History

The park opened with six themed sections--Spain, France, England, the United States, Illinois, and Missouri, representing the "Six Flags" for the park.
Six Flags St. Louis was located on 503 acres (204 ha) of land according to the Six Flags 2014 Annual Report. Six Flags sold 180 acres of undeveloped land east of the park to home developer McBride & Sons. According to the Six Flags 2015 Annual Report, the park now owns 323 acres of land (283 acres of land are used by the park with an additional 40 acres of undeveloped land).
