About each park

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.

Six Flags Over Texas

Six Flags Over Texas is the original Six Flags park, opened in 1961 in Arlington - the location that gave the whole chain its name. The coaster line-up includes New Texas Giant (a record-setting Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Titan (a 255-foot hyper coaster), Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast, Judge Roy Scream, Shock Wave, and the classic Runaway Mine Train.

Texas school holidays, the extremely popular Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park events drive most of Six Flags Over Texas's peak crowds. Summer heat can push queue times up as guests seek the shadier rides and water attractions. Check live wait times for New Texas Giant and Titan on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a cooler, lower-crowd midweek date.
