Thanks @mateoalvira7826 for noticing a mistake with this video. I completely forgot to mention Boomerang. While it's a standard layout, the park did add updated trains to eliminate headbanging.
Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger is now open and it's a good ride. And the park has the Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster coming this year to give them another solid family coaster.
But I don’t think the Boomerang would be as good as the 2 RMCs or Superman Rollercoaster or Poltergist and Dr. Diabolicals Cliffhanger. I still think It would be fun.
I think I messed up in my sentence I meant to write that in my other comment to you.
The fact that they’re getting a B&M dive with a 95 degree drop might make this a contender for the best Six Flags park!
I already think it's the best Six Flags park.
It’s definitely in top 4
@@bourne8636 *top 2
The coaster collection is slowly becoming top notch, but it’s the setting and food that to me makes it number 1. They have really good bbq and it’s a really gorgeous park
It's my home park, and really the only thing we're missing is a proper hypercoaster. I know Iron Rattler is just 20 feet shy and feels taller because of the quarry wall, but I'm talking a floater airtime machine. Hell, the only proper hypercoaster in Texas is Titan, which is... not interested in airtime, to say the least.
I'd accept a wing or flying coaster, too.
Loving how all the coaster UA-camrs are saying what I’ve been knew for a decade and that is fiesta Texas is amazing! Hashtag blessed to have it as my home park
Lucky!
Not really
Same man! Going there after 3 years tomorrow will be exciting
Lmao starlit salty and jealous
Releasing a Fiesta Texas review right when they announced a new coaster be like:
I had planned this one for a while and wanted to release it before it's outdated.
My favorite employee interaction at 6FFT was the operator of the Poltergeist ride faking the riders out. He'd give an accurate 5.4.3.2.1 count, then the next group he'd give them 6.5.4.3, then start the ride. He obviously had a good time messing with people on the fast start.
I love when operators do that on launch coasters.
Looks like great park - excited to see the B&M dive coming next year!
Me too!
Six Flags Fiesta Texas is painting Poltergeist green. And I personally I agree with it, it gives a ghostly feel. This park is great. Me and my dad have been planning a texas trip and we are gonna hit both over Texas and this park but more specifically this park, this park looks like so much fun and I cant wait.
I like that they're plussing an old ride.
This is one of the two Six Flags parks I want to visit. The setting looks great! The coasters selection looks packed. I also appreciate the attention to the customer service. Great review!
Thanks!
Come thru this is my home park you won’t be disappointed!
What a TIME to post this, getting that algorithmic swing I see lol. Great vid!
I'd like to thank Comcast for taking 4-5 hours to upload this.
I made the drive down on Friday here and I agree! Best Six flags park I've been to. With the addition of DDCH next year, upgrading is line up, it will only get better. If somehow they got a hyper/giga that went on and off the quarry wall, I would have no problem saying it would be my go to park any time.
Nice!
I agree! That would make this park kinda broken if we got one hehe but I think there’s a height limit so idk if they’ll ever build a hyper/giga here
@@justjon_6844 as a civil engineer, I don’t know of any building restrictions on height in San Antonio other than not effecting the historical preservation of older buildings and some residential stuff. However the main reason there’s not taller things there now is because the quarry wall can cause major problems with wind. A giga is just wishful thinking :(
@@Treecko890 that makes sense I’ve just heard that there’s one on forums and comments but tbh the wind makes sense for any potential height limit if there is one. I think it is wishful thinking but tbh I never thought 10 yrs ago the park would become what it is now so who knows maybe we will get one someday 🤷🏾♂️
The Poltergeist cue line remodel is great. They expanded on the theme of haunted manor and even have a short walk through before entering the station.
I saw! It was a nice addition.
Your reviews from individual rides to whole parks are as good as it gets
Thanks!
I love the way Arrow, B&M, and RMC play the quarry wall! I feel like Pandemonium is kind of a misfit so maybe it can be relocated and replaced by one more coaster that interacts with the wall!
More quarry interactions are better.
Unfortunately, because the quarry wall is made of limestone, it's become prohibitively expensive for the park to interact with it much. As in, if they built a coaster that went atop the quarry wall for a few seconds, it would literally double the cost of the ride. So Six Flags either has to avoid it or save up money for several years at a time to overcome these costs.
Thorough review. Excellent job as always. Regarding coaster depth vs. Magic Mountain, Sea World San Antonio is only 20 minutes away and sports a coaster/flat ride collection that compliments Fiesta Texas almost perfectly. If you think of SWSA/SFFT as one destination, Magic Mountain and its aging ride collection doesn't measure up. Only Cedar Point currently tops San Antonio as a thrill ride destination.
San Antonio also has Schlitterbahn New Braunfels and ZDT's. If new investments continue flowing into both SFFT and SWSA at the recent pace, San Antonio will become America's top thrill ride destination within a decade.
Cotaland isn't far away either.
This week I went to Fiesta Texas for the first time with my staff on a work trip and we will now be making this annual stop every summer! I have never walked on rides the way we did here before, the queues were unbelievably empty!
It's an amazing park.
they’re getting a B&M Dive Coaster with a 95 degree drop.
Yes!
@@CanobieCoaster Will you make an analysis on the new coaster?
You did that recently.
Of course we're friendly! We're in San Antonio, Texas, big tourist town! 🙂
Next Fright Fest, check the days we're open. Come on a day Monday thru Thursday to experience a lesser crowd. Even a regular Sunday can be okay.
Some of the rides may be closed but you can still have a great time!
I loved visiting during Holiday in the Park both for the crowds and weather.
I’m going to check it out next month!
Enjoy!
I remember one of the Coaster Enthusiast channels (I think it was Airtime Thrills) say that Six Flags Fiesta Texas is the park where they experiment new ride types.
Since they have the first (in a six flags chain) 4D free-spin, RMC raptor, and one of the earlier RMC coasters, it makes sense as to why this park would also be the first Six Flags park to get a new B&M Dive coaster.
Yes this park has a lot of prototypes.
Iron Rattler was only the 2nd RMC conversion, but it was the first with an inversion. So it's still kind of a prototype (also probably the best ride in the state).
That means nothing
Love this park. And definitely agree it’s theming and employees are the best out of any six flags I’ve visited. Quality over quantity here for sure.
I agree!
Six flags did absolutely nothing. All of this is from the old park owners. I don’t know why people give praise to them
This is my favorite theme park of ever been to and one event that you didn't mention that they started doing last year that you cannot miss is roller coaster Rodeo last year it was an action-packed three-day event; that included exclusive ride time on everything and backstage tours you got to walk up on top of the cliff and the Goliath lift Hill catered dinner and it was also the day and which they started teasing for their new attraction the entire event was only $100 for 3 days
I've never been, but that sounds awesome!
I was just about to say that if you a really amazing experience at my home park of fiesta texas. Rollercoaster rodeo is the event that is a must, since this year was the first year for the event it was unknown but now that they are making it a annual event it’s definitely a highlight for the park.
Going here in a couple days. Can’t wait
Enjoy!
I have two questions:
1. Should I go to Dr. Diabolical first since it will be open when I go?
2. Will crowds be bad on a July Wednesday?
I have to think Joker and Wonder Woman will still be the two worst lines so I'd start there, especially because I think Dr. D will have a single rider line like Iron Rattler.
I've only visited on weekends. Check Queue-times.com.
So you like brisket? I recommend taking a trip to Lockhart, Texas. Probably around an hour 30minutes to about 2 hours away from Fiesta Texas. I’m from the San Antonio area and it has a lot of options for BBQ! I recommend Smitty!
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll consider that place the next time I'm driving between San Antonio and Houston.
Love this park! Unfortunately the one day I visited it was super humid and the crowds were way greater than I was expecting. Even with those factors and the day not being the best, I still recognized the park as great and one of the best Six Flags parks. With the new B&M dive announcement, what do you think about that addition for the park?
The Texas summer heat is no joke. I think the crowds will love the dive coaster. I think it's great Six Flags is working with B&M on a large coaster again and it's neat to see a beyond vertical drop. I just wish the ride went above the quarry.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah, a quarry drop would make Cliffhanger the greatest name for a roller coaster ever.
It’s disgusting here during the summer come during Nov/Dec the weather is almost perfect
@@justjon_6844 I agree the best weather starts around late October and ends early February so i would recommend going during that timeframe
When he said best I thought of how it’s been my “home” park since my first time in like 1998, haven’t been since they closed power surge I was there it’s last day and it was my last sadly too. It’s literally built amazing but it feels small each time you come back
I think you can feel that way about any home park.
I'm so glad this is my local park, the only thing it's missing imo is a hyper/giga, one of those utilizing the quarry wall would be amazing
I wish!
@@CanobieCoaster it would be nuts, I'm kind of happy we're getting the kid flash single rail dueling coaster though. I'm actually heading up there today to catch some rides
Does anyone know if all the rides be open during Holiday in the park this year (2021)? I am planning on doing a half day at Sea world SA and 1.5 days at Fiesta Texas close to the end of December. WIll that be enough time for both?
Going off last year, everything should be open except for Gully Washer. Superman can close if the temperature drops too low (seems to be around 60 degrees).
SeaWorld can easily be done in a half day if you don't intend to see all the shows.
@@CanobieCoaster Thanks man! Appreciate the content as well. I would say Yankee started it but Superman solidified me as an enthusiast. Cheers from Boston.
This is my home park and I love it! I live about 4 hours away but it's so worth it! I am going to New England in November and was disappointed that the six flags there will be closed 😔
It was open until Veteran's Day last year, but attendance has always been light post Fright Fest.
@@CanobieCoaster well I'm sure the cold would be a little hard for me to handle since I've been away from New England for so many years. Lol I will though check the schedule just to see if by chance they are open the weekend I'm there. Thanks for your response!
I hope Six Flags Over Texas gets this much love and catches up to Fiesta Texas
I hope so!
I'm curious what the new poltergeist themed que is going to be like. Fiesta is doing amazing things with que theming.
Absolutely!
can't wait for their new dive coaster
Me neither.
YASSS MY FIESTA!!! I life in San Antonio and Fiesta Texas is so cool!
Nice!
@@CanobieCoaster :D
The theming is surprisingly great
Sure is!
What a perfect time to upload this
Comcast came in clutch taking 4-5 hours to upload this.
I personally prefer Magic Mountain but only because of their insane ride line up. That said, Fiesta Texas does still have one of the best ride line ups in the chain. But when you compare this park in its entirety to every other Six Flags park then it's clear that this is by far the best overall park in the chain.
I always think of Fiesta Texas as being the Knotts Berry Farm of Six Flags. Both of those parks feel somewhat out of place in their respective chains and seem like they would belong to Herschend. And that is a serious compliment to both parks.
That's a fair comparison.
There are so many things wrong with this
I have a question for you I went here a couple weeks ago wonder woman was running slow in the middle of the day when I was open the entire day why was that
That's weird. Usually that ride hauls.
I’m lucky to have this as my local park!
Sure are!
Same i only live 2 hours away!
@@IndigoTiger_828 same here, I live in central texas
I was going to make a comment about the fortuitous timing of this video, but I see that's been thoroughly covered by others already, lol.
One thing I haven't seen talked about yet is the fact that, when Cliffhanger opens, Fiesta Texas will have four different roller coasters with a zero-G roll (five if you count Wonder Woman's second inversion as a zero-G roll rather than a corkscrew). That's got to be some kind of record?
That's the type of record Cedar Fair would publish.
@@CanobieCoaster “most trick track double ups in one park”
One of my favorite parks and the best in Texas.
Absolutely!
I hope they decide to put a hyper at the back end behind pandemonium with a turn around in the superman paddock and the final turn around in the parking lot along the wall. theme? The Flash.
That would be cool.
Is this theme park worth visiting as a destination specifically ONLY from a farther distance???
I think it's worth traveling to because of the rides and atmosphere.
Lol Magic Mountain Wears The Crown👑👑
That's my second favorite in the chain.
Now there getting a Dive Coaster to add to there collection. However to be honest I would have rathered a GCI but there new Dive Coaster looks cool.
I would have preferred a GCI too, but there already is one in the market with Texas Stingray (granted that has never stopped Six Flags before).
I think gulley washer is getting removed I went mid summer and the water was drained
I think the ride had a maintenance issue from what I heard. I suspect it will be back in the future.
This park looks cool I gotta go soon. However i dont feel like going all the way to texas.
Texas has several interesting parks.
I’m a little Surprised the Boomerang Didn’t Make Your Top 15 if it’s intense, has 4 inversions and experiences it backwards is excellent. Why didn’t the Boomerang Rollercoaster make your Top 15 Rides at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Did the ride hurt or have head banging? It’s whatever you think but I’d think it would be in the Top 15. If it’s smooth and thrilling it would probably make my Top 15.
I've ridden so many boomerangs that I prefer the park's more unique things.
@@CanobieCoaster That’s Understandable if this ride isn’t unique like the others.
Poltergeist looks crazy!
I can't wait to see the new theming it gets.
Yes. It’s the best
Of the Six Flags parks, yes.
The lineup will only get better ones Cliffhanger, their new 2022 B&M Dive comes to life!
Absolutely!
Wow Six Flags hasn’t worked with B&M since X-Flight in 2012.
Unless you count the new trains on Firehawk, yes.
Wow though, getting a 95 degree B&M dive coaster is something I want HERSHEYPARK to get
I'm not sure if Hershey would since they already have Fahrenheit.
Or at least an Intamin blitz idk :’(
It is a toss-up for me whether I like Six Flags Fiesta Texas or Great Adventure more. While Great Adventure has a stronger coaster lineup, Fiesta Texas has a lineup that isn't anything to sneeze at either. Fiesta Texas also has a wonderful atmosphere. Hurricane Bay or Harbor whatever it's called is a solid waterpark.
I prefer Fiesta. I love the atmosphere and I take Iron Rattler over anything at Great Adventure.
I love Iron Rattlers drop but X2, Millennium, Fury and Orion’s drops are better. The giga drops feel endless while X2 feels like a car accident.
I love all those drops, but I still prefer Iron Rattler's.
@@CanobieCoaster I understand you really can’t even see iron rattlers drop coming in the back row
Plus B&M dive!!!
Yes!
@@CanobieCoaster but does ot deserve all the love from dixflags. Its in a decent area. But it dosent get as much as people as over texas and some other dixflags parks?
@@CanobieCoaster im not complaning thkugh lol🤣
Iron rattler was something else
It's incredible.
i love how he posted the vid an hour befor the said hey were getting a b&M dive
Thank Comcast for taking forever to upload this.
@@CanobieCoaster lol
Shortly after you released this, they announced Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger. Coincidence?
Yes!
PLEASE DO AN ANALYSIS OF DR. DIABOLICAL'S CLIFFHANGER!
I think the ride looks good. The beyond vertical drop looks intriguing and it's exciting to see Six Flags working with B&M again. I just wish it went above the quarry wall.
Can confirm weather and crowds are the only problem with this park
True!
Plz review more six flags fiesta Texas
I made a review of Dr. Diabolical after this came out and I plan to review Poltergeist soon.
Did you know they’re getting a B&M Dive coaster? I don’t think anyone in the comments has mentioned it yet…
I saw!
😊
Awesome park.
Meanwhile minutes before the video is out they announce a B&M Dive lol
This was supposed to be uploaded before the announcement, but Comcast has super slow upload speeds.
@@CanobieCoaster lol
I want to bring my family now
It's a great park!
@@CanobieCoaster looks so fun can't wait to go
These videos were made in 2020 and 2021 and I thought Boomerang at Six Flags Fiesta Texas still ran the old trains
At that point it had the old train.
And why did you not speak about boomerang in this video?
This video has been up for years and you're the first person to catch that. Sorry that was a pretty big mistake. It's a fine ride, especially since they put new restraints on it.
I'm going there for the first time next week. Wonder women will be closed!!!! 😭
That's a bummer. Yeah it's in the middle of a big refurb.
When you described fiesta Texas, you basically described six flags Mexico. It's funny though since the park is much better than mexico
Six Flags Mexico has an elite top 2, but their coaster lineup thins out quickly.
Do six flags great adventure
I will.
I think you meant Magic Mountain is the best Six Flags park but go on., amazing video tho lol!
Thanks!
Lemme guess, you're giving it an 8, 9 or 10
I don't give overall scores to parks, but this would be a 10 if I did.
@@CanobieCoaster oh ok
NOT EVEN CLOSE SFMM IS THE BEST AND CAPITAL ROLLER COASTER OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!! LAST TIME I CHECK I GO TO THEME PARKS FOR RIDES NOT CUSTOMER SERVICES. The park was nice and IR is up there with the top coasters but MM is unbeatable not even Cedar point beat SFMM.
Magic has better coasters overall. This one has the whole package.
Huh?
Fiesta Texas isn't ever the 2nd best six flags park. It's barely even in the top 5. Unless you're saying it's the best not counting, Magic Mountain, Great Adventure, Great America, and whatever Over Georgia or whatever..... I've been to every park. And fiesta is barely middle of the pack. Their ride lineup is the bottom 5 of all SF parks.
If you took MagicMtns lineup, and threw away every other ride alphabetically, fiesta would still be unable to top them. People who've never been there do not understand the massive ride lineup that exists. They have so many coasters that a lot get lost in the shuffle, whereas if they resided in other parks, they'd be flagship attractions. Scream, Apocolypse, Superman, Riddler, West coast Racers, Full Throttle, Crazanity, LexLuther, would all be spotlight attractions, aTop Ride/Coaster almost everywhere else, and yet at MagMtn, these are petty much nowhere close to their staples, and really just supporting cast. People love to cheer for the underdog and root against the best. But in reality, if this was baseball, fiesta would be in the minor leagues and magic would be the all star.
I love Fiesta's top two and the atmosphere. It's an all around great park.
Best park overall, not best rides.
Bro hasn’t been to the six flags in California
I've been to all the Six Flags parks.
Yes 6/fiesta Texas is the best because Jeffrey Seibert is the best general manager of any Six Flags park point blank come in from the mouth of somebody from new Braunfels Texas buddy boy
He has done an amazing job.
Imo over texas is better srry yall....
.
Over Texas is great too, but I prefer this one.
