The Boss is a Wooden roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis in Eureka, Missouri. It features a lift of 122 feet (37 m), a first drop of 150 feet (46 m), four drops of 150', 112', 103' and 72', and a 570 degree helix.
It was opened in 2000 and is acclaimed for its "terrain twister" style, dipping up and down with the terrain beneath it.
In 2009, the coaster got spare coaster trains from a sister coaster, Twisted Twins at Kentucky Kingdom (then known as Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom) after shutting down the coaster's wing of the park. It had previously received other spare trains from Mega Zeph at Six Flags New Orleans.
