I just had to take the time to write and I find that I should have written a long time ago.

I have been to a lot of amusement parks and I can tell you first-hand that none compare to yours.

I am from St. Louis and drive at least 4-5 times a year in the summer to visit your park.

The park is always clean with a top-of-the-line friendly staff and reasonable prices. That all really counts in times like these. You offer free drinks all day long - that's half the cost of a day at the park, especially those hot ones. Sun screen at no cost.

Six Flags, St. Louis - this is what they have to offer - $15.00 parking, $39+ for a one-day ticket, $13.00 lunches, $13.00 souvenir cup and free refills the day of purchase and if you bring it back during the season, it's .99 cents a refill. $7.99-$9.99 for a funnel cake, $3.99 for a bottle of water; no drinking fountains, $13.00 locker rentals with no deposit return. Some rides do not allow you to take anything on the ride and they try to force you to rent a temporary locker for $2.00 for two hours max. They have no "cubbies" to store anything that you may be carrying. It is absolutely ridiculous.

I will not return to Six Flags as their prices are outrageous and it's a wonder they are still in business.

Please do not change the way that you run your parks. They are so family-friendly and so reasonably priced. With the economy today, you actually have an affordable great time.

I will continue to visit your park which is 3-1/2 hours away, as opposed to Six Fags which is less than an hour away.

I follow the quality. And your park is definitely filled with quality staff, cleanliness, facilities, pricing, rides, a water park, shows, meals, - need I go on? Just can't say enough.

I want to commend you on a job well done and for family time spent that is so precious to me.

See you soon!!

Oh, and you also have two girls that work there - Rachel and Ona (I think the spelling's right). They are absolutely wonderful and you should be so proud to have them as a part of your staff team. They don't come like that anymore, that's for sure! Please give them an "atta-girl" for us. Make sure you take care of those dedicated employees - they are few and far between!

Holiday World, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Thanks for the memories!!!

Love,

Mike, Nancy and Kyle C.
