Santos I absolutely love going there during Halloween season . But Christmas season is my favorite . Especially when going on the Sky Screamer & looking around at all the lights around the park .
The goliath is not awkwardly placed it's perfect and quite a beautiful rollercoaster. It really let's you know what you're getting into when you walk into the park
This park definitely has a Knotts Berry Farm feel and thats why I love watching and hearing about this park because it brings a smile to me because as a Californian, I love Knotts so much!
That construction is for a carousel. It closed at the end of the season last year to make way for Wonder Woman. Where this gift shop is now is where the carousel originally was.
it's almost ready to open too.. probably ~1-2 more week? (They have the base and the top sidings up).. . The refurbished horses have been in the queue from the old Scooby Doo for most of this season (and look fantastic). Then we just have to wait for the new Dark Ride to open!
I always hear people say how SFOG is one of the most beautiful Six Flags parks, but this one definitely looks to be the best IMO. So many unique areas, buildings, themeing, and landscaping.
Daniel Worley I feel like I hear that all the time and I don’t get it. SFOG is my home park and it’s pretty messy looking. It’s pretty in places, but this park looks much nicer overall.
I went to your homepark and what I liked the most was the terrain. The trees and it's kind of hilly but the operations were TERRIBLE. SFFT is nice because it's newer and the Quarry Wall adds to it but as a park of RIDES, its pretty lame. It IS very clean though. EXTREMELY clean and on hot days, since the water park is part of your ticket, the rides are more easy to get on.
the rides are lame? hmmm. . . maybe not all to your liking, but besides the setting, it really is the most well rounded Six Flags park I've ever been to: Floorless Coaster (Superman) Suspended Coaster (Goliath) Hybrid Coaster (Iron Rattler) Spinning Coaster (Pandemonium) Launched Coaster (Poltergeist) S&S Freespin (1st of it's kind): Batman RMC Raptor mono-track (1st of it's kind) Wonder Woman Terrain/Mine Train (unique version too) Roadrunner a Boomerang. Watercoaster (in the watermpark section.. with a Single Rider Line!) and some really unique flats in Hustler, and Bug's Rapids it will have a dark ride again soon, when they finish the update to what used to be Scooby Doo (it's going to be a pirate theme). and as you note, the waterpark is included. . . a perk, and on hot days, makes lines shorter for everything else. it really does have a great, well rounded line up of coasters & rides.
They need one ASS KICKING coaster then they will be fine but they could have done soooo much MORE with the rattler but they removed the WHOLE helix on top of the quarry and the one after the tunnel. As far as Superman, well it was the SHYT back in the day but some much more has been done coaster wise since the installment of Superman which is now mediocre. Goliath is nothing but Batman the Ride and the Great White at SeaWorld. Everything else is just a piece of a coaster. Batman isnt even a coaster, Roadrunner is lame, Pandemonium is at the other park up the street and just a wild mouse and WonderWoman could have been 2 seats across and 1000 more feet of track. SixFlags just does ENOUGH to put it slightly over a traveling carnival.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas is a great place to visit with family... my favorite ride still the Superman very enjoyable. Great video thanks for taking the time to share,
SFFT is my home park, Its a really great park. And even though I have visited here a ton of times I still managed to learn some new things during your visit!
this was a cool vid man bahaha. this is my home park & you made it seem so much more interesting than i thought it was. i never realized how much the quarry wall plays a part in the park/rides.
megan corpuz same here. I've been going here since the 90's and never really thought of it using the quarry in the landscape. I guess I took it for granted.
I love Fiesta Texas. I grew up about 10 miles from it. I can remember before those apartment buildings were around the park, we used to park on a hill behind the park and watch the fireworks on the Fourth of July, lol. We always felt like it was always too crowded on the Fourth to actually go in. I have a lot of memories of hanging out with my friends in the Spasburg food court. I don’t know is they still do, but they used to sell really good bratwurst and schnitzel there, and there’s a stage where they’d sometimes do live polka music. The park originally was set up as almost a knock-off of the original Six Flags, but instead of the six flags of Texas, it was set up with the different major cultures that first settled in San Antonio and the surrounding area (which is primarily Mexican and German). I definitely recommend going around Halloween. The weather is better and Fiesta Texas’ Halloween celebrations are great!
Fun fact, "Goliath" was originally "Batman The Ride" in Six Flags New Orleans until the park was devastated by Hurricane Katrina and relocated to Fiesta Texas.
So hyped for the Giant Discovery coming, they’re easily my favorite kind of flat ride. Getting to Crazanity was amazing and it’ll be nice to not have to drive like 5 hours to get to a Giant Discovery
Just made my first visit to SFFT with the family over the Thanksgiving (2021) week. LOVED IT!! Best Six Flags park I've been to. My son and I rode Iron Rattler four times (including twice in the front and once in the back) in just over an hour. Granted it was the first hour the park was open. We actually were in the front seat on the first ride of Rattler that day (Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving).
That's right, leave the water park to the water park professional, haha. Really good review as always. Shame you missed Road Runner. It's one of the best mine train rides.
I live here in San Antonio, and I've been going to this park since before Six Flags even owned it....so sometimes its easy to overlook all the cool things this park actually has. When you've ridden all these rides 1,000x each, I get bored easily, but I can totally see where a first time visitor would be in heaven.
I've been there as a kid. I remember the Wagon Wheel, That ship ride at the boardwalk, Scooby Doo: Ghostblasters, and the halloween haunted house event they did a long time ago. (I've also been on the Rattler when it was still made of wood. It jerked a lot more back then. It was impossible to escape without bruises.) I can also honestly say that I've been on the Superman: Krypton Coaster when I was too small to ride it. There was also a gokart ride you didn't have to pay for, but that was also removed. The cars had radios too. Big sad.
Poltergeist almost always runs 1 train operations.. but I have been there one time this season (thus far), where they had both trains running. on Father's Day, it was 1 train ops tho. It also does not tend to open until after 12. So don't run there right away, but after about Noon, if you see it cycling? head over before the line gets nuts.
Thank you so much, me and my friends are going here for a birthday party! And we have been planning but we don’t know what to ride, so I watched this and made a list of rides! Thank you💕 (Earned a new sub!)
When all rides are up and running this park is hard to beat. Easy to get around and a great setting with quarry walls, I liked how they were incorporated into some of the rides. They have since installed this pendulum ride called the joker that is unreal. I suggest going on a spring or fall date.
Would you say this park is better than six flags over texas? I can only visit one I don't know which is better. I'm from Ohio so I've never been to either of them.
I just visited today and had an awesome experience while I was there I noticed the underconstruction fun ride and took a peek... it seemed to be a carousel but not entirely sure. Edited: Sorry I was just scrolling through the comments and noticed someone else said the something . I didn't want to repeat really sorry bout that
Fiesta Texas Pros: -Superman -Roadrunner -Iron Rattler Cons: -HOT AS HELL most of the time making it miserable. -Food will literally make you sick. Do NOT eat the food. -Best rides are off 6 months of the year. -Parking spaces are too small. -Not nearly as much shade as needed.
Lianna Banana Really?! Samee my friends and I have been talking about ever single ride we want to get on! And tmr we're getting on EVERY SINGLE RIDE!! We're also going for a band trip! Its about 4 hours away for us so we have to get up at 3am! XD
@@Stephanie-up1kx : OMGGGG 3 hours away! im 2 hours away and were leaving at 6 in big fancy charter bus ;)! But were doing some middle school comp thing at like 9 and then get to six flags at 10 and staying until the park closes
The thing they were building is a carousel and ITS A SHAME YOU DIDNT GET TO SEE VINAL COUNTDOWN EASILY MY FAVORITE SHOW THERE EVER!!! Fiesta Texas is my home park and I hope you had a great time I always do :)
The big theater up front is actually large enough to house full Broadway productions. It actually has an orchestra pit. I took a backstage tour there once.
Fun fact: wonderwoman was the first rollercoaster i rode with a loop on it... Personally the drop was rough... But poltergeist was my fave that day. In that day i decided to be brave and rode atleast half of the biggest rollercoasters ^·^ ill do the rest soon because i live near san Antonio so wish me luck.
I consider Fiesta Texas to be my home park and I completely agree about the outrageous food and drink lines. It’s a problem. Poltergeist normally does run two trains on peak days. When I last went, Fireball didn’t even have its train on it. The really big theater at the front of the park is really big inside, though it is a little dated. It could benefit from a remodel. Someone else commented about how the rides are fairly short and I kind of have to agree. Superman is the only ride that is what most people would consider a long ride. Iron Rattler, Wonder Woman, Poltergeist and Batman which are some of their poster attractions, are all way too short. And Goliath, which is a mirror clone of the other Batman inverts, is rougher than the Batmans in my experience. I rode the Batman at Over Texas recently and it was much less “head-banger-y” than Goliath.
I'd always go to Fiesta Texas for Iron Rattler, Superman, Poltergeist, Road Runner, and Wonder Woman. It's always fun to do Scream, Sky Screamer, the flume, and the Dark Ride, but really those are the draws for it but their waterpark is also cool to check out.
Fun fact, the Goliath was trucked in from Houston, cleaned up and repainted, where it served as Batman: the Escape at AstroWorld. It is a mirror of a ride in Arlington's Six Flags over Texas. Where one goes right, the other goes left. Fun opinion, it's a mediocre roller coaster and makes a great filter, as the masses see it first leaving the Superman with short lines if you get there early.
To some of your questions/comments: Yes, Poltergeist usually runs two trains, and the line is so slow when they don't. RoadRunner has WAY better theming when it opened, but it was (I believe) the first coaster added when Six Flags bought the park (Rattler was the only coaster there before), so it's really, really old, and they've removed some of the broken elements. The rock you showed used to have Wile E. Coyote pushing a boulder onto the train, but the hydraulics broke, and rather than fix it, they just removed it. It's a decent mine train coaster, but don't be too disappointed you missed it. The theater in the front is pretty cool. I saw an almost Cirque du Soliel style acrobatic show there a while back. I've been going there since it opened in 1992, and it was kind of a joke back then, but over the years, they've built it out, and put in so many good rides, it became lowkey one of the best parks I've been to.
This is considered "my home park," yet I've never seen it this cleaned up. It's usually quite dirty and need of refurbishment. You've presented this park like it was 2012 again! Nice review though :)
yep. . waiting for a custom part. . apparently the part they got was not the correct size? and it's something that takes ~2months to manufacture. they told me when I was there on Father's Day that they were hoping to have it back open by end of July. . guess we shall see
Went here once around easter of 2017 and most of the ride were not working. I got to ride Goliath and Gully Washer and they were fun. 10/10 Would like to visit again
Hello I’m a big fan of your RU-vid channel and I love all your videos. I live near fiesta Texas and go there like every other day and would love to meet up with you sometime that be us to Texas
yep. . intense in any seat, and super fast. Front seat will give you floater air, and the back seat has serious ejector air. . . really, if you ride it multiple times in the back? you'll end up with bruises on your shoulders from the seat belts in the harness
My grandma says that sometimes they play the oldies but goodies and I went last year. 2018 and I loved it when I heard them I went on the fireball 5 times bcuz my siblings dared me it's too scary I'm going this Sunday or Saturday and I plan on going on the batman
i actually went here a couple weeks ago, where it says "Fun under construction" they're building a carousel.....btw, Superman is the best ride, wonder Woman, is intense, Batman, had me hurting afterwards lol, Iron Rattle still terrifies me yet i still get on, i still have no clue why they only have 1 car for poltergeist, goliath is always fun, and yes, it's been repainted, and now i know why roadrunner is closed...i always said they should have a sign saying that Wile coyote tried "fixing it" lol, and i remember seeing there being a fun gag at the top of new texas giant, but there's nothing on iron rattler, which is a shame, like bugs should be on top with a "yikes" sign.
As someone who doesn't like rollercoasters, I can still say the Iron Rattler is amazing. Batman is kinda meh though. Whenever we go they're running empty cars.
