Six Flags St. Louis, originally known as Six Flags Over Mid-America, is a theme park located in Eureka, Missouri, a suburb within southwestern Greater St. Louis. The park is located within the far northeastern portion of the Ozark Plateau, 34 miles southwest of downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The park opened on June 5, 1971. It was the third of only three company start-up parks created by the Six Flags chain. The other two parks built from the ground up were Six Flags over Texas and Six Flags over Georgia. Unlike the other two parks, which are currently managed but are no longer owned by Six Flags, Six Flags St. Louis is still completely owned and operated by the Six Flags corporation. The park branded itself as 'The Coaster Capital of Missouri' in 2013. Admission to Six Flags St. Louis also includes free admission to Hurricane Harbor.
The park opened in 1971 as the third theme park of the Six Flags chain and is the only one of the three remaining parks completely built, owned and operated by Six Flags.
The park opened with six themed sections—Spain, France, England, the United States, Illinois, and Missouri, representing the "Six Flags" for the park.
Six Flags St. Louis was located on 503 acres (204 ha) of land according to the Six Flags 2014 Annual Report. Six Flags sold 180 acres of undeveloped land east of the park to home developer McBride & Sons. According to the Six Flags 2015 Annual Report, the park now owns 323 acres of land(283 acres of land are used by the park with an additional 40 acres of potentially developable land).
On February 19, 2016, Holiday in the Park was announced to debut at Six Flags St. Louis in Eureka, Missouri and Six Flags America in Baltimore, Maryland for the 2016 Season. The Christmas festival will feature over one-million dazzling lights, with multiple themed areas throughout the park and holiday entertainment, all in a family friendly atmosphere. Holiday in the Park begins on November 25, 2016 and runs select days until January 1, 2017.
