The smack talk eventually led to a bet between the two cities’ respective theme parks.

Now, with the Cubs preparing for the NLCS and the Cardinals sitting at home, Six Flags St. Louis has been forced to honor their end of the bet, which they did with great dignity.

So, if you’re a Cubs fan in St. Louis, it may be worth your time to stop by Six Flags and ride “Cubs Thunder” before it’s gone.
