SIX FLAGS FIESTA TEXAS
San Antonio, Texas
Six Flags Theme Parks
 Park News - (3/22/2025) As we begin the 2025 theme park season, keep in mind that a number of parks will be once again putting strict chaperone policies in place, barring underage guests from visiting the parks on their own after a certain time of day.
The first such reminder that I think I’ve seen this year so far comes from Six Flags Fiesta Texas who states that guests age 15 or younger must be with an official chaperone (age 21 and up) to be admitted or remain in the park after 4pm. If underage guests are found in the park after 4pm, they will be subject to ejection from the park.
Interestly enough, the time of date that the Chaperone policy goes into effect may be changed at any time, as to best serve the park’s needs. The statement says that, “Six Flags Fiesta Texas reserves the right to begin enforcing the Chaperone Policy earlier on any given day.” So just because you made it in before 4pm, if your fellow guests start acting foolish in an inappropriate way at any time during the day, they can just opt to remove all underage guests at any given time without warning and no longer have to wait until 4pm.
So things may get a little interesting if you arrive in the morning and see a bunch of school, church or daycare buses in the parking lot.
(3/8/2025) Screamscape sources have confirmed that Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster is indeed being removed from Six Flags Fiesta Texas as well as Six Flags over Georgia.
(3/4/2025) Rumor has it that Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster is being removed from Six Flags over Georgia, which almost certainly means that the clone at Six Flags Fiesta Texas will also be coming down if removal rumor proves to be true.
Stay tuned!
(1/21/2025) It’s Mardi Gras season at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, with the return of the park’s Mardi Gras Festival” celebration taking place on select dates now through March 16, 2025.
The biggest Mardi Gras Parade in park history serves as the celebration’s centerpiece, featuring five brand-new, intricately designed floats alongside larger-than-life returning favorites. This expanded procession dazzles with mesmerizing street performers and an electrifying original musical score that captures the rhythm and magic of New Orleans. Guests are invited to join in the excitement by dancing, singing and merrymaking at interactive stops, making the parade an immersive experience for guests of all ages.
Food lovers can feast their eyes and tastebuds on the Taste of Mardi Gras food festival, offering a new, authentic culinary journey through Louisiana’s iconic flavors. With more festival locations than ever before, guests can savor classics like gumbo, jambalaya and beignets while discovering bold new flavors like Bacon Boudin Bites and Frozen Hurricanes. The festival’s diverse menu celebrates the distinctive and flavorful traditions of New Orleans cuisine.
"Our Mardi Gras Festival is a heartfelt tribute to the rich culture, vibrant spirit, and inspiring energy of New Orleans," said Jeffrey Siebert, park president for Six Flags Fiesta Texas. "Through dazzling parades, soulful music and authentic cuisine, we invite guests to join us in celebrating the traditions that make Mardi Gras so special ─ all while enjoying the award-winning thrills and world-class entertainment that Six Flags Fiesta Texas is known for.”
Live entertainment brings the energy of New Orleans to San Antonio, with brand-new original shows and returning favorites spread throughout the park. Highlights include the debut of The Fleur de Lis, The GummBeaux and The Voo Doo Dolls. Located in Rockville High, The Voo Doo Dolls immerses guests in an authentic New Orleans-style journey that blends music, dance, and storytelling in a captivating, high-energy show. Aerialists, interactive character meet-and-greets, and other performances across 10 entertainment locations ensure nonstop excitement for all ages.
Adding an air of mystique, the Houngan House of Voodoo invites guests to step into a world of wonder and intrigue. This walk-through attraction, included with park admission, takes guests inside a cursed French Quarter shop of curiosities filled with magical dolls, potions, charms and gris-gris.
New this year, families can enjoy Mardi’s Craft Corner, offering complimentary activities such as creating festival-themed masks and a massive color-by-number mural. Guests of all ages can contribute to the mural, turning it into a collaborative work of art while taking home their own Mardi Gras-themed crafts.

(1/18/2025) Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas has received some upgrades to celebrate the ride’s 10th anniversary at the park. In addition to new paint, the queue experience has also been updated.
(12/13/2024) Six Flags Fiesta Texas has made an interesting announcement today. The park’s currently Goliath roller coaster will be transformed and given a new identity and theme that will be a much better fit for the section of the park where it exists.
For now it looks like the Goliath logo has simply been attacked by something with large claws, which is a tease to the transformation to come, as Goliath will become Chupacabra, named after the legendary latin beast. The ride’s entry plaza will be rethemed, and based on how well the park improved their Poltergeist launched coaster, I think we’ll see some great features to come as Chupacabra makes itself at home within the Los Festivales section of the park over the months to come.
For this, I’m grateful to Six Flags Fiesta Texas for once again, standing apart from the rest of the Six Flags chain to become something more unique, with more non-generic ride names. The use of the Goliath name always seemed a bit “off” to me personally for a B&M Inverted that in all reality was just another clone of Batman: The Ride. Six Flags first coined the use of the name Goliath for several of their various Hypercoaster style projects, starting with the original Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain in 2000, followed by others like Goliath at Walibi Holland in 2002 (then Six Flags Holland), Goliath at La Ronde and Six Flags over Georgia in 2006. Then things got a little weird when the chain slapped the Goliath name on the Fiesta Texas inverted coaster in 2008, on a relocated Deja Vu coaster at SF New England in 2012 and lastly, on a custom RMC Topper Track wooden coaster at Six Flags Great America in 2014.
So for this move, I applaud. Love live Chupacabra!
2025 - 3 New Attractions and DC Universe Expansion - (2/20/2025) Six Flags Fiesta Texas will be ready to open the “Largest DC Universe Themed Area” at any amusement park in the US on March 1st, 2025. In addition to many renovations and updated ride themes, the expansion will also see three all-new rides… CYBORG Cyber Revolution, SHAZAM! Tower of Eternity and the METROPOLIS Transit Authority.
(1/26/2025) The new Metropolis Transit Authority at Six Flags Fiesta Texas is now testing.
(1/11/2025) Six Flags Fiesta Texas has posted a short video of the new Cyborg ride now making test runs at the park.
(1/6/2025) The President of Six Flags Fiesta Texas has confirmed that the lower queue for the upcoming Metropolis Transit Authority attraction will be themed to look like an “art deco train station once complete”, with white subway tiles currently being installed onto the walls.
(11/30/2024) One of our readers stopped by Six Flags Fiesta Texas last week and send back a great collection of photos showing off the state of the expanded DC Universe area’s new and rethemed attractions. Unfortunately, as you might expect, Kid Flash is still down, but the rest of the land looks spectacular, with brightly painted spot-on DC Comics themed attractions everywhere you look, including a beautiful photo of the new Metropolis Transit Authority train on the tracks!
(10/6/2024) Things are still moving forward with the construction of the updated DC Universe land at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Obviously the park missed the summer season with this, as I previously expected, but we may see it ready to open just before the end of the year at least. According to the latest photos posted to Twitter by the park President over the past week, the power bar is now being installed along the track for the Metropolis Transit Authority, construction on the queue theming for Cyborg Cyber Revolution has started, and the tower for the new Shazam! Tower of Eternity ride has also been installed.
The park also opened their new Daily Planet building this weekend, which serves as both a retail and drink shop, as well as the entrance to the Superman Krypton Coaster.
(8/31/2024) A great look at the construction taking place right now at Six Flags Fiesta Texas’s DC Universe new attractions area has been shared on social media this week. Make sure to check out all three images in the post.
(7/19/2024) Six Flags Fiesta Texas President, Jeffrey Siebert, has posted some photo updates showing off parts and pieces of some of their new DC Universe attraction pieces arriving at the park (including the Metropolis Monorail trains) as well as a look at the construction site itself.
(3/2/2024) While Six Flags Fiesta Texas has been hard to work on their DC Universe expansion project that will see three new rides added and see thematic upgrades to several more, it sounds like this could be an ongoing construction project for much of the 2024 season. Thus far the park’s focus has been in the upgrading of their existing rides to fit the new DC Universe related names and theming, but much like last year, construction on the three new rides seems to just starting as we enter March.
You may recall how the racing/dueling Kid Flash themed coasters did not open until October 2023 season. Now the local news reports that based on the permits filed with the city, the work on the three new rides is just starting now and has listed the expected completion date of October once again. In fact, new pictures posted to Facebook confirm that they are just now pouring the foundations for the Cyborg and Shazam attractions this week.
(12/10/2023) New layout concept art for the upcoming DC UNIVERSE at Six Flags Fiesta Texas can be seen below. This includes the official layout for the Metropolis Transit Authority (with station artwork) as well as logos for all the DC UNIVERSE area attractions.
(9/4/2023) Some new images of concept art for the Metropolis Transit Authority coming to Six Flags Fiesta Texas have been posted to Twitter, including a look at a proposed track layout. Keep in mind that they say these are just design concepts only shown here, so the final layout may be different from what is being shown at this time.
Screamscape has also been informed that all three new attractions coming in 2024 are being sourced from Zamperla Rides. With that in mind, I’m expecting the MTA to be a custom version of Zamperla’s “Aerial Ride” attraction system that will use a four-car train system instead of individual ride cars.
(8/30/2023) Six Flags Fiesta Texas has confirmed that the park will feature the largest DC Comics themed area of all in 2024 when they add three new attractions and re-theme several others nearby to DC comics characters.
The new rides will be:
Metropolis Transit Authority - a 16-passenger relaxing sky train aerial tour 17-feet above the DC Universe aboard Art Deco covered monorail style trains.
Cyborg Cyber Revolution - a themed Zamperla NebulaZ flat ride
Shazam! Tower of Eternity - a 70 foot rotating family drop tower experience
Meanwhile the DC Universe will be filled out by the newly rethemed rides:
Bat Girl: Coaster Chase - formerly Streamliner Coaster
The Penguin: Gotham City Getaway - formerly Rambling Road
Supergirl Sky Flight - formerly Sky Screamer
Green Lantern Emerald Flight - formerly Stunt Pilots
Poison Ivy Toxic Spin - formerly Sky Searchers
Plus the six existing DC Universe themed attractions: Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster, DC Super Villain’s Swing, Joker: Carnival of Chaos, Superman: Krypton Coaster, Batman: The Ride and Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster.
2025 - Unknown Project - (11/17/2024) Something new is in the works for Six Flags Fiesta Texas for 2025. Nothing is known so far, but filings with the local agencies show paperwork for a $1.5 million project has been filed that will take up 3,000 sqft of space, and is listed simply as “New Project”. According to the local media, the last $1.5 million project filing they saw was done back in March and was for the current D.C. Universe expansion now taking place, including three new small rides. The timeline on the paperwork says it will begin the first week of December and is expected to be complete by March 2025 for whatever it is.
Since the previously mentioned D.C. Universe expansion project for 2024 is obviously not going to be fully complete until the 2025 season, I’m thinking that there really isn’t a huge reason to bring even more new rides online for 2025, unless this is some kind of upgrade or enhancement to one of the park’s existing attractions. And speaking of upgrades, it also entirely possible that this could be something more of an infrastructure upgrade for the park, such as a new or upgraded dining facility perhaps. Just something to think about…
