Six Flags St. Louis, originally Six Flags Over Mid-America until 1996, is a theme park in Eureka, Missouri, owned and operated by Six Flags. It opened on June 5, 1971 as the third and last of the three original Six Flags theme parks by company founder Angus G. Wynne, the others being Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Over Georgia. The park debuted Fright Fest in 1988, which was then known as Fright Nights. Following the acquisition of Six Flags Over Mid-America by Time Warner in 1991, part of the entertainment company's increasing financial interest in the Six Flags Corporation, Fright Nights was rebranded as Fright Fest for 1993.
As of 2025, Six Flags St. Louis has eight unique themed sections, though the degree of theming in these areas varies and has overall lessened significantly since the Time Warner era. These sections are 1904 World's Fair, DC Comics Plaza, Britannia, Bugs Bunny National Park, Gateway to the West, Illinois, Studio Backlot, and Chouteau's Market.
