Park News - (1/12/2025) It has been rumored for awhile now, but I’m being told that Titan at Six Flags over Texas is now closed for the next couple of month to be repainted. If this follows the previous rumors, we can expect to see the ride get an entirely new color scheme. The last one that was rumored would see Titan take on a more Dallas Cowboys style color, with silver supports and blue track… which is essentially a copy of Millennium Force at Cedar Point. (1/5/2025) A reader sent in a few photos from Six Flags over Texas showing off the current progress on the demolition of La Vibora.
(12/12/2024) For those who have been waiting to see what has been taking place at Six Flags over Texas, some pictures showing the removal of La Vibora were posted on FB a couple of days ago. While it’s hard to tell without more photos, the interesting thing is that in the few images we are seeing, the bobsled track sections appear to have been taken apart and set down carefully. This stands in stark contrast to how the crews are cutting and ripping Green Lantern apart at Six Flags Great Adventure. Yet, I have serious doubts that Six Flags is trying to sell this ride to anyone, but as I believe this was the last functional Intamin Bobsled coaster in the world, perhaps they are just salvaging a few pieces of track and a bobsled to be shipped off to the National Roller Coaster Museum for preservation.
(11/29/2024) I’m not sure if this is going to happen, but there is a rumor that Six Flags may be looking at repainting Titan at Six Flags over Texas and using some entirely new colors. We know Six Flags is currently repainting a number of their larger hypercoasters right now, with work starting on Goliath at SFMM and SFOG, with the later getting an entirely different color scheme. In the case of Titan however… the rumors seem to indicate that they might try to give it a Dallas Cowboys style makeover, with silver/grey supports and a deep blue track, not unlike Millennium Force at Cedar Point. It would sort of make sense, considering that SFOT is located just down the street from the team’s massiver AT&T Stadium. Keep in mind work has not started on any of this, though there are some claims that some patches of test paint may have been applied in the maintenance or brake run area. Anyone have photos? (11/17/2024) For those wondering, Six Flags over Texas has confirmed the current closure and plans in place to remove La Vibora and El Diablo from the park. The rides near the front of the park are being removed to make way for a “record-breaking dive roller coaster” coming in 2026, but the details of this new attraction wont be announced until sometime during the Summer of 2025. (11/9/2024) Interesting things are afoot at Six Flags as the current season comes to a close. Changes are coming, and based on the swirling rumor-mills, many parks may see a ride or two close for good this winter, especially at the legacy Six Flags parks. Most of these rumors have been focused on what’s going on at Six Flags Great Adventure, but from what I’m starting to hear, Six Flags over Texas may have already closed down a ride or two that may not return. In the case of SFOT, the word going around is that some early site demolition work may have already started near the front of the park in preparation to remove La Vibora and maybe even El Diablo. The two are located very close to each other, and clearing them out would provide the park a sizable space to add something new near the front of the park as early as 2026. The demolition here may also have some kind of impact on the park’s railroad as well. From the sound of things, this may be only the start of unexpected closures across the Six Flags chain this winter, as it sounds like the new corporate office is looking to trim the fat a bit by removing attractions that are older, difficult to maintain, or those with high operational costs that no longer run high on guest satisfaction ratings.
2025 - Splash Island at Hurricane Harbor - (8/18/2024) News from Hurricane Harbor got lost in the shuffle when some of the bigger Six Flags parks made announcements for the 2025 season last week. The Arlington waterpark has announced on their website that they will be adding a new water fortress attraction area called Splash Island for the 2025 season. The large complex will feature a 1,000 gallon dumping bucket of water at the top, and appears to offer 7 new small waterslides that will launch off the structure. If that wasn’t enough, the park will also add a collection of 6 micro slides for the smallest guests to enjoy in another splash area next to the water fortress.
2026 - Dive Machine 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 over Texas made the list for 2026 capital projects, and with a big one. Look for the original Six Flags park to add “a record-breaking dive coaster” to the park this year. I’d look to what they’ve got going in to Six Flags Great America in 2025, Wrath of Rakshasa” as a sort of guide as to what SFOT can expect in 2026… just a little bit bigger.
2028 - Six Flags Entertainment will have the Option to purchase 100% Ownership of the Six Flags over Texas property. For more details, click here.
