The Boss is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis in Eureka, Missouri. It features four large drops over 100 feet and a 570 degree helix. The Boss is a very rough, physically demanding ride and people with back and heart problems should reconsider before riding it. It was opened in 2000 and entered many roller coaster top ten lists. It is acclaimed for its "terrain twister" style, dipping up and down with the terrain beneath it.
