Six Flags Fiesta Texas (SFFT) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Going to SFFT in a few weeks (on a Sunday) and had a few questions:

 

-Are all rides (thinking Batman and Iron Rattler) available with all levels of the Flash Pass?

-I have about 4-5 hours to spend at the park - what are some of the "must-dos" outside of the normal big attractions?

Hi! Im an employee at Six flags fiesta Texas, Im at Front Gate (Turnstiles) . We have a variety of attractions you can fit into your time frame. Most of our thrill attractions do have the Flash Pass, and the Flash Pass range from $45-110 depending what level you get them at. You can ride almost all of the rides in just a few hours (Depending on the crowds, of course) - Hope you have an enjoyable day. Our three new rides are opening real soon!

Hey guys. Looking to visit the park tomorrow and purchase a season pass there as well. Does the price you pay for it in the park differ from the purchase price online? Also, how long should I expect the entire process to take to get it processed? If I want to ride the rides at opening, how much time should I allot myself?

 

Mahalos!

The season pass is cheaper online. Six Flags now process season passes at the entrance the first time you go. They no longer take photos, just scan your finger. So its a quick process but I still recommend getting there early. I actually have no idea what the season pass processing centers are for now.

 

Has anyone been to the park this season that can post some pics of the new additions? I'd like to see how they look and how they fit into the area.

 

I went the weekend before the rides were open to the public. I'm sure someone has some photos now with the rides open. The Boardwalk area looks great and is ready for a new coaster in 2017. (wishful thinking)

Room behind this ride for a coaster. Just saying

I like the roof over Spinsanity but the ride looks out of place to me.

^ Thank you for the pics! I'm surprised there hasn't been any TR yet. These are really cool additions (even the super loop will be liked by most of the park visitors) and I hope its a trend that SF has planned for several other of their parks.

I'm just a little annoyed that there really was no net gain:

 

they took out the ship, and the Wipeout (that had been sitting idle for years before it went away), and they removed Frisbee for HF5.

 

so really, the boardwalk is just back to where it was 10 years ago (in terms of rides). I really wish they would have put in a short Skyride from over by Scooby Doo entrance to where Superloops is now, and then back.

 

Hershey Park has one that short, and it would have fit wonderfully in that Boardwalk area.

They added new paint, new lights and updated the store. Plus they finally fixed the wood that I personally tripped on before. They really made the area look great and now all the rides work. They even made changes to Scooby Doo. I really think they cleaned up the area for future rides and attractions to be added. I don't see how this is not a gain.

The SS Overboard (they plasma cut the hinges)

Just re discovered the forum after many years!

 

I work construction and came upon the old SS overboard today during one of our projects at a local Metal Recycle!

 

Seems like the demo company who Six Flags hired sold it for scrap to a local yard. I wonder what exactly malfunctioned on it, I'm guessing it was probably the safety restraints

 

Anyways enjoy!

Yesterday Theme Park Review was invited to Media Day for the Fiesta Bay Boardwalk adding three new thrills, new games, new Jelly Belly, and new boards.

 

Overall the area looks fantastic, the upgrades were just what the doctor ordered to round out the offerings at the park and bring everything together. Sporting the only Zamperla Mega Disk-O in state of Texas known as Hurricane Force 5 you'll enjoy great views of the boardwalk while feeling the wind in your hair (ok, I don't have hair, I call it an aerodynamic design, less wind resistance) Anywho, RIP Frisbee.

 

Made in Texas you'll find the classic Tilt-A-Whirl known as Spinsanity and it's next door neighbor the Larson Loop known as Fireball. Fireball is actually a lot of fun, has some crazy hangtime, and fits perfectly on the boardwalk with its cousins. Outside of a Himalaya (fine, you know I have a weakness for Reverchon's) I can't think of many rides that could complement the Boardwalk any better. New LED lighting and sound system will keep the party going after dark.

 

Of course you can't forget about Scooby, he's gotten an upgrade with a moving platform bringing the parks offering of moving platform rides to 4(who can name the other 3?) El Presidente Neal tells me their big focus is to munch people through the lines as quickly as possible and the moving platform on Scooby has done just that. For anyone who has been to the park you've probably experienced how fast they can move a line, afterall, more rides, more fun right? And like I told Neal, and I don't take this lightly, I really feel with all of the improvements to an already great park, the friendliness, cleanliness, and overall operations, they are the premier park in the chain.

 

So get out and checkout the new spin and spews on the boardwalk, just eat a funnel cake first

There's something about walking a red carpet that makes you feel like a million bucks, even if you only have 2 bucks.

Snazzy.

I can see this area becoming a very popular group venue.

Fire Line, Do Not Cross.

"Hey, Fire peeps, look at me, I have fire! Look at me!!"

 

The ceremonial first riders were from San Antonio Fire-Rescue and on hand was a fire lady to demonstrate why playing with fire is fun and awesome.

71201050_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay151.jpg.e9ac8f993b39e541e1a911e93a5c2e2a.jpg

Maybe that's the fire they were looking at? Nah, they were all strapped in and ready to ride!

Fireball and the new Fiesta Bay Boardwalk is officially open!

Hang 10 fellas

After ride time it was food time. And yeah, these are mini wieners, and yeah, the ones with carrot and cucumber and sriracha sauce, amazing.

Om nom nom nom

The new Jelly Belly store has a Freestyle Machine in it! They even have dog food flavor Jelly Bellys!

1811531136_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay037.jpg.c1c649a887c734a3758edaa713d2ced7.jpg

After food time it was ride time. Oh yeah, frito pies, corn dogs, ice cream bars, mini hot dogs, it was all good going down.

And sometimes what goes down must come up. Thankfully no reversal of fortunes here.

1124565672_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay069.jpg.1bea145f98cb1817bbb37211e7641c1e.jpg

Just a good classic, yet modern, Tilt called Spinsanity Looks great!

Hi Larry!

1667367668_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay013.jpg.15e6cfe44ee4b0701e2af86a9fef9bae.jpg

Hurricane Force 5 is the only Mega Disk-0 in the Region!

603910565_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay030.thumb.jpg.d50f00b6eaab24e4b3c6b457c11bc3fc.jpg

Great Views!

A storm must be brewing

150634888_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay215.jpg.f05aeb5375d43ea5a59bfec8ceb5ff9a.jpg

Throw your legs in the air like you just don't care and be prepared to be blown away. I know, it's the best I could come up with.

2018440569_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay021.jpg.cb34cf922416c0fd072366bb131d90bd.jpg

The main attraction would be the Fireball

1675660443_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay076.jpg.52eccfc2a75bee3c944d3471f9250843.jpg

So huge that it has it's own snack shack!

Yo, Larry.

1860333785_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay082.jpg.0902298396033243f677ff3846b73fea.jpg

Hot Rod style ride vehicles compliment the theme of the are well, a perfect fit!

2048607293_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay038.jpg.96f9facd1050e2d66453ec4bb824177f.jpg

But here's a surprise! This snack stand will have a separate window just for drink refills! No more waiting in line behind people wanting $50 worth of cotton candy! I love this park!

More views from the boardwalk

You can even grab a seaside chair and watch people lose their belongings while hanging 10 on Fireball.

382676096_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay045.thumb.jpg.549f9c9c480af5a6a2cd5bfb0149f027.jpg

Certainly an area that people will be drawn and want to stay in, kudos to Neal, Jeffery and the entire team! Thanks for having us out and don't forget in June the Superman Virtual Reality Coaster will come to life!

1482457470_SFFTBoardwalkMediaDay060.thumb.jpg.81db5a20c6ccf06ff686ee744302bd8e.jpg

And there you have it, comment away, but most importantly, follow the wiener, just not too close, you don't want to have an accident.

i heard a rumor about pandemonium will be taken out in 2017, or 2018, & will build an gci, or gravity group wooden coaster, but still they have space over there! but i hope pandemonium will stay!

 

 

Well it looked like there was a pandemonium coaster on that picture of Six Flags Dubailand. I hardly doubt they'll build a new one, so maybe it'll be SFFT's coaster that goes over there and SFFT maybe will get a brand new shiny coaster to replace it.
