What each one is.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Six Flags Fiesta Texas sits in a former limestone quarry in San Antonio, Texas - one of the most distinctive settings of any US theme park. The coaster line-up includes Iron Rattler (a Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Batman: The Ride (a 4-D free-fly coaster), Superman Krypton Coaster, Poltergeist, and Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster. A Hurricane Harbor Pirate Cove water park is included with admission.

Texas school holidays, Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park drive Fiesta Texas's peak crowds. Summer San Antonio heat pushes queue times up in the afternoons as guests head to the shaded quarry walls and water rides. Check live wait times for Iron Rattler and Wonder Woman on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a cooler midweek date for shorter queues.
