Six Flags Over Texas (SFOT) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Anyone know whether or not the Shockwave will have the virtual reality during HITP? I miss being able to ride without having to stand in line for over an hour...

 

VR is done for the year. The signage has been changed back to Shock Wave and the equipment has been removed from the train freeing up that row. Details on any VR options for next year will be released by the park at a time of their choosing.

Magic Mountain is the only park in the chain, that is getting the Santa's Wild Sleigh Ride.

As of Saturday, November 19th, no, The Joker has not gone vertical. The footers need 30 days to set before they start putting the supports in. Although the supports are laying next to the footers ready to be place, which is near the newly DEMOLISHED STRIP MALL! Yea. They started tearing it out. I was shocked!

^Trevor Eitel of Texas Thrill Seekers has spoken with park management. Apparently, there could be a mystery attraction to be built in the old strip mall area. This mystery attraction would open along with the Joker next spring. My guess would be some sort of flat ride, or maybe bumper cars.

I just came from SFOT and it was a pretty short day as I only stayed for 2 hours. I'll post the rest of the pictures when I get them from my camera.

Not SFOT related, but here's a picture of the AT&T stadium

We were heading to the Texas section but we got to SFOT before the Park opened so we had to wait.

At this point me and my dad were exiting the park

And at this point we were off. Goodbye SFOT

I went by the park this past Holiday weekend to get some photos from Holiday In the Park. The park looks stunning, and I love the new Deep In The Heart Of Christmas over in Boomtown. This is one of the best looking Holiday In the Park events I've ever seen here at SFOT. If you get a chance, you should check it out! Happy Holidays!

I went by the park last night to check on the construction progress and was able to get some pictures before the sun went down. I'm hearing through the Grapevine, that the park may be shooting to open this ride during Opening Weekend. Hopefully the weather cooperates and they are able to get the ride built in time.
