I love me some high thrill roller coasters! In the northwest part of San Antonio near La Cantera…read morewhere I10 meets Loop 1604 lies the closest Six Flags theme park (with roller coasters) to Houston since Astroworld closed decades ago. I've been to this particular Six Flags location over 25 times over my lifetime, and it has a great mix of rides for everyone. In my opinion, there are better Six Flags theme parks like Six Flags over Texas in Arlington and Six Flags Great America in Chicago, but this one in San Antonio is pretty good. It comes with several high thrill ride options like Iron Rattler (my favorite), Superman Krypton Coaster, and Wonder Woman. It also has lots of tamer rides for all ages. The food options are also pretty good, especially Johnny Rockets (those burgers and fries are amazing). As for crowds, it's hit or miss. Just know that on weekends around Halloween, Fright Night gets pretty packed. Same for Christmas at the Park. I once waited in line for over 2 hours to ride Iron Rattler. Less busy times like early May before the real summer kicks off, wait times are all less than 30 minutes even for the popular rides. There is also a water park directly connected inside the park so that's super convenient. In Dallas the water park is completely separate. As for pricing it's gone up over the years (even parking is $40 now whereas it was $20 not too long ago), but compared to the high end theme parks like Disney and Universal, Six Flags is very affordable. Enjoy!

Six Flags Over Texas is easily one of the more visually unique parks in the chain …read more The setting really stands out - it's built against a quarry wall, which gives it a cool backdrop you don't see at most theme parks. I also loved the consistent Hispanic/fiesta-style theming throughout the park. It adds a fun, vibrant energy that makes the whole place feel lively and different. Getting into the park was surprisingly smooth and fast, which is always a great way to start the day. Once inside, the atmosphere is super energetic with lots going on, but be ready for crowds - especially on busy days. A couple things to plan for: parking is pretty expensive ($39 for general and $55 for premier), so keep that in mind when budgeting your trip. Also, the Texas heat is no joke, so definitely come prepared with water, sunscreen, and maybe a game plan to stay cool. Overall, it's a fun, high-energy park with a unique look and vibe. If you can handle the heat and crowds, it's a great place to spend the day.

I really like this ride a lot as it is a thrilling ride. I think I have to ride more of this ride…read moreas the ride was running pretty slow that day. The two times I have been to this park they only been running only 1 train on a busy day. The other problem was that that 1 train had 8 closed seats so operations will be slow and even though the line does not seem short, the line will move slow. I wonder why they do not fix the seats to the train or why there is not another cart other than they want to preserve the wear the tear. The drop is cool and going upside down twice is awesome. Would definitely recommend the ride, but would suggest going to this one first.

New and exciting? Yes. Cutting-edge, '4D', and "first of…read moreits kind"? Hardly. Six Flags touted their most recent installation of a Batman themed roller coaster as being unlike anything else anywhere on the planet [more on that later]. What makes this ride unique is that you're situated on either side of the track, not above or below it. At certain points along the (short) course, magnetic kickers induce rotation which provides riders with 6 or more flips per go. Each 2-person car is free to rotate on its axis, completely independent of the other car's motion, so in a sense every ride is different. But because I'm a roller coaster enthusiast, I know that nothing at all makes this coaster '4D', like the promotional materials state. The track layout is planar and the cars only have uniaxial rotation........so where do the other 'D's' come into play? Also, this isn't the first of its kind, since coaster manufacturer Intamin has 3 of these 'freespin' models scattered around the world and 1 in California. There's essentially nothing new or ground-breaking with this variant of Batman: The Ride, even though Six Flags marketing states otherwise. Don't buy into their nonsense propaganda!! That being said, it's a fairly intense ride, great for teens and adrenaline junkies like yours truly. Riding this was one of the ONLY times I've ever had to remove my sunglasses, for fear of having them knocked off my head from the jarring motions. The elevator-style lift was enjoyable, and the randomness of the rotations keeps you on your toes. As luck would have it, I wound up oriented noggin-first during the coaster's biggest drop, so all the blood rushed straight to my head. That was pretty wild. Few people will notice, but early on in the queue line is an indoor area with various Batman stuff, among them a legit hologram of the coaster car. It was one of the only times I saw ride theming at SFFT, and the refined hologram was a very sleek touch. The Batmobile was nice and shiny, too. Definitely worth a ride on your trip to Fiesta Texas. Just don't go into it thinking that it's the only one of its kind in the world, cuz, well......it's not.
