Park News - (7/27/10) The new hours for Holiday In The Park at SFFT have now been posted to the official website calendar for November and December.
    (7/17/10) I’m told that SF Fiesta Texas does still plan on opening up for Holiday In The Park as well as for the Thanksgiving weekend and such, it’s just that they haven’t posted the new hours yet. If you look at the official calendar, most of the dates the park will be opened, while greyed out, come up as TBD when you mouse-over them, instead of saying CLOSED. 
    (7/12/10) I’ve been sent a short list of the various cutbacks that have been put on Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Apparently attendance at the San Antionio area theme park is still fairly low (for SeaWorld and Six Flags) so the park is now closing at 9pm instead of 10pm every Saturday this summer. The park will also shut down completely after September 12 for two weeks, only to reopen on October weekends through to Nov. 14th when they will close for the winter. I’m told that previously the park had planned to be open for at least one or two more weekends, likely through to the extended Thanksgiving weekend, but that is off the table now. Entertainment has also taken a hit as I’m told that the Justice League characters, along with Mr. Six, were given their walking papers.

2010 - New Shows - (2/8/10) Six Flags Fiesta Texas has announced a lineup of live show entertainment for the 2010 season. Three new shows will launch this year: Ritmos del Corazon (a Latin music show at Teatro Fiesta), Straight Country  (live band playing bluegrass and country favorites) and Dick Clark’s Face the Music (interactive trivia music show at Sangerfest Halle). The park will also be part of the Starburst Summer Concert Series with a variety of performances in the Lone Star Lil’s Amphitheater. Popular existing shows returning include: Show Stoppin’, Rockin’ at Rockville High and The Lone Star Spectacular laser and fireworks extravaganza. The park will open for the season on March 6th.

2011 - The Lone Star Spectacular - Confirmed - (9/1/10) According to this article, SFFT will be adding a new fireworks and laser show in 2011. The Lone Star Spectacular will feature a new storyline, effects and more. They also confirm that the park’s Zaragoza Theater will have a new show in 2011.

2012/2013 - The Rattler Reborn - Rumor - (4/21/10) If you’ve even ridden The Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, you can see why Six Flags would be very interested in fixing it.  After all, when the ride first opened it was considered to be one of most intense wooden coasters ever built… too intense, as it was quickly altered and had the first drop shortened. But want to see another reason fixing The Rattler is a good idea?  Check out the video clip embedded below (jump ahead about 35 seconds) showing off just how much the coaster’s wooden structure can sway when the train rolls through. It’s kind of scary actually…

    (4/20/10) The latest rumor to buzz my way from Fiesta Texas indicated that the park may not even wait to see if the refurbished Texas Giant is any good or not, and may be making plans to begin their own massive renovation of The Rattler as early as this fall. Much like how the new Texas Giant is going to have a modified and improved layout, I’m told that there is a definite plan to return The Rattler to it’s former glory, restoring the ride’s first drop to it’s full and intended height as well as other improvements throughout. More when we find out.
    (4/16/10) Screamscape sources tell us that if the reborn Texas Giant rocks as hard as we think it will when it reopens in 2011… look for the construction crews to start working their way South about 5 hours, as The Rattler is expected to be “fixed” next.
