Six Flags Fiesta Texas (SFFT) Discussion Thread

Cutting it a little close, but SFFT finally released the schedule for the upcoming Roller Coaster Rodeo this morning.

this is an EXCELLENT event (with, honestly, the biggest selling point being that your badge works as VIP Flash Pass Access *all* day Friday & Sunday too. . . .so while you'll be too busy to use it on Saturday, it works all day before the event officially starts Friday, and all day after the event ends Sunday at Noon).

some changes this year and I'm a little bit sad they seem to have gotten rid of some of the "rodeo games" / "scavenger hunt". . . but mostly, I'll miss the Friday night "Frightfest" they had been doing for attendees in prior years, complete with two houses.    But I can get over that, as we're having an ERT DCU party instead.   (and it looks like Saturday morning ERT has been added to allow day time rides on the Crackaxle rides. . if i'm correct in my guess that's what "wild west sunrise shindig" is.

it's a great event, and so worth the cost!

Jeffrey was teasing something coming in 2027 during the Rodeo presentation. It must be big if we are talking about 2027 now

 

I’m wondering if we could get a FT92 this year to talk about 2026 or it gonna be a skip year til next year

fantastic weekend at RCR, and I'll get a trip report up in the near future.

Rattler mentioned Jeffrey's tease about 2027 - and I'm assuming that means really nothing will be added in 2026 (unless they put in a new ride onto the Kid Flash pad, once it gets demolished - as of right now, the ride entrance is totally walled off, which is a shame as the whole rest of the ride IS visible thru the chain link around the rest of the ride.   So gotta wonder if they will eventually just wall it all off).

but expecting something big to be announced for the 35th anniversary in 2027.   Perhaps that wood "out and back" on the boardwalk, that would fit perfectly in that area (and that side of the park could use another coaster).    I asked that in private to someone and got a raised eyebrow. . . so who knows that that means

in other news, tho Jeffrey was at the park during Fri/Sat for Rodeo (he had to go to Houston on Sun, and Jeff F. from SFOT (who used to be at SFFT) came down to represent). . . the new park GM, Robert, really ran RCR, and it was so smooth.   He was out and about, and I interacted with him several times - got a pic with him, so I'll post that in my report.     So while the individual parks might not have Park Presidents any longer?  they will have General Managers dealing with the day to day stuff.

Do you think there's any chance it can be saved? I can't remember if there were any announcements or reports of you finding out.
