Six Flags Theme Parks
Park News - (5/27/2024) There has been some fuss over the fact that starting in late June, Six Flags over Texas will close the entire park each week on Tuesdays for the entire Summer. This is a bit of a surprise to the local market, as this is also the original Six Flags theme park that started the chain. Naturally guests in other markers have been concerned about their own parks making similar changed to their operational schedules.
Going through the posted calendars for all the parks on the Six Flags website, I’ve only been able to find the following items of interest.
Six Flags Mexico is closed Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from now through to July 10, and following that the park is closed every Monday through to the last week of August when they appear to move to mainly weekend ops.
2024 - Nothing is known at this time...
2025 - New Roller Coaster Canceled - (9/20/2024) This is sort of a rumor based on the concept of another rumor, but according to what Screamscape has been hearing the proposed new roller coaster that was going to Six Flags Mexico is said to have been canceled and sent to another park in the chain. The last official thing posted was that the original site for the proposed roller coaster was going to result in too many trees being cut down, and a local protest of this pushed the local government to not approve the original building permits.
A statement from Six Flags Mexico said that they would relocate the project elsewhere on the property so that no trees needed to be lost and re-apply, but after that everything went silent. For whatever reason, it sounds like the park and government were unable to come to terms on a site in enough time to begin construction, so for now I’m hearing that the project is off.
One of the popular rumors over the summer was that Six Flags Mexico was looking to get a Vekoma Tilt Coaster… and while this rumor was always unverified for Six Flags Mexico, it is interesting to note that Cedar Point did just officially announced their own Vekoma Tilt Coaster project out of thin air.
 2026 - New Roller Coaster - (11/14/2024) A press release from Six Flags today confirmed that the company is planning to spend over $1 BILLION on the parks over the next two years. Some of this will come in the form of enhancements to the guest experience, such as new themed areas, dining upgrades and technology enhancements. While we’ve seen the 2025 capital projects ($500 million) already announced, they decided to post a list of teasers of what they are already confirming will come to some of the parks in 2026 as part of another $525 million capital investment plan.
Six Flags Mexico made the 2026 list, and rightfully so after losing their 2025 coaster project to Cedar Point as Siren's Curse. Unfortunately, it looks like the 2026 plans to bring a new roller coaster to Mexico will have to be a little smaller than what was originally planned, as they are now only saying that the park will get “a family thrill boomerang coaster”.
