Six Flags St. Louis is already the place to go for thrilling roller coasters, but the park is also home to great family rides and in 2014, Tsunami Soaker adds a new twist! This interactive attraction allows riders to spray each other while turning and spinning 'round and 'round. Nine boats, with six passengers each, sit atop a circular floor that lowers into the water until it disappears, allowing the boats to float and rotate. Each passenger is armed with a giant water pistol as they engage in a water battle that will leave everyone, including bystanders, soaking wet!

"While Six Flags St. Louis is thrilled to be the Coaster Capital of Missouri, we are extremely proud of the rides we offer for families to enjoy together," said Dave Roemer, Six Flags St. Louis park president. "In 2014, Tsunami Soaker will take that interactive experience to a new level. In fact, we believe guests of ALL ages are going to love this ride!"

Tsunami Soaker is scheduled to open late spring 2014 and will be located in the Gateway to the West section of the park. For more information about upcoming 2014 Six Flags rides and attractions, including a video highlighting the new rides, visit www.sixflags.com/2014news.
