EPR now owns more parks with the word "Adventure" in their name than SFEC does, y'know. Before this renaming, it was tied at 1 each.

Coasters: 653 🎢
Technically, most operators own a park with the word Adventure. Universal Islands of Adventure, Disney California Adventure, Chessington Worlds of Adventure, Alabama Adventure, Fantawild Adventure, Wild Adventures... lest we forget Swampy Jack's Wongo Adventure, etc.
It really is one thing that unites most of the big chains.
Ironically, United Parks might be the largest chain in the US not to have a park with "Adventure" in the name.

Adventure Island (Tampa's waterpark) begs to differ...
Everyone local will still call it six flags, attendance will neither increase nor decrease. The name has zero impact on a park serving a metro area like SFSTL
they should look into changing the name of Six Flags Road lol
also why did they remove the coaster train from the arch? was it even branded

It’s a bit of a clunker, but I can’t bring myself to hate it. I’m just glad they didn’t leave it at “mid america”.
That said… slap an N on the back of America and suddenly “Mid American Adventure” sounds alright.

"Half Dozen Banners Over St Louis" was robbed
So we all agree to just monosyllabically call it "MAA!" from now on, right?
I don't like the name but the new logo and sign is very nice to be fair
"Mid America Adventure" sounds like a name created by a group of slightly drunk, very snarky people from one of the coasts. (Vague Hand Wave) "Just call it something that sounds fun that you can do in The Middle."
(Also, I love it for this.)

It's a real good lookin sign at least!
The name is clunky and odd but there's something charming about it to me. Thank god it's not just "mid america by".

I wish they hadn't removed the coaster train from the arch itself but aside from that the logo looks good. That being said, the name is so ass WHO approved that

I may have missed something, but "Enchanted America" and "Enchanted Missouri", and "Enchanted Heartland" are all open.
What's funny is, even being super low effort, but literally they could just use "Enchanted X" for most of their park names and it would be better than anything like this.

Enchanted Gateway would have been solid. References the whole gateway to the west/gateway arch thing, incorporates "Enchanted" into the name of what is supposedly the chain's flagship park, is thematically agnostic (since the park doesn't seem to know what it wants to be when it grows up despite a ton of rethemes being imminently required), it evokes the idea of passing into a magical place separated from reality, and it allows the park to turn the existing, clever tagline "Gateway to Thrills" into a full branding/marketing system for the park (e.g. "Your Enchanted Gateway to Thrills!", "Your Enchanted Gateway to Family Fun!", "Your Enchanted Gateway to Halloween Frights!", etc.)

Gateways of Fun would have been good. Make it within the same naming profile as Worlds of Fun.
Enchanted Parks was intent on including some version of "Mid America" in the new name as an homage to its original moniker, "Six Flags Over Mid-America." I'm sure any focus group would've found that everyone associates the park with the Six Flags branding, not the phrase "Mid America," even if that perfectly describes the state of Missouri.
