• Six Flags St. Louis unveils new name (themeparktribune.com) — Eureka's longtime Six Flags St. Louis park is getting a new identity as Mid America Adventure under its new Enchanted Parks ownership. The company is rolling out 2027 season passes, including a cheaper option covering Mid America Adventure and Worlds of Fun, and a higher-tier pass with broader park access and expanded Fright Fest benefits that hint at possible separate Halloween ticketing.
