Took a ride over to the Texas parks for a few days to get those coasters ridden for the summer. I only took a few pics and actually not much of coasters themselves. We already have a ton of them and I also threw together the SFOT video in 06 which can be found at YouTube if you do a search for “calcajun”.

 

Most times PTR’s concentrate on rides and coasters. I was actually thinking how nice SFFT and SFOT have matured nicely with age. What I found was the few pics I did take were mostly of the parks and not rides.

 

Personally I find I prefer SFFT more over SFOT. SFFT has a more diverse theming and walkways are more brick and stone set in the quarry, whereas SFOT is larger and has the live concerts throughout the day but mostly just blacktop paths. Just my personal preference. Yours may vary.

Certainly in the middle of july it was hot, humid and uncomfortable. Both parks were packed Sat,Sun and Mon.

 

Here are a few photos of Six Flags Fiesta Texas

 

 

Here is what you meet first . Very nice.

 

 

 

 

 

Beyond that is the plaza to the ticket booths

 

 

 

 

Then beyond that is the plaza into the metal detectors and entrance to the park

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once through the entrance main street is complete mission style buildings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go to your right and you end up in the western section

Walkways and paths here are pretty plain but that goes along with this particular theme

 

 

 

 

Some coasters in this area

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a rapids ride

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Movin on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then you hit the 50’s with the drive in, theatre, high school Ect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is the boardwalk which is just that, a pier

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then there is the medieval section

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then heading back to the front of the park

Here are a few photos of Six Flags Over Texas

 

 

 

At the entrance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I figured these are a dying breed. Sat it was up and running but I was riding coasters. Figured I would get photos of it Sunday. As you can see it did not run Sunday. Most likely a staffing issue I guess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OOoooo, freeze is the coolest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice flat and purdy

 

 

 

 

Nice theme on a swinging ship. The exact stuff is on the other side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OOoo, I like this one

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one is just ok. I like Mind Bender WAY better

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OOOOO, Loook, a foot chopper, wait. Never mind.

 

 

 

 

Coobrila stuff

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look at the Derek! And it is open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Judge roy scream. Didn’t even bother to ride it

 

 

 

 

Texas Giant. Shame I didn’t go ride this when it first opened. It is pretty bad now.

Awesome trip report, you're a great photographer. Six Flags Fiesta Texas looks like the nicest park in the chain to me.
Yep, It's the extra wide plain sidewalks. Anyone see the "roaming gang" pic in the SFFT photos?

There are most likely quite a few nice looking parks. Thing is, lots of us look at the coasters and rides we are headed to and don't see the park itself.

 

SFOG is another real nice one.

Will have some pics from there before the end of the season.

3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D

Look at the foiliage at SFOT simply amazing! SFFT is too hot...

It is true you could walk the same distance in both parks and catch more shade at SFOT.

SFFT all around is WAY nicer to look at though. I have made twice as many trips to Fiesta than over texas.

Just my preference though.
