Amazing terrain woody. From the Tremendous hills to the lateral g pulling helix, this Boss is nothing to complain about.

On my 2005 Coaster Trip.. Boss was one of the rides I wanted to ride the most... To bad after a crappy day at the park.. I got one crappy ride on Boss... The trains need to go... The ride was fun but I didnt get to ride in the front or back... because my time was running low... and then the crappy G-Trains..... Just not much fun for me.

My Favorite Ride at SFSTL. Best wood coaster ive ridden so far. Only problem that I can find with it is that it is an extremely rough ride.

This would be a brilliant ride, except that they run Gerstlauer trains... and those trains SUCK!

HORRIBLE ride!!! The vehicles were the crappiest vehicles known to man. They felt like they were going to fall apart as they tore through the extremely rough track. The other thing is that this ride didn't provide me with any airtime and i rode in back row. The terrain was nice and it looked pretty massive from land, however, it still turned out to be the worst wooden coaster i have ever been on.

I had the luxury of riding this coaster in it's first season. Back then it was wild but not so rough. Given the way that Gerstlauer trains rip up woodie tracks, I cannot believe they have not replaced these trains yet, but I still love this coaster. I like a nice rough ride but PTCs would do this one some good. It is still in my top 5 though.

Probably my favorite coaster at Six Flags St. Louis, It uses the terrain very well, and the front seat provides great views.

Too scared to ride in the back with these G-trains. But my two front row rides were fantastic. Speed on a wooden coaster is awesome if it's kept in check. Boss accomplishes that nicely, even if it isn't too easy on the eyes at times.
LOVED the double down.
