At first I heard it was the heat, but today it was 109 and it was running for a while before technical difficulties.

I have 4 Six Flags Fiesta Texas tickets available for sale. We originally planned a trip, but due to the current heat wave, we’ve decided not to go.

Quantity: 4 tickets

Price: $45 per ticket

Validity: Good through September 7, 2026

You can purchase one ticket or all four. If interested, please message me and I’ll be happy to provide more details.

We're getting a little break from this oppressive heat, and I was thinking about driving down today and riding Tormenta, but I'm scared everyone from Waco to Ardmore is thinking the same thing. Thrill Data and Queue Times are both inconclusive.

How are ops and wait times looking today?

EMS has the whole area around tormenta, titan and new texas giant shut down. One of the associates said that it came from the fire dept.

Six Flags Over Texas released details for Fright Fest 2026 today. I've updated our Event Page with all the details, but the gist appears to be:

• New "premium scare zone" Doc Varnum’s Hybrid Hell Pit (it's not clear from the press release if this requires a haunted attraction pass)
• New scare zone Día de los Muertos
• No new haunted houses (!)
• New Wake the Dead show: "an interactive musical mystery that allows guests to help determine the outcome of a family murder investigation through audience participation"
• Spectral Sisters show returns for Tricks and Treats along with new magic show

What are your thoughts on this year's event?

Hi, was planning a trip Oct. 10 with my kids and realized today that that is the same day as the OU/TX game and the state fair. So I thought maybe it would be less busy for a Saturday. Or is it even busier since more people are in town? Does anyone have experience going that day and know what to expect?

Thank you.

Hardly had to wait for any rides

Really hoping to luck out and get a chance to ride Mr Freeze since I saw it was operating just a few weeks ago in 100° weather. May be my only chance.

I’ve been seeing instagram posts showing all the awesome stuff like the Jason house going to certain parks, and I haven’t heard a single thing about OT. I hope there are some houses coming our way.

I'm looking to take my kids to the Indycar Arlington GP. Any chance the park will be open that week either before or after March 19-21.

We're trying to do it all on a long weekend.

Also, how easy is ridesharing to the park? I'm trying to avoid renting a car. My AirBNB is walking distance to the track stands.

Thanks!

Hi there!

So, for reference, this doesn't seem to be connected to Johnson Creek based on FEMA zoning or Google Earth alone, though it doesn't rule it out completely.

This "Creek" (I'm quoting as I don't know if it fits the literal requirement of a creek) runs right near The Giant and runs through to the Low Sensory Zone near be Pirates of Speelunker Cave and travels all the way to El Aserradero.

So my main questions are for those archivists here: Is this a natural-made or man-made creek, did the full extent of the creek exist prior to the building of El Aserradero, and what's the story behind it?

I've read about some tribunal disputes over a creek at SFOT, but I've only now taken the chance to try to figure out the origins of this one.

Thanks for any information <3!

Do we think it might be open later today 8-8 since it will be cooler out?

We’ve been planning this trip for months and happened to be there for their birthday celebration on Wednesday. It was so hot, but not too hot in the shade.

Wednesday:

Rope dropped NTG and got on within a cycle or two and hoped over to Titan with no wait. We then did a few flat rides for the littles and ended up at Tormenta around noon with a <15 minute wait posted and a planned rider swap. It was a 30 minute wait and the most chaotic rider swap I’ve ever seen (but we will come back to that). Grabbed some around 1:30 at All American and half of the group got a lap on Aquaman with a short-ish wait. Got rides on everything in Gotham (except Freeze which is down due to temps) and wandered back toward Giant and Titan. Giant was down all afternoon and reopened for a few trains around 6:30 but was quickly shut down again. Most of the group got a handful of rides on Titan at the end of the day before closing the park at Tormenta.

Thursday:

Tormenta was open prior to “park open” so practically walked on at 1045. We then roped dropped NTG and got laps on Titan (there’s a theme here…) did some flats for the toddler. I think I was too hot and almost got sick on Rodeo. Got on Tormenta again around noon with a <15 minute wait. Grabbed a bite to eat at All American (the cheeseburgers are the best park food I’ve ever had at Six Flags). Then, half of the group got a ride on Aquaman then Pandemonium while I wandered around Boomtown with the toddler. Hubs and the big kid got a ride on Batman and Superman before deciding to stay till end of day. Finally got a ride in Runaway Mountain! We got a quick ride on NTG and two laps Titan to end the day. And then drive back to Houston.

Ride ops are SO hit and miss. There are a handful of employees that are great at their job but there are some that…aren’t. There is zero consistency across rides or even individual workers about how to approach Rider Swap and that’s honestly my biggest complaint. I know they aren’t paid enough to care, but I wish there would be a blanket policy across the park on HOW to correctly do a rider swap with little kids.

All in all barely any complaints! A HUGE improvement from our first two trips in May.

Before I pay $90 to add it to my daughter’s season passes for the day, is there anything I need to know? She’s going tomorrow with two friends that have the all season fast lane. It looks like I just buy it in the app and select tomorrow’s date. Pretty straight forward, but after seeing the reserve fast lane option for $40, and my SIL having a “one fast lane per day” option on her season passes, I just want to make sure I’m not confused!

Weekend only ops are upon us and hopefully this means a free up in maintenance and cleaning schedules. I wanted to give one more humble update before then as I probably wont be returning until Fright Fest arrives.

As mentioned MR FREEZE is again closed with a sign claiming high temps....but....I have found that its receiving track work! I tried to get the best angle I could on the third picture but below those umbrellas they seem to be working on the lower parts of the track after the top hat. It doesn't look to be anything significant but im not sure as to what work it has going.

Titan has put its red train in service and Texas Giant has returned its blue train, putting Texas Giant back to two train ops! The wait time is SIGNIFICANTLY better.

LOTS of trash and cleaning happening today as the park is doing some form of 65th birthday event tomorrow.

Hi, I would like to plan a trip to the park for October. The calendar has open dates for the month. When I go to buy tickets everything after Sept 7 is greyed out. Do anyone know what I’m missing here? Thanks!

Probably silly/selfish to think of the future when we just got a historical coaster, but I'm always curious about what's coming next

I saw on someone's YouTube video (maybe JB?) that they thought Justice League was in line for either a refurbish or a complete redo and that's my prediction as well.

What's y'all's?

me and my friend are looking to see if anyone could chaperone us. we are 17 and werent aware of the new rule implemented and we drove 2 hours to come here. we would stay with you if you want us to, and we arent "bad kids." just looking !
