[edit] Summary

The Ninja is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis in Eureka, Missouri. The ride features a loop, a sidewinder, and a double corkscrew. It was originally started by Arrow. When Arrow fell into bankruptcy it was sold to Vekoma who finished it. It was originally located at Expo '86 in Vancouver, B.C. as The Scream Machine.

[edit] Description of Ride

The ride begins on a lift hill, goes down into one loop, a sidewinder, a double corkscrew, a helix, and then back into the station. Many people report small bruises due to the amount of sharp twists and turns, but the ride still runs as normal.
