Six Flags New England is the hook with some pretty significant 'upgrades' if the Blues win.

Sometimes you just have to push all your chips to the middle of the table. And that is exactly what Six Flags St. Louis is doing, fresh off their win in a bet with their sister park in California when the St. Louis Blues beat the San Jose Sharks to become the NHL Western Conference Champions.



Now the Eureka-based park is making a wager with Six Flags New England as both parks’ local teams play for the NHL Championship starting Monday, May 27. This friendly competition between sister parks has a lot more at stake than just bragging rights.

The St. Louis Blues have been waiting 49 years for another chance to take the Stanley Cup home and when they beat the Boston Bruins, Six Flags New England will be responsible for the following:

Six Flags New England will rename their Thunderbolt wooden coaster to “Thunder Blues” and hoist a St. Louis Blues flag at the ride;

The park will provide free admission for one week to anyone from Missouri with a valid state ID;

A Blues band will follow Six Flags New England’s Park President, Pete Carmichael for an entire day;

The park will send iconic Bostonian treats to Six Flags St. Louis including Boston Cream Donuts, New England Clam Chowder, and Boston Baked Beans; and

Six Flags New England will serve St. Louis traditional gooey butter cake to the first 100 guests entering the park.

If the Boston Bruins were to win the series, Six Flags St. Louis will be responsible for the following:

The park will provide free admission for one week to anyone from Massachusetts with a valid state ID;

Six Flags St. Louis will serve Boston cream pies to the first 100 guests entering the park.
