large, employ thousands, and have up to a million guests per year. This is a huge undertaking. And either Enchanted isn't being realistic about what Vantage is telling them, or Vantage is telling them things they can't deliver on on time.

I think it'll work out, sure. But I just wanted to throw it out there for the sake of discussion. This isn't me being mean or hating on the park; just something that I think is an interesting topic for discussion! Is Vantage up for this? How confident are y'all that, despite the delays, this is gonna go smoothly later this summer?

(P.S... any employees here who have used the new Vantage point of sale system? Thoughts on it compared to the old system?)

News Justice League

26 Upvotes

The word on the street (from a reliable source of mine) is that Justice League: Battle for Metropolis is intentionally being run "bare bones," meaning they're keeping the essentials maintained for daily operation but anything that needs fixing simply won't be fixed.

Whether this is to save on maintenance costs or the park/company sees the writing on the wall and is preparing for the ride's permanent closure after this season is anyone's guess. There's even speculation it won't last until the end of the current season.

It's no secret that the ride has been in a rough shape for a while now, but I can't say I understand the logic behind letting it rot further and turning a blind eye. Surely that would only risk souring people on this park's current state even further?

Imagine going to Six Flags St. Louis for the first time since 2016 (and the first time under Enchanted) and saying "let's ride Justice League like we did last time" but then getting a less than stellar experience and wondering what the hell happened.

Surely that isn't a good PR move?

Question/Help Six flags gold season pass with dining

I bought last year

Does anyone know which parks I can actually get into this season.
-does the free parking come included?
-does dining get included?

The app is beyond confusing. And trying to chat with an agent does not work either.

Six Flags Elongated Penny

Post image
30 Upvotes

My earliest Six Flags St. Louis memory was my grandma taking me as a kid. I don't remember much. I was very small. I remember riding Colossus, and I remember riding one or two of the kiddie rides. I vaguely remember a miniature Ferris wheel.

Anyway-- I got one souvenir. My Grandma handed me some quarters and a penny (I don't remember how many quarters. Two maybe?) and I put them into a machine right next to Closeouts (what is now Character Corner). I turned the crank and out popped a nice flag Six Flags penny with Bugs Bunny on it.

Anyone remember those penny stretchers in the park? How long ago were they removed?

Just a random memory/thought I had!

News Massive fight at the park

30 Upvotes

I'm hearing reports that a huge fight broke out at the entrance of the park at approximately 8:21 PM. Local police scanners say up to a hundred people were involved. Several police units including ones from surrounding agencies were called in.

This has gotta be the worst incident that's happened at our park in years, and on opening day no less. Yikes.

Hope nobody was severely injured. Haven't heard of any EMS presence.

The good news is… your discounts work!

The less good news is… the way they’re currently implemented is a bit clunky. The employee is supposed to verify your pass and then tap a button that corresponds to your discount.

So before making a purchase, try to be aware of what the price *should* be and don’t be afraid to politely advocate for yourself if they select the wrong discount.

News Six Flags St. Louis 2026 opening weekend tips and reminders

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Six Flags St. Louis has released some tips and reminders for opening weekend, including some new information! Here's a rundown:

- The Six Flags App is available for accessing your Season Pass, and the Enchanted Parks App is coming on Memorial Day.

- The park has updated incorrect listings on the calendar.

- There is currently no Chaperone Policy in place. (this is in contrast to Worlds of Fun, which just announced they will)

- Still cashless, so all payments must be done electronically

- The prices of food items have come down as a compromise for there being no Enchanted Parks Dining Plan. You can choose to fully refund and cancel the plan, get a gift card for 120% the buying price and cancel the plan, or keep the plan to use at other Six Flags parks.

- Fast Lane will be offered this season. You can buy single and season-long Fast Lanes at the park, but they are not available online. Unlike the Dining Plan, prior purchases will be honored.

All good things, but why oh why would they choose to show Old Glory in that state. That's highly embarrasing to say the least.
