Six Flags St. Louis today opened its first new coaster in a decade.
Rookie Racer is a Vekoma Junior Coaster, themed to open wheel race cars. With a 36-inch height requirement and a top speed of 27 miles per hour, this is definitely a starter coaster, as its name implies. Let's look at the off-ride video.
This is the Missouri park's 10th coaster overall and its first new coaster installation since Boomerang in 2013.

Glad to see they actually got this open in 2023, as it was a dirt lot with scattered track pieces when I was there in June. Given this was one of those rare parks without any sort of junior coaster, looks like a perfect fit in their lineup.
