I don’t hear a lot of stories of people dying because of Ferris wheels or the people operating it (but then again I didn’t know about a few of the incidents talked about on the channel)
@@DoswarePictures it did contribute to it, as the ride volleyed because if high winds. Alton towers should not have been operating it. I reccemond watching GP to Enthusiast's video about it if you want to learn more
Bruh I had to clean the subs of iron while this shit was happening and roadrunner. People were yelling at me that I suck and I should quit because I wouldn’t let them ride because of the winds.
Klara although probably as not as noteworthy as the shows at Over Texas, considering Kelly Clarkson and a few others got their start performing at SFOT.

This is my home park and it's not normally like this. Usually every ride is open and lines are only this long in the summer or holidays. Just had some bad luck I guess
Yeah, I was sad to see this video, as I've been going to Fiesta before it was even Six Flags, and never had a bad experience, though I totally understand frustration with so many closures.
Better safe than sorry though. I can see why people would be upset but can't really blame the park for trying to keep people safe (and avoiding potential millionaire lawsuits)
Max Theme Parks maybe it’s because everyone had high expectations. Maybe I should lower my expectations to hopefully have a better experience if I do go
Max Theme Parks I went the first week of November, and I absolutely loved it! Got all the credits, and even got a credit I wasn’t expecting to get! (Boomerang was listed as closed on their website but ended up being open). It’s by far my favorite six flags park, and is in my top 5 parks overall
My family took a big trip to Cedar Point this summer, but I couldn't go because I had to work. It was my 10 year old brother's first trip to the park and he is a huge roller coaster fan and was so so excited. They got to the park, rope-dropped Steel Vengeance, but still had to wait in a two hour line. They were standing on the loading station, next in line for it, when a thunderstorm popped up and they had to close the ride. They waited an hour on the loading station, and then the ride operators kicked everyone out of line, so they lost their spot. Everything was closed and there were power surges, so nothing opened in the whole park until 5 pm that day. Steel Vengeance never reopened, Dragster never reopened. They managed to ride Millenium Force and a couple of flat rides but didn't get any other big credits the entire day. It was such a bad day that when my dad went to customer service, they gave him free tickets and free parking for a return trip. I was able to go for the return trip, and it was on a crazy busy Saturday during Halloweekends (we never go to parks on weekends but it was the only time we could fit the 8 hour round trip in). When we went to exchange our vouchers for the tickets, they also gave us free fast passes. The park was near capacity, but we managed to ride everything two or three times on a gorgeous fall day. In the end, it was completely worth it (especially for me who didn't have to deal with the first trip!).
Airtime Thrills Trust me, you DO NOT want to. Halloweekends this year was beyond terrible. Packed to the brim, half of the rides were down off and on because of weather. When you spend $170 on fast lane plus, you generally expect to get on more than 9 rides, but that’s what I got on one Saturday. When there’s a 45 minute wait for rougarou with fast lane, yeah...
jonathan manning Anymore, it seems to be that way. It used to be that the most popular rides had an hour or two wait then you had rides like magnum that were walk on, not now though. I mean, I’m happy for the revenue boost but it’s gonna backfire when nobody wants to go anymore in fear of insane crowds.
Other than crappy nachos, no Mexican food there. One would think that it would be a great place for Mexican food, but, Nope. Doesn't exist there. Go figure!
Isabella Genova yep, but it lost to “You’ll Be in my Heart” by Phil Collins from Tarzan. While Trey and Matt didn’t expect a win, they were surprised (and supposedly offended) when Phil won, so they made fun of him in a future South Park episode and made him hold an Oscar.
La Ronde is a nice six flag park to be honest, I live far from Montreal but I can say that La Ronde is alright if you have school activities, but for christ sake it is expensive, The Goliath is very nice, The Monster is a very nice wooden coaster, the Vampire is alright, the Cobra is my favorite, the Ednor I still haven't ride it, the Boomerang (I think it is called like that) is rough but has nice loops, I don't remember the others but it is honestly very nice, most of them were open and I still enjoyed my times I go there, so depending on a theme to the other, blame the ride's quality if they have too many issue to be fixed. Edit: Forgot to mentioned, the wait is horrendously long because it is Montreal
I'm a current employee there and I apologise greatly for your experience. We are just very cautious with any risks of danger to our guests and we want to keep our park as safe as possible. Once again, I apologise for the inconveniences this has caused you. If there's anything we can do to make it up to you, let us know! Thank you and have a great day!
I personally completely understand. I went yesterday and all the rides were closed in the morning due to the first cold front of the season. Towards the end of the day they opened the Superman due to pressure from guests. The tests went fine and I was on the second ride. The group right behind me got stuck on the tracks and they had to close it immediately again. You guys were quick to act on getting everyone down safely and everyone stuck was off the ride on the ground again within twenty to thirty minutes. Good job. I had a great time. It was my first time on a roller coaster and I loved it.

I went to fiesta texas before they opened wonder woman's lasso and iron rattler so it was already a pretty eh experience since I had ridden 3 of their rides already at six flags st. louis. sorry it was such a bitch for you lol
Been there over 200 times and ive literally never seen anything closed by wind, nor have i ever seen multiple major rides closed at once for any reason
@@gogy4 AGREED like maybe six flags could plant some trees to break up the wind or something.. but the max wind speed for a ride is set by the manufacture, not the park. most rides will actually worn the ride ops that a gust has been read over the maxim safe speed and cannot be safely operated. no park WANTS a ride to go down. and further more (at least with the park I work for BGT) if one ride measures a gust over the thresh hold of another ride then that other ride must shut down, even if its on the opposite side of the park. so for example if Sheikra gets a reading of 42mph but Montu is only reading 20mph then Montu will still shut down for weather. all "class 1 rides" at BGT shut down at 40mph so everthing besides the carousel and the train. i didn't mean to type so much but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
CoasterKing I would say it’s not a problem at all from what I can tell I went four times this year and each time there weren’t any problems like this. He just caught it on a bad day 😔
Fiesta Texas sits in a bowel because it’s an old quarry, so it can get breezy in there and there’s not much they can do about it. There is shopping centers and parking lots around the grounds
Even the "best" Six Flags parks suffer from their horrible corporate mismanagement. They just seem to take no pride in their parks. I understand why they might not shell out for giga coasters and B&M's when they could just buy equally great rides like RMC's Maxx Force, but honestly I'd rather they just spend that money to make their parks not look like shitholes plastered with advertisements everywhere.
My worst experience was at six flags America, a operator shoved my blind brother along with me and my friend into the car, never been so pissed In my life
Me and a friend went to Six Flags Great America this past summer. The temperature was 95+ (over 100 with humidity) and the park was dead. We got about 2 to 3 rides on every coaster. We got there at 10am and left at 4:30 (our plan was to stay til 8pm but since we rode every ride that we wanted to enough times we got bored). So, just a tip, if it’s over 100 outside go to an amusement park because it will be dead. That was my first time to a six flags ever. My friend, who had been there a handful of times, said it was the least busy he had ever seen it.
Grant Russell that’s not true at all, at least not for Six Flags Over Georgia....During the summer, it’s always 90+ degrees outside, and the park stays packed, everyday, every hour, every minute, and every second....I’ve noticed if there is a threat for rain in the forecast, or if it’s raining, the park is empty, but most rides close down during the rain.....if you are lucky and it stops raining while you are at the park, the rides re-open shortly after the rain....that is the best time to have the whole park to yourself....
I was there in June and it wasn't any better. How does a park close two of its headline coasters for a crappy flat ride install? Like Airtime, was visiting from else where in the USA. Wonder women and Superman were offline all day.
It’s not anyone’s fault. So what if airtime or some big UA-cam person went. People are working and it will go on like any other day. He’s not special and does not need that kind of treatment. I did not know who he was and I work at this park until some of my friends showed me this video. Wonder Woman was off that day because it was getting repairs for its single coaster rails and Superman was down for the dangerous winds. I guess y’all wanna die than care about chur own safety.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas is actually one of the best parks (maybe because it's my home park I'm a little biased) but the early spring to late fall/winter Fiesta Texas becomes a little worse than what it could be because of the wind
I've been to a dozen or so parks around the US, and I agree. I like Cedar Point a little bit more, but Fiesta is a really strong park, probably my 2nd favorite.
2019 was probably the worst year for Fiesta Texas. I'm a San Antonio native and go every year. They kept stuff closed for pretty much no reason, took away the original and best fireworks display and replaced it with knockoff disney show, and charged a hell of lot more for simple stuff. One day they legitimately had only 4 rides open in the park.
One day I worked at Phantasialand, it was one of the hottest days all year and I was standing in front of a closed Talocan from 11:30 to about 17:00 (mostly in 2 hour chunks, with half hour breaks and 1 hour lunch in-between). Main thing I did that day: Telling people that Talocan is closed. At one point someone told me that 4 other main attractions, including Taron and Chiapas, were all down as well and River Quest had between 90-120 minute wait all day. Mamba was also down for half an hour in the afternoon (friend of mine worked there that day and came to talk to me every time he had a break, since I was just standing there all day).
Fiesta Texas is one of six flag's "lesser" parks that continues to get passed up by six flags corporate for major rollercoasters and other attractions that get built at other parks. The only great ride we have is the iron rattler, everything else here kinda sucks.
That is my home park. As soon as you said all the kids would be out of school that should have been a clue about the lines. I could hear how bad the wind was from the recording so I'm not surprised everything is closed. The biggest sins you can do when visiting fiesta texas is going on a busy day, going on a bad weather day to include heat/wind/rain, and not commiting to a line. If you line hop all day hoping for the lines to get shorter, you will be disappointed and end up wasting more time than if you had just waited in a line.
At six flags over Texas, the whole day rides would randomly “shut down” and people would get off, but we met this kid that was by himself at the park and he said that his brother worked there, and they occasionally shut down rides if the line is piling up, and then re open it once enough people leave. It’s actually true, we were on multiple rides when they shut it down, they literally just stood around talking, and then grabbed the speaker and started it again. Stay in your line, the ride doesn’t break down 5 times in one day and continue to work perfectly.
Star flyers can operate in pretty high winds. SFNE is able to run their 400+ ft star flyer in high winds cause it's all powered and the only thing the wind does is cause the seats to spin a little.
This happened to me as well. I went to six flags fiesta Texas, aware of how much they are hated due to constant ride breakdowns and whatnot. Day started off normal, I rode almost every ride before it started going down hill. First, Batman broke on me TWICE, then poltergeist broke down, the new Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger broke down on me, and then Goliath broke down. When I was waiting in line for Goliath to open back up, hoping that I wouldn’t have to leave with boomerang as my last ride, they told me rather rudely “You need to leave right now” like I just committed a crime at the park. There is something totally wrong with the maintenance here, I have never experienced so many breakdowns in one day, even at universal studios. And the weather was perfectly fine that day. It was just cloudy no rain at all.
Crazycoasterfan 123 magic mountain is the only park that you can get a guaranteed good time. That’s because it’s a number game, magic mountain has 19 coasters so even if half of the park is closed you can get 9-10 rides done. Fiesta Texas has under 10 rides and that includes the kiddy coasters. So if even a couple are down it feels like the whole park is closed.
Garret Barber great adventure is good bc toro rarely breaks the only problem is that on slower days you cant go to the back for the insane airtime, ka is always open when im there but ive heard otherwise and then theres nitro a great b&m hyper. the top 3 are usually open and then you have the clones like the b&m inverts, green lantern, superman, the sns freespin, etc
I did a three day weekend in San Antonio this year (President's Day weekend). Sea World was closed. The Houston coasters were closed. I did Dallas like a month later. Did hit up ZDT's and I ended up getting 18 rides on Iron Rattler and 16 on Wonder Women, so I got lucky with Fiesta Texas. Sounds like I was the only one this year. The operations for Over Texas weren't the greatest so it is give and take....
my worst time was at six flags great adventure. I was 10 years old and the night before going my older brother bullied me into taking a large amount of laxatives. the laxatives didn't effect me well into the day. imagine riding intense roller coasters when all of the sudden you are literally about to shit your pants. I spent most of that day in the bathroom but did manage to ride a few rides. I hate my brother for this lol. im 23 now and yes I have gotten revenge.
Reminds me of the time at SFOT when they closed most of the rides due to wind except Texas Skyscreamer, the only ride that’s actually dangerous in high winds. I ended up going on it in the windstorm and thought my life was over.
TIM Glazner But it IS the park’s responsibility to make sure people get what they paid for, so either compensation is required, or they should try building more reliable attractions that don’t require closing during winds.
I went to this a couple days ago, every ride was open (not including the water parks) except for batman, it was 12:30pm-ish but I did most of them with waiting in the line for about an hour. I was going to do the joker, but that was like a 3 1/2 hour wait, so cancel that, went to get some food, took about hour and a half just looking for some, but I found out its better to just order on the app and wait at the place for 30 mins after looking for an hour. The food was good, It was about 5pm and the food place was next to the haunted house, so I did that with only a 15 minute wait, then I did another ride with a 30 minute wait, so the times were getting lower as the day went on. Then I waited for the pandemonium for an hour, making it about 8pm with the park closing at 9pm, so I was thinking maybe one more ride, so I went to a ride, and it was the sky screamer only waiting for 20 minutes. After that it was about 8:30, and I realized, that there was nobody in the superman, so the line took 5mins, and the ride was cool, some person threw up on me, but other then that, it was pretty cool, got some more food, and I left at exactly 8:59pm. Overall, great park for me, and the only bad thing were the lines.
my worst park experience I've ever had was at Great Adventure (on a marching band field trip). I payed for the flash passes so instead of heading straight for kingda ka, we got them. as we walked up to ka, all our friends had just gotten off of it. spoiler alert, it closed before we got to it. we rode el toro and it was way too hot out to enjoy it, spent an hour trying to look for the lunch pavillion, rode nitro, and at that point the only ride without a 2 hour wait was harley quinn crazy train with a 45 minute wait. for real. in almost eight hours, with the flashpasses, we rode two coasters and a kiddie coaster. edit: i had an infinitely better time at six flags america lmao
As a local I’ve never had this problem? I wouldn’t say this isn’t a problem at all just got the park on a bad day. Also that line for Poltergeist was at worst 40 min. Totally doable!!
Chromebot same but only on like spring break! I’ve been on busy days and yet the line only fills up to like the first maybe first and half rows and that’s basically 40 min to an hr max I love that it usually has the shortest line
Hell yea last time i went was 2001 an ride of steel was closed, but went back the next day an got to ride an ROAR an batwimg were great back then. Wouldnt mind going back but they def need to add some new or atleazt RMC Roar
@@tinypoolmodelshipyard i was lucky in that 99 to 2005 i travel so much, some magic years lol...i feel old but im only in my 30s, even got 25 rides in one day on hypersonic xlc in 02..just come crazy stuff lol....I'm waiting for jersey devil coaster to open to be my first rmc hahah from what i hear they should rmc roar!! i plan to travel again this year!
the worst feeling is going to a six flags and all the rides are closed for the silliest reasons! you trying to be happy tho which is literally adorable
Definitely not. SFOT is better by quite a margin. I actually prefer it’s atmosphere more and it’s consistent while SFFT in the other hand is all over the place. I’ve also just had incredible experiences at SFOT everytime

Hi, Texan here! I recommend going to Six Flags in the winter! I know it sounds bad due to the cold, but the cold is actually your friend in this case! Trips to the park during January-March are usually very good as the park is almost fully empty (due to families not wanting to go out in the cold), and wait times go down to 5-10 minutes! (Sometimes even less if you get there when it opens!) Closures are also suprisingly rare during those times! (It stared light raining on my trip but they kept the rides open and safe, so I still got to have fun, albeit a little wet!) I went yesterday (Jan 4th) and was able to ride six coasters (Goliath, Dr. Diobolical, Superman, Batman, Joker, Iron Rattler, Road Runner), almost all of them extreme and/or very popular! (Not including the fact that I rode 3 of those six twice in the same trip, so 9 rides in 4 hours total!) Trips to Six Flags can suck at times (especially during the summer, daammnnn you Dallas...), but if you know when to go, you'll end up having the time of your life there! :)
My worst park day was going to magic mountain (home park) for a dude's birthday. We had four guys and I was eager to get to the park. However, it took like 2 hours just for us to get everyone, then they wanted to stop for lunch, which took like another hour. Then some guys wanted passes so we had to wait an hour and a half just at the park entrance. When we finally got in we did 1 coaster and they wanted food again, so another hour of sitting down. Only got 3 coasters that day and 1 water ride, and we left while it was dark. Luckily since its my home park it wasn't too big of a deal.
Yeah, I’ve been going here for 10 years, and the operations have always been awesome, the rides were always open, and I had always had a great time. But in 2019 something just changed. I hope that the park will get back to “normal” after Covid in terms of fast ops and stuff
I went in August and it was terrible. I took us 20 minutes to get on Iron Rattler with flash pass premium. Wonder Woman was closed. It was over 105 degrees and there was only one water ride open. Left park early
my trip to six flags great adventure was worse, *ON JERSEY DEVIL'S COASTERS OPENING DAY* it was broken and never opened that day. batman dark knight had no preshow! all the coasters were running shaky because it was a bad day, the joker's line was so long, and when we came back for lunch at jersey devil BQ, it stopped on the lift hill without people, Kingda ka technical issues made wait even more longer for my dad (because I'm still afraid of ka) worst day *EVER*
Went here the exact same day. This is my home park and I was crazy disappointed with pretty much everything. Most of the time it is a pretty fun park, when everything is open of course.
I feel ya pain regarding the wind. I used to work at Thorpe Park, built on practically an island (poor land choice) and we had to close attractions if winds were above 13mph, which happened waaaay too often
I was told many years ago by a ride maintenance man that the coasters at SFFT have wind anemometers installed on them and whenever the wind speed exceeds a certain threshold the ride will stop.
If winds are over 15mph they can’t run certain rides. You’d think the swing rides would be closed but they aren’t and it’s terrifying to be on those swings! Some roller coaster aren’t made to handle winds and the trains can’t make it up the hills or could completely derail completely due too strong winds
I am sad to here that you had a terrible day earlier this year. As a regular, I know when to avoid the days to keep me from experiencing days like this. Being surrounded by the quarry wall makes the park a wind tunnel. Something the park deals with alot. Bad timing on planning to go the park. I agree to what you said in the video, if SkyScreamer is open, then the rest of the ridesshould as well. If there is ever a feel of gust, Pandemonium shuts down.
Yes, wind will close many of the rides easily. The biggest downside of the quarry setting. Boomerang gets a crazy line for some reason. That's very normal line for it. Probably because of its location near the front of the park. Poltergeist's line moves faster than it seems even on one train ops- much faster than your average line on one train. I haven't had a bad day at SFFT this year. Of course, it's my home park so I have the luxury of going whenever and avoiding crowded days. That said, Iron Rattler has been on one train ops since at least August and it's driving me insane. I know they're doing work on the trains (or that's what we were told when I asked) but it's taking quite a while. I think my highlight for SFFT this year was a rare trip with my mom. She got on her first coasters in probably 10+ years. Boomerang, Poltergeist, WW, and Iron Rattler. We were mostly there for holiday lights. Also on that trip we discovered that Poltergeist got some slight refurbishments in the form of brand new seat belts- longer ones too! No walks of shame for my brother on Poltergeist now!
Honestly, I can strongly agree with this. This year was absolute garbage with almost every ride unexpectedly closing, or just some weird malfunctions. Hopefully next year in 2020 will be better. (I went today; opening to closing time, and it was pretty fun. Not as many rides were closed fortunately)
I went here first time it was amazing. Second time was slow operations, none of the rides were open and the ones that were open I didn’t want to go on.
Reminds me of several hours of the day when I was at Lake Compounce. That said it was very much offset by Boulder Dash marathons to start and end the day during the hours the school trip wasn't there, so every coaster in the park being closed for 60-70% of the day didn't really matter at the end.
In la cantera and the rim, the power grid is shit man. I’ve worked here for two seasons and the power shuts down 3-4 times a year here in this section of San Antonio. Everything faults out and I freak out. I remember gully washer draining randomly because of a power outage.
that sucks, you just got unlucky. ive been there a couple times and everytime all the rides are open. maybe consider coming back sometimes later? the coasters you didnt get to ride are amazing! but better luck next time man.
Ah yes my home park that I crap on every month I’ve been this year. I’ve vlogged probably 15 times there between March and September this year. Wonder Woman was closed half of those times, IRat was running one train 75% of those times, Superman was closed 3 or so times, and skip the line passes were never available to Diamond Elite members for Joker. People are finally starting to accept that this place isn’t all that great. #wheresourhyper
Dosware Pictures Yes there is. It’s 200 ft I believe. Pretty sad because Tower of the Americas downtown is 750 ft tall. And the park is built almost 100 feet beneath the edge of the canyon wall
Hennisphere huh. The park is probably closer to an airport but I’m not sure. At least San Antonio has a hyper-ish coaster with the aforementioned Steel Eel.
I live in SA and honestly I didn’t realize how popular the park was until like my junior year of high school. If there was ever a bad day, you just left and came back the next day or weekend since you had the season pass. I can’t imagine having to plan a day here and am thankful I don’t need to
I work here and roadrunner was down because I had to call a condition B. Get everyone off and have them fix it because it was having trouble leaving the station because of the wind. Iron rattler was closed because of the wind. Ultimately this was a terrible time for six flags fiesta texas. As a ride operatior in crack axle canon, it was not under our control. The weather this year was a real pain, leaving lots of angry people getting after us for not letting them ride something for their own safety. This is a fact and I am a operator in crack axle canyon. If we ran rattler, it would have condition A. (Riders get stuck) on the lift due to the structure being unstable. Y’all just wanna die, don’t y’all.
You know its bad when you've resorted to waiting for the ferris wheel
I mean, Ferris wheels are fun rides so it's not that bad.
I don’t hear a lot of stories of people dying because of Ferris wheels or the people operating it (but then again I didn’t know about a few of the incidents talked about on the channel)
Even worse:Waiting for a huge line at the entrance
And then the ferris wheel breaks lmao
@@exoticcats6119 o
I mean hey at least they took responsibility and closed rides when the wind was too dangerous for it.
*looking at you alton towers*
Sick burn, mate.
Dragon Fire was wind the cause of the Smiler incident?
@@DoswarePictures it did contribute to it, as the ride volleyed because if high winds. Alton towers should not have been operating it. I reccemond watching GP to Enthusiast's video about it if you want to learn more
Expedition Theme Park also has a great video on it (with the bonus cursed footage to go with it)
Alton towers is a good ride
Wind: exists
Every coaster at Fiesta Texas: Ight imma close
Sorry folks, Park's closed.
John Foltz EVERYBODY DO THE FLOP!
Bruh I had to clean the subs of iron while this shit was happening and roadrunner. People were yelling at me that I suck and I should quit because I wouldn’t let them ride because of the winds.
okumura cosplay this sounds like the kind of stuff I see on videos about Reddit posts about workers and their tough scenarios with various people.

Yea same I live near fiesta Texas and it’s not bad
Yesss especially the iron rattler you have to wait like 2 hours to get on that damn thing
It seems like literally everyone who went had a bad day at Fiesta Texas this year, not the case in previous years but this year everyone just hated it
I did too. Only 3 coasters done... -.-
Max Theme Parks maybe it’s because everyone had high expectations. Maybe I should lower my expectations to hopefully have a better experience if I do go
Max Theme Parks I went the first week of November, and I absolutely loved it! Got all the credits, and even got a credit I wasn’t expecting to get! (Boomerang was listed as closed on their website but ended up being open). It’s by far my favorite six flags park, and is in my top 5 parks overall
i had a good time but some of the coasters were closed so not as many credits but many of the good ones were open
Max Theme Parks well I got lucky, I got a great day.
My family took a big trip to Cedar Point this summer, but I couldn't go because I had to work. It was my 10 year old brother's first trip to the park and he is a huge roller coaster fan and was so so excited. They got to the park, rope-dropped Steel Vengeance, but still had to wait in a two hour line. They were standing on the loading station, next in line for it, when a thunderstorm popped up and they had to close the ride. They waited an hour on the loading station, and then the ride operators kicked everyone out of line, so they lost their spot. Everything was closed and there were power surges, so nothing opened in the whole park until 5 pm that day. Steel Vengeance never reopened, Dragster never reopened. They managed to ride Millenium Force and a couple of flat rides but didn't get any other big credits the entire day.
It was such a bad day that when my dad went to customer service, they gave him free tickets and free parking for a return trip. I was able to go for the return trip, and it was on a crazy busy Saturday during Halloweekends (we never go to parks on weekends but it was the only time we could fit the 8 hour round trip in). When we went to exchange our vouchers for the tickets, they also gave us free fast passes. The park was near capacity, but we managed to ride everything two or three times on a gorgeous fall day. In the end, it was completely worth it (especially for me who didn't have to deal with the first trip!).
A bad day at CP is the nightmare. Luckily I havent really had that yet
Airtime Thrills Oh no don’t jinx yourself that would really suck
Airtime Thrills Trust me, you DO NOT want to. Halloweekends this year was beyond terrible. Packed to the brim, half of the rides were down off and on because of weather. When you spend $170 on fast lane plus, you generally expect to get on more than 9 rides, but that’s what I got on one Saturday. When there’s a 45 minute wait for rougarou with fast lane, yeah...
I avoid that park like a plague on fridays and saturdays and even sun-thurs I always get a fast pass plus otherwise you're pretty much screwed
jonathan manning Anymore, it seems to be that way. It used to be that the most popular rides had an hour or two wait then you had rides like magnum that were walk on, not now though. I mean, I’m happy for the revenue boost but it’s gonna backfire when nobody wants to go anymore in fear of insane crowds.
March 23 was the worse day ever from an employee standpoint. And I remember this day. It was very ugly
Do tell!

Why would you want Mexican food from Six Flags? 🤔 It's gonna be crap! Lol
Other than crappy nachos, no Mexican food there. One would think that it would be a great place for Mexican food, but, Nope. Doesn't exist there. Go figure!
This was like watching someone complete a scavenger hunt for open coasters lol
I swear fiesta texas tries to hide the entrances to Batman and Superman. My first time there it was hard to find where to go to get in line.
Thats very true. Batman is a little more hidden but Superman is also really tucked away

If you think it was bad going to Fiesta Texas..
Going to La Ronde is way worse.
Alejandro Garza well don’t blame the staff, don’t blame the guests, and don’t blame Six Flags.
*BLAME CANADA!! BLAME CANADA!!*
Dosware Pictures wasn’t that song cited for an Oscar or something lol
Isabella Genova yep, but it lost to “You’ll Be in my Heart” by Phil Collins from Tarzan. While Trey and Matt didn’t expect a win, they were surprised (and supposedly offended) when Phil won, so they made fun of him in a future South Park episode and made him hold an Oscar.
La Ronde is a nice six flag park to be honest, I live far from Montreal but I can say that La Ronde is alright if you have school activities, but for christ sake it is expensive, The Goliath is very nice, The Monster is a very nice wooden coaster, the Vampire is alright, the Cobra is my favorite, the Ednor I still haven't ride it, the Boomerang (I think it is called like that) is rough but has nice loops, I don't remember the others but it is honestly very nice, most of them were open and I still enjoyed my times I go there, so depending on a theme to the other, blame the ride's quality if they have too many issue to be fixed.
Edit: Forgot to mentioned, the wait is horrendously long because it is Montreal
Sky Storm Cobra closed a while ago.
I'm a current employee there and I apologise greatly for your experience. We are just very cautious with any risks of danger to our guests and we want to keep our park as safe as possible. Once again, I apologise for the inconveniences this has caused you. If there's anything we can do to make it up to you, let us know! Thank you and have a great day!
I personally completely understand. I went yesterday and all the rides were closed in the morning due to the first cold front of the season. Towards the end of the day they opened the Superman due to pressure from guests. The tests went fine and I was on the second ride. The group right behind me got stuck on the tracks and they had to close it immediately again. You guys were quick to act on getting everyone down safely and everyone stuck was off the ride on the ground again within twenty to thirty minutes. Good job. I had a great time. It was my first time on a roller coaster and I loved it.

Dun Dun. lol! Man Fiesta Texas is not his thing today, huh?
I feel bad for you. Fiesta Texas is my home park and it’s normally not that bad at all. I actually really think it’s one of the best I’ve been to
Been there over 200 times and ive literally never seen anything closed by wind, nor have i ever seen multiple major rides closed at once for any reason
you’ve been to Six Flags Fiesta Texas over 200 times?
I feel bad. The wind is really a problem there
Yes but the real problem is that it's run by six flags..
BuckNutty How is six flags the problem here
@@gogy4 AGREED like maybe six flags could plant some trees to break up the wind or something.. but the max wind speed for a ride is set by the manufacture, not the park.
most rides will actually worn the ride ops that a gust has been read over the maxim safe speed and cannot be safely operated. no park WANTS a ride to go down. and further more (at least with the park I work for BGT) if one ride measures a gust over the thresh hold of another ride then that other ride must shut down, even if its on the opposite side of the park.
so for example if Sheikra gets a reading of 42mph but Montu is only reading 20mph then Montu will still shut down for weather. all "class 1 rides" at BGT shut down at 40mph so everthing besides the carousel and the train.
i didn't mean to type so much but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
CoasterKing I would say it’s not a problem at all from what I can tell I went four times this year and each time there weren’t any problems like this. He just caught it on a bad day 😔
Fiesta Texas sits in a bowel because it’s an old quarry, so it can get breezy in there and there’s not much they can do about it. There is shopping centers and parking lots around the grounds
Sucks to hear that u had a bad time, I thought this park was one of the best Six Flags Parks
Even the "best" Six Flags parks suffer from their horrible corporate mismanagement. They just seem to take no pride in their parks. I understand why they might not shell out for giga coasters and B&M's when they could just buy equally great rides like RMC's Maxx Force, but honestly I'd rather they just spend that money to make their parks not look like shitholes plastered with advertisements everywhere.

I'd file a lawsuit honestly
Jonathon Miller Ik right, I never felt the same the whole trip, It still shocks me
Did you all want to ride, or did they just shove in everyone they saw? Either way that's not right
Melissa R. We all did want to ride, apparently he thought we were going to slow
How cool is that to have a blind brother though?
Me and a friend went to Six Flags Great America this past summer. The temperature was 95+ (over 100 with humidity) and the park was dead. We got about 2 to 3 rides on every coaster. We got there at 10am and left at 4:30 (our plan was to stay til 8pm but since we rode every ride that we wanted to enough times we got bored). So, just a tip, if it’s over 100 outside go to an amusement park because it will be dead. That was my first time to a six flags ever. My friend, who had been there a handful of times, said it was the least busy he had ever seen it.
Grant Russell that’s not true at all, at least not for Six Flags Over Georgia....During the summer, it’s always 90+ degrees outside, and the park stays packed, everyday, every hour, every minute, and every second....I’ve noticed if there is a threat for rain in the forecast, or if it’s raining, the park is empty, but most rides close down during the rain.....if you are lucky and it stops raining while you are at the park, the rides re-open shortly after the rain....that is the best time to have the whole park to yourself....
I was there in June and it wasn't any better. How does a park close two of its headline coasters for a crappy flat ride install? Like Airtime, was visiting from else where in the USA. Wonder women and Superman were offline all day.
It’s not anyone’s fault. So what if airtime or some big UA-cam person went. People are working and it will go on like any other day. He’s not special and does not need that kind of treatment. I did not know who he was and I work at this park until some of my friends showed me this video. Wonder Woman was off that day because it was getting repairs for its single coaster rails and Superman was down for the dangerous winds. I guess y’all wanna die than care about chur own safety.
thefreem0 I unfortunately visited when IRat wasn’t open
SFA management watching this video like
This makes me so sad. I’ve been to Fiesta Texas so many times (15-20+) and I’ve never ran into any rides being closed. Bad luck :(
Airtime Thrills: Goes to Fiesta Texas
Fiesta Texas: So you have chosen breakdowns?
Six Flags Fiesta Texas is actually one of the best parks (maybe because it's my home park I'm a little biased) but the early spring to late fall/winter Fiesta Texas becomes a little worse than what it could be because of the wind
Grym Reap3r Halloween/Christmas is the best time to go imo
Grym Reap3r same
Grym Reap3r I’m going in early June for the first time, hows the wind and the crowds?
I've been to a dozen or so parks around the US, and I agree. I like Cedar Point a little bit more, but Fiesta is a really strong park, probably my 2nd favorite.
okay, but isn't early spring to late fall/winter the whole year? I hate to point out the obvious but that would seem like the whole year, wouldn't it?
"After all...it's not Six Flags America"

Fiesta Texas had a bad run this year. America was actually pretty consistent.
Consistently good or bad? 😂😂
0MindSwept0 Let’s just say it’s more tolerable. 🤷🏾♂️
Went 4 times this year and didn’t have any problems at all!
@@just_jon96 Fiesta Texas or America?..
0MindSwept0 Fiesta Texas
2019 was probably the worst year for Fiesta Texas. I'm a San Antonio native and go every year. They kept stuff closed for pretty much no reason, took away the original and best fireworks display and replaced it with knockoff disney show, and charged a hell of lot more for simple stuff. One day they legitimately had only 4 rides open in the park.
One day I worked at Phantasialand, it was one of the hottest days all year and I was standing in front of a closed Talocan from 11:30 to about 17:00 (mostly in 2 hour chunks, with half hour breaks and 1 hour lunch in-between). Main thing I did that day: Telling people that Talocan is closed. At one point someone told me that 4 other main attractions, including Taron and Chiapas, were all down as well and River Quest had between 90-120 minute wait all day. Mamba was also down for half an hour in the afternoon (friend of mine worked there that day and came to talk to me every time he had a break, since I was just standing there all day).
Fiesta Texas is one of six flag's "lesser" parks that continues to get passed up by six flags corporate for major rollercoasters and other attractions that get built at other parks. The only great ride we have is the iron rattler, everything else here kinda sucks.
Wonder Woman looks pretty cool though.
"Mom, can I have six flags..."
"We have six flags at home honey..."
Six flags at home...
That is my home park. As soon as you said all the kids would be out of school that should have been a clue about the lines. I could hear how bad the wind was from the recording so I'm not surprised everything is closed. The biggest sins you can do when visiting fiesta texas is going on a busy day, going on a bad weather day to include heat/wind/rain, and not commiting to a line. If you line hop all day hoping for the lines to get shorter, you will be disappointed and end up wasting more time than if you had just waited in a line.
10 Hours of Airtime Thrills saying Six Flags America.
At six flags over Texas, the whole day rides would randomly “shut down” and people would get off, but we met this kid that was by himself at the park and he said that his brother worked there, and they occasionally shut down rides if the line is piling up, and then re open it once enough people leave. It’s actually true, we were on multiple rides when they shut it down, they literally just stood around talking, and then grabbed the speaker and started it again. Stay in your line, the ride doesn’t break down 5 times in one day and continue to work perfectly.
This is depression in video form
Star flyers can operate in pretty high winds. SFNE is able to run their 400+ ft star flyer in high winds cause it's all powered and the only thing the wind does is cause the seats to spin a little.
It just seems like high winds, that high up, would twist the seats in some unnatural ways. But thats just my untrained opinion
Park: The wind is too high for our coasters
Also Park: Starflyer is open
me: wtf.
This happened to me as well. I went to six flags fiesta Texas, aware of how much they are hated due to constant ride breakdowns and whatnot. Day started off normal, I rode almost every ride before it started going down hill. First, Batman broke on me TWICE, then poltergeist broke down, the new Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger broke down on me, and then Goliath broke down. When I was waiting in line for Goliath to open back up, hoping that I wouldn’t have to leave with boomerang as my last ride, they told me rather rudely “You need to leave right now” like I just committed a crime at the park. There is something totally wrong with the maintenance here, I have never experienced so many breakdowns in one day, even at universal studios. And the weather was perfectly fine that day. It was just cloudy no rain at all.
I thought that was one of the best six flags parks
Crazycoasterfan 123 magic mountain is the only park that you can get a guaranteed good time. That’s because it’s a number game, magic mountain has 19 coasters so even if half of the park is closed you can get 9-10 rides done. Fiesta Texas has under 10 rides and that includes the kiddy coasters. So if even a couple are down it feels like the whole park is closed.
Garret Barber no
Garret Barber mention great adventure
Garret Barber great adventure is good bc toro rarely breaks the only problem is that on slower days you cant go to the back for the insane airtime, ka is always open when im there but ive heard otherwise and then theres nitro a great b&m hyper. the top 3 are usually open and then you have the clones like the b&m inverts, green lantern, superman, the sns freespin, etc
It still is
I did a three day weekend in San Antonio this year (President's Day weekend). Sea World was closed. The Houston coasters were closed. I did Dallas like a month later. Did hit up ZDT's and I ended up getting 18 rides on Iron Rattler and 16 on Wonder Women, so I got lucky with Fiesta Texas. Sounds like I was the only one this year. The operations for Over Texas weren't the greatest so it is give and take....
my worst time was at six flags great adventure. I was 10 years old and the night before going my older brother bullied me into taking a large amount of laxatives. the laxatives didn't effect me well into the day. imagine riding intense roller coasters when all of the sudden you are literally about to shit your pants. I spent most of that day in the bathroom but did manage to ride a few rides. I hate my brother for this lol. im 23 now and yes I have gotten revenge.
By far the weirdest story I have ever read in the comments
Reminds me of the time at SFOT when they closed most of the rides due to wind except Texas Skyscreamer, the only ride that’s actually dangerous in high winds. I ended up going on it in the windstorm and thought my life was over.
I mean atleast they acknowledge that it’s too windy for anyone to ride
Fiesta Texas: One more step and you’ll have a bad time!
**megalovania intensifies**
Not their fault that you chose a windy day..... they can’t control the weather
TIM Glazner But it IS the park’s responsibility to make sure people get what they paid for, so either compensation is required, or they should try building more reliable attractions that don’t require closing during winds.
Exactly. If something were to happen during ride time then everyone would be with their hands up exclaiming rides should be tested more lol
I went to this a couple days ago, every ride was open (not including the water parks) except for batman, it was 12:30pm-ish but I did most of them with waiting in the line for about an hour. I was going to do the joker, but that was like a 3 1/2 hour wait, so cancel that, went to get some food, took about hour and a half just looking for some, but I found out its better to just order on the app and wait at the place for 30 mins after looking for an hour. The food was good, It was about 5pm and the food place was next to the haunted house, so I did that with only a 15 minute wait, then I did another ride with a 30 minute wait, so the times were getting lower as the day went on. Then I waited for the pandemonium for an hour, making it about 8pm with the park closing at 9pm, so I was thinking maybe one more ride, so I went to a ride, and it was the sky screamer only waiting for 20 minutes. After that it was about 8:30, and I realized, that there was nobody in the superman, so the line took 5mins, and the ride was cool, some person threw up on me, but other then that, it was pretty cool, got some more food, and I left at exactly 8:59pm. Overall, great park for me, and the only bad thing were the lines.
I wonder if they were short staffed as well
I hate windy days here that ruins everything you went on a bad day
the first time I rode wonder woman I didnt know it would have tons of airtime, and i felt like i was in a damn blender
hahahahahaha. The intro was amazing. You even have the voice for it. PERFECT!
This is why SFOT is my fav park now. Its actually consistent
my worst park experience I've ever had was at Great Adventure (on a marching band field trip). I payed for the flash passes so instead of heading straight for kingda ka, we got them. as we walked up to ka, all our friends had just gotten off of it. spoiler alert, it closed before we got to it. we rode el toro and it was way too hot out to enjoy it, spent an hour trying to look for the lunch pavillion, rode nitro, and at that point the only ride without a 2 hour wait was harley quinn crazy train with a 45 minute wait. for real. in almost eight hours, with the flashpasses, we rode two coasters and a kiddie coaster.
edit: i had an infinitely better time at six flags america lmao
As a local I’ve never had this problem? I wouldn’t say this isn’t a problem at all just got the park on a bad day. Also that line for Poltergeist was at worst 40 min. Totally doable!!
Ive never had the wind problem either. Although ive seen poltergeist going up to 3 hours
Chromebot same but only on like spring break! I’ve been on busy days and yet the line only fills up to like the first maybe first and half rows and that’s basically 40 min to an hr max I love that it usually has the shortest line
Damn bro , sorry the park let you down. Fiesta Texas is my main park!(I live four hours south) I love it. Hope you visit again and have a better time.

Hi, Texan here! I recommend going to Six Flags in the winter!
I know it sounds bad due to the cold, but the cold is actually your friend in this case! Trips to the park during January-March are usually very good as the park is almost fully empty (due to families not wanting to go out in the cold), and wait times go down to 5-10 minutes! (Sometimes even less if you get there when it opens!) Closures are also suprisingly rare during those times! (It stared light raining on my trip but they kept the rides open and safe, so I still got to have fun, albeit a little wet!)
I went yesterday (Jan 4th) and was able to ride six coasters (Goliath, Dr. Diobolical, Superman, Batman, Joker, Iron Rattler, Road Runner), almost all of them extreme and/or very popular! (Not including the fact that I rode 3 of those six twice in the same trip, so 9 rides in 4 hours total!)
Trips to Six Flags can suck at times (especially during the summer, daammnnn you Dallas...), but if you know when to go, you'll end up having the time of your life there! :)
This is why i love disneys design. They planed on pretty worst case senarios so most "rides" are open even horible weather.
My worst park day was going to magic mountain (home park) for a dude's birthday. We had four guys and I was eager to get to the park. However, it took like 2 hours just for us to get everyone, then they wanted to stop for lunch, which took like another hour. Then some guys wanted passes so we had to wait an hour and a half just at the park entrance. When we finally got in we did 1 coaster and they wanted food again, so another hour of sitting down. Only got 3 coasters that day and 1 water ride, and we left while it was dark. Luckily since its my home park it wasn't too big of a deal.
I went the past two Sundays for Holiday in the Park and I was able to ride any ride I wanted without a long wait time.
Yeah, I’ve been going here for 10 years, and the operations have always been awesome, the rides were always open, and I had always had a great time. But in 2019 something just changed. I hope that the park will get back to “normal” after Covid in terms of fast ops and stuff

my trip to six flags great adventure was worse, *ON JERSEY DEVIL'S COASTERS OPENING DAY* it was broken and never opened that day. batman dark knight had no preshow! all the coasters were running shaky because it was a bad day, the joker's line was so long, and when we came back for lunch at jersey devil BQ, it stopped on the lift hill without people, Kingda ka technical issues made wait even more longer for my dad (because I'm still afraid of ka) worst day *EVER*
Went here the exact same day. This is my home park and I was crazy disappointed with pretty much everything. Most of the time it is a pretty fun park, when everything is open of course.
I feel ya pain regarding the wind. I used to work at Thorpe Park, built on practically an island (poor land choice) and we had to close attractions if winds were above 13mph, which happened waaaay too often
0:24 anyone hear ring of fire by Johnny cash or is it just me
Jesuslover52, yes
Silent hill.Silent hill!
I was told many years ago by a ride maintenance man that the coasters at SFFT have wind anemometers installed on them and whenever the wind speed exceeds a certain threshold the ride will stop.
Bro I go all the time I promise it’s not like this 😂
If winds are over 15mph they can’t run certain rides. You’d think the swing rides would be closed but they aren’t and it’s terrifying to be on those swings! Some roller coaster aren’t made to handle winds and the trains can’t make it up the hills or could completely derail completely due too strong winds
It’s crazy that you had a bad day there, I’m there at lease 30 times a year and I’ve NEVER had a day like you did smh
I am sad to here that you had a terrible day earlier this year. As a regular, I know when to avoid the days to keep me from experiencing days like this.
Being surrounded by the quarry wall makes the park a wind tunnel. Something the park deals with alot. Bad timing on planning to go the park. I agree to what you said in the video, if SkyScreamer is open, then the rest of the ridesshould as well. If there is ever a feel of gust, Pandemonium shuts down.
You ran into more closed rides than roller coasters at my home park

Dosware Pictures what’s your home park?
I’m lucky I have Hersheypark 25 min away

Yes, wind will close many of the rides easily. The biggest downside of the quarry setting. Boomerang gets a crazy line for some reason. That's very normal line for it. Probably because of its location near the front of the park. Poltergeist's line moves faster than it seems even on one train ops- much faster than your average line on one train.
I haven't had a bad day at SFFT this year. Of course, it's my home park so I have the luxury of going whenever and avoiding crowded days. That said, Iron Rattler has been on one train ops since at least August and it's driving me insane. I know they're doing work on the trains (or that's what we were told when I asked) but it's taking quite a while.
I think my highlight for SFFT this year was a rare trip with my mom. She got on her first coasters in probably 10+ years. Boomerang, Poltergeist, WW, and Iron Rattler. We were mostly there for holiday lights. Also on that trip we discovered that Poltergeist got some slight refurbishments in the form of brand new seat belts- longer ones too! No walks of shame for my brother on Poltergeist now!
Honestly, I can strongly agree with this. This year was absolute garbage with almost every ride unexpectedly closing, or just some weird malfunctions.
Hopefully next year in 2020 will be better.
(I went today; opening to closing time, and it was pretty fun. Not as many rides were closed fortunately)
Rollercoasters: I can't operate because it's too windy!

It’s funny
But rollercoasters do work differently to ferris wheels though mate
@@James-616 Really? I hadn't noticed. 😂
I went here first time it was amazing. Second time was slow operations, none of the rides were open and the ones that were open I didn’t want to go on.
Reminds me of several hours of the day when I was at Lake Compounce. That said it was very much offset by Boulder Dash marathons to start and end the day during the hours the school trip wasn't there, so every coaster in the park being closed for 60-70% of the day didn't really matter at the end.
I've heard rumor's that San Antonio is having power problems and it's effecting Fiesta Texas
That's a lie. I live in San Antonio and there are no power problems
In la cantera and the rim, the power grid is shit man. I’ve worked here for two seasons and the power shuts down 3-4 times a year here in this section of San Antonio. Everything faults out and I freak out. I remember gully washer draining randomly because of a power outage.
Dude, your almost at 20k subs! Keep up the good work. Enjoyed the video

The Flip it’s a number 9 large, and a number 6 with extra dip.
Just turn it upside down.
YOU MISSSSED THE GAWWWD DAMNN TRAIN CJ
Joshua Ford aw snap, here we go again.
that sucks, you just got unlucky. ive been there a couple times and everytime all the rides are open. maybe consider coming back sometimes later? the coasters you didnt get to ride are amazing! but better luck next time man.
I've gone 5 times since June and havent had any issues like this. You went on the wrong day my guy.. sucks
You and ElToroRyan... sorry to hear about the bad experiences. It's weird cause I've been there twice and had the absolute best times ever.
Ah yes my home park that I crap on every month I’ve been this year. I’ve vlogged probably 15 times there between March and September this year. Wonder Woman was closed half of those times, IRat was running one train 75% of those times, Superman was closed 3 or so times, and skip the line passes were never available to Diamond Elite members for Joker. People are finally starting to accept that this place isn’t all that great. #wheresourhyper
Hennisphere is there a height limit? Because Steel Eel is 150’.
Dosware Pictures Yes there is. It’s 200 ft I believe. Pretty sad because Tower of the Americas downtown is 750 ft tall. And the park is built almost 100 feet beneath the edge of the canyon wall
Hennisphere huh. The park is probably closer to an airport but I’m not sure. At least San Antonio has a hyper-ish coaster with the aforementioned Steel Eel.
I live in SA and honestly I didn’t realize how popular the park was until like my junior year of high school. If there was ever a bad day, you just left and came back the next day or weekend since you had the season pass. I can’t imagine having to plan a day here and am thankful I don’t need to
Sfa is my home park, and honestly that joke made me laugh
I work here and roadrunner was down because I had to call a condition B. Get everyone off and have them fix it because it was having trouble leaving the station because of the wind. Iron rattler was closed because of the wind. Ultimately this was a terrible time for six flags fiesta texas. As a ride operatior in crack axle canon, it was not under our control. The weather this year was a real pain, leaving lots of angry people getting after us for not letting them ride something for their own safety.
This is a fact and I am a operator in crack axle canyon. If we ran rattler, it would have condition A. (Riders get stuck) on the lift due to the structure being unstable. Y’all just wanna die, don’t y’all.
okumura cosplay ^^^ I could not have said it any better
