This is a great high capacity’ish ride needed to keep supporting SFFT’s growth. Glad B&M is back in the game with six flags, if this ride is a success, look for more to come at parks across the country.
While I'd love to have it dive off of the quarry wall, I'll still be excited for this one. I am hoping that there is some on ride theming before the lift hill but it doesn't look like there will be. I think a show building with a dark ride portion similar to the indoor section of Baron 1898 would really be amazing given how much they are trying to sell the theme here. For me personally, if there isn't a show building portion that will be an even bigger missed opportunity.
I love dive coasters, probably because they've not been overdone in the UK. I mean we've got the first one too, Oblivion. Still one of my faves. I would love to go on some of the bigger ones!
Ok, explanation for the quarry wall: with all the work they've already done with it, any further construction would destabilize the wall. They basically can't do anything else with it because the extreme risk of a landslide if they do.
Texas was way overdue for a new B&M, I’m glad SFFT is getting this. Even if it’s not going to be the best thing ever, it’s definitely gonna be a hit for SFFT and it’s a game changer for the chain now that they’re working with B&M again. If SFFT can get a woodie at some point down the line, then I think they’ll have a pretty complete lineup, but in the meantime, Dr. D will work.
Maybe they'll wait on the wooden coaster. Sea World just added one, and Six Flags doesn't really like to wooden coasters because of the maintenance costs.
@@kristenlewis8680 I don’t think SeaWorld adding one will factor in whether or not SFFT gets one soon, they both already have Batman clones anyway, so two woodies with two different layouts definitely wouldn’t be a big deal. Six Flags may have not added a woodie in a while, but I do have a theory, SFFT is one of the parks in the chain that takes better care of their rides and gets quite a bit of love compared to some other parks, so I think Six Flags would be okay with adding one at SFFT because of that, plus none of the Six Flags parks have or have ever had a Gravity Group woodie, so like how SFFT is getting the chain’s first B&M Dive Coaster, they could get the chain’s first Gravity Group at some point down the line.
@@kristenlewis8680 I’m going to keep my fingers crossed for it, cause they could fit something around the size of or a tad bit bigger than Boardwalk Bullet back behind the boardwalk without having to remove Pandemonium, I wouldn’t be too upset if Pandemonium had to get removed to fit something bigger back there, but I’d rather it stay so that way the park would add a coaster rather than remove one and replace it with another, especially when Pandemonium is useful for the lineup.
A complete line up? They’re missing a stand out launch coaster and no hyper/ giga coaster of any kind. Also over Texas is over due. We haven’t got anything!
I’m personally psyched as dive coasters are always fun. That said, if they had at least put the ride next to the quarry wall the Cliffhanger name would be perfect.
I heard it was because building on the quarry wall has developed some structural issues but I don’t know if that’s in general or just with heavier rides. Either way, a B&M dive is a very heavy coaster
This is so exciting for Texas enthusiasts, other than the RMC conversions, we've been getting relatively small coasters and clones for almost 2 decades, I'm just so happy we're finally getting something major! but daaaang Over Texas needs some love soon, Aquaman just ain't gonna cut it anymore 😬
I read a comment on Reddit when this was announced that SFFT is having stability issues with the quarry wall so building rides using it is going to be challenging going forward (if that comment is true of course).
From what I’ve heard, the quarry wall isn’t stable enough to support another coaster. That’s why they didn’t put this up there. But the reason you mentioned was probably also the case.
I would have probably seen b&m working with six flags again before intamin and even gci, so I wouldn't say it's the last thing I expected. Definitely not the first though
Y’all have Ron McKenzie as park president now, y’all are in good hands, believe me, improvements are already there, and it’s gonna keep getting better.
Over Texas is my home park too! We haven’t gotten anything great but it’s nice to see the park cleaner, things that didn’t work are working again. Also they are amazing at bringing out characters! We have gotten to see everyone but Taz and Yosemite Sam. But yes, we do need another roller coaster extremely bad.
@@martinmedina9174 I think y’all will get one fairly soon, with Ron steering the ship, y’all will get something good eventually, y’all may have to sacrifice a ride, but either way, Ron won’t let y’all down, heck the Spelunker Cave is coming back with a Pirate theme!
@@tylarlozano1229 who is Ron? May I ask what’s his background. And I think shockwave needs to go it’s holding on strings literally. Or one of the mine trains we got. Or that Water rapid ride that hasn’t opened since 2019 or 2018. And I can’t wait to see what they do with that. That back area is dead and needs something so I’m excited! Idk what the ride is about 😂
@@martinmedina9174 Ron McKenzie is y’all’s new park president y’all got towards the end of last year, as far as what I know of his background, he’s worked at Astroworld, SFSL, most recently SFFT with Jeffrey Siebert, and now he’s the park president at SFOT, if you ever meet him you’ll definitely be able to tell that he’s very influenced with how Jeffrey Siebert is running SFFT, so now he’s been working on bringing that same charm back to SFOT as best he can, and believe me, it ain’t done yet. Also, Shockwave should absolutely stay at the park, it’s one of the better coasters at the park, and from what I know is pretty low maintenance, but when it does need maintenance, Ron McKenzie surely won’t let y’all down.
Hoping this means that SFSTL gets a B&M mega. They *need* an airtime-focused ride. IMO American Thunder is more focused on the twistiness factor, and screamin eagle doesn't give much.
I don’t think Taylor realizes that Dr. diabolical is D.C it’s from Batman read the bottom of the screen where it says the copyrights the roller coaster has On the bottom of the screen
Never understood why people are hating on this ride, it’s probably cause they were expecting the axis coaster but i think it’s going to be a great fit for this park. this is my home park and i’m so excited!
Very exciting. And still shocked that Six Flags is working with B&M (about time). Maybe they finally realized that doing things cheap isn’t always best, and they need to shell out extra cash. Hopefully this is a sign of better things to come for Six Flags. Although I doubt a dive coaster would make it to my home park anytime soon since Great Adventure already has 5 B&Ms
They got entirely new ownership back in January including a former member of the Cedar Fair board, so think of this as a test for that kind of business model and expect a new business model very similar to CF’s to emerge in Six Flags in the next several years.
We need green lantern removed or sold off and converted to floorless. Then they could put something just like this in it's place. It'd be cool to see it from entering and the parking lot as well.
This is one of our home parks and we also did an analysis on our channel. We’re equally excited for the airtime hill! Not sure on the truth to it but the rumor is they can’t/won’t build on the quarry wall anymore. Still a B&M dive coaster is going to be HUGE for San Antonio!
This ride is more inspired than Valravn, which is saying something when a Six Flags B&M dive coaster is more inspired than a Cedar Point 'record-breaker' that feels like a filler attraction for a park that doesn't need filler.
0:26 "...actually the steepest B&M ever built." Is it really? let's fact check that. RCDB list Gatekeer at Cedar Point drop at 164 feet. I personally don't think rides like Gatekeeper or even Kennywood's Steel Curtain really have a drop, but more of a pull-out of an inversion. However, if they are going to list it as a drop, then it has to have an angle of decent. Whatever that angle is, I will contend is greater than Dr. D's and thus large wing coasters like Falcon and Gatekeeper would be B&M's largest and first beyond vertical drops. and all the other B&M wing coasters that feature what RCDB ironically calls a "Dive Drop" would in fact be steeper!
Dive coasters are some of my favorites. I am an untraditional enthusiast. I defy the odds. But seriously, I get the vibe a lot more of us love them, but don’t admit it
I know, blah blah blah dive coaster rattle vest restraint bad and ride forceless, but I actually really enjoyed Valravn after riding. It was just a fun experience, and I feel the self-proclaimed “enthusiasts” look too hard for airtime and Gs that they miss that it’s built to be fun. Dive coasters are some of my favorites and I’m glad more are popping up here in America.
Having spent the day at sfft yesterday, the coaster looks incredible, really close to the walking path making it look larger, and the drop looks intense, currently working on the station house
A Dive coaster is always gonna be a major crowd pleaser which is never bad for business… but it’s called cliffhanger… why it isn’t diving off the cliff is beyond me!
It's about time. So happy for Fiesta Texas. I hope to get to see it. My first dive coaster was The Griffin at Bush Gardens, Williamsburg. It was great. I wish Dr Diabolical's Cliffhanger had an water element such as The Griffin, but with the water shortages Texas has I can understand why it won't.
@@TylerPCoyne It depends on what you mean by that. Jersey Devil is getting pseudo-cloned over at Magic Mountain. And this plot of land is pretty flat - it wouldn't shock me if the contract for Dr D included the option for more, the layout is definitely cloneable.
Next up Holiday world introduces the tallest steepest fastest and longest Dive coaster in the world we know it’s been a whopping 6 since holiday world added a roller coaster and they did just work with B&M and I see them doing it again since thunderbird has proven to be reliable.
Looked like a near clone of Sheikra at Busch Gardens Tampa until I saw the helix at the end of the run... I love helixes with their centrifugal force factor! Overall... looks like a great addition and stays away from clone status enough to be interesting.
Reminder: Doctor Diabolical is a total nobody among DC villains, so this is a really obscurely themed coaster. If you're wondering who this guy is, he's one of the Inferior Five's rogues gallery, only appearing once, in Inferior Five #7. I think DC might be planning on using Doctor Diabolical for something in the near future.
It would be better if it had regular over the shoulder restraints and not the terrible vest restraints. Hopefully this, Valravn, and Yukon Striker will get that much needed upgrade to over the shoulder restraints
I definitely loved to hear a dive coaster coming to Fiesta, but it seems a bit short, kinda like Defiance at Colorado’s Glenwood Park. It really only has the 2 inversions and drop, but I really like the edition.
A lot of people talk about what six flags park could get a B&M but I feel like some of the cedar fair parks might get a dive coaster similar to this ride.
I love when people try to question corporate logic ie when deciding WHERE to place a multi-million dollar attraction. You can't question it, just follow the money, and your confusion will dissipate.
During the announment, when they said it was a dive and I knew it was B&M, I thought it had to go off the Corey wall. Your giving Fiesta, the park with already 3 coasters that go up the wall, a dive and it has the word cliffhanger in the name. But I bet they would of thought of that and it probably didn't work out but I am not mad. At least B&M is working with B&M again. I think this will be on pier of Valravn with Emperor stats.
I don't wanna hear any complaining about this coaster tbh. 2020 nearly shut down every amusement park. The fact that Six Flags of all parks is investing so heavily in a new ride, from B&M no less, is amazing. And it looks like a solid coaster to make their lineup just a bit better than it already is
The reason that Six Flags didn't put the coaster on the quarry wall was because they didn't want to put too much stress on it. With Iron Rattler, Superman, and the hotels near the park weighing down on the wall, Six Flags didn't want to take chances.
Six flags needs a giga coaster. They should put it in Texas. Either fiesta Texas or six flags over Texas. At over Texas they should rebuild the Titan and make it a giga coaster
Was there last week. Bummed it wasn't operational yet, but looks awesome. For another ride in the future, I'd like to see a decent coaster in the Boardwalk area. Take out the go kart track. Leave Pandemonium and build around and or through it. There's land over there.
Tbh six flags should start getting b&m and Intimin to put gigas in their parks. So many six flags parks like great adventure could benefit way more from a giga than something like a dive coaster, and it would give other parks a chance to compete against cedar point.
This is meant to be a sign that Six Flags is working with B&M again which confirms that Magic Mountain is getting a Giga in 2023. Mark your calendars ladies and gentleman
Thanks for the overview! I live in Austin and haven’t been back to fiesta in about 4 years.. looking forward to this one and glad they got rid of a stage they never used.
The ride turned out pretty good, the main drop is pretty standard for its size but I think what really took my by surprise is the small airtime hills in the second half. Those airtime hills mixed in with super low banked helixes are very good especially if your on an end seat. That last helix is super low to the ground it almost feels like you can touch the ground its really cool.
I'm waiting to see how much room will be left for guess to sit when watching the fireworks. This is my home park and I always remember the hill being full. So I'm curious as to how that will work out.
Great vid Taylor!! I agree with everything you said about this addition, and I wish I could go down there to experience it as I have never even been to SFFT before, but sadly I don’t know when that’s gonna happen.
Hey y’all! Fiesta Texas ride op here. Wanted to give some info about the que house. There will indeed be a pre show in that big themed building that you see there. Should be great, more surprises coming soon!
As a ride operator at six flags fiesta Texas, I am so excited and hopeful that I’ll be able to operate this ride. It’ll be super fun and crazy with the 3 trains. Plus they bought a 4th train for maintenance :)
Crazy how Six Flags just goes full in with a B&M. Also noticing smarter company decisions as of late. I don’t think we’ll be seeing one of those corny announcement videos this year.
Six Flags got new ownership including a former member of the Cedar Fair board, so I’m expecting a lot of similarities to the CF business model in the future.
Actually shiekra at bgt is 78 miles closer. 1184 miles. Vs 1262 miles to seaworld San diego. Lol so that puts this basically dead smack in the center of the country.
By approximately 13 minutes, Busch Gardens Tampa is closer than SeaWorld San Diego. So basically, if either San Antonio, Houston, Baton Rouge, or Tampa have severe traffic issues, San Diego will be closer.
I’m not mad that they didn’t incorporate the quarry wall, because I honestly don’t know where they would put it. What I am disappointed about is the vest restraints. I would be much more excited if it had standard Otr restraints.
the park president said the trains and the restraints were modified to give more fun experience. we’ll see if the vests are retractable during airtime moments.

Really it's been ten years since any Six Flags park added a B&M coaster? What was the last B&M coaster Six Flags added?
X-flight at Great America!
For the the wall, six flags would need to reinforced the limestone and it would be very expensive

Ok, explanation for the quarry wall: with all the work they've already done with it, any further construction would destabilize the wall. They basically can't do anything else with it because the extreme risk of a landslide if they do.
thats why they have chain link over the parts of the wall where coasters are
@@ThemeParkUpdate
Exactly, but that can only help contain rock and possible debris in the event of a landslide. It won't prevent one.
They don’t even run the train anymore because of the dangers of coming in and out of the wall tunnel .

Was there last week. Bummed it wasn't operational yet, but looks awesome. For another ride in the future, I'd like to see a decent coaster in the Boardwalk area. Take out the go kart track. Leave Pandemonium and build around and or through it. There's land over there.
6:48 SFOT: 😐
Tbh six flags should start getting b&m and Intimin to put gigas in their parks. So many six flags parks like great adventure could benefit way more from a giga than something like a dive coaster, and it would give other parks a chance to compete against cedar point.
This is meant to be a sign that Six Flags is working with B&M again which confirms that Magic Mountain is getting a Giga in 2023. Mark your calendars ladies and gentleman
The queue line thing reminds me of What’sInTheShed in 2016-17
Thanks for the overview! I live in Austin and haven’t been back to fiesta in about 4 years.. looking forward to this one and glad they got rid of a stage they never used.
The ride turned out pretty good, the main drop is pretty standard for its size but I think what really took my by surprise is the small airtime hills in the second half. Those airtime hills mixed in with super low banked helixes are very good especially if your on an end seat. That last helix is super low to the ground it almost feels like you can touch the ground its really cool.
I'm waiting to see how much room will be left for guess to sit when watching the fireworks. This is my home park and I always remember the hill being full. So I'm curious as to how that will work out.
Great vid Taylor!! I agree with everything you said about this addition, and I wish I could go down there to experience it as I have never even been to SFFT before, but sadly I don’t know when that’s gonna happen.
Taylor asks what’s in that Funhouse I’m thinking another what’s in the shed
I was just there yesterday and they have rethemed all of Crackaxle Canyon to steampunk.
I think something that should be looked at is its potential to be cloned for other major six flags parks
Day four of saying how long it takes for Taylor to respond to this comment
The color scheme is awesome. But not sure why the 7 across seating? That’s odd.
This ride has a bit more going on than Sheikra but Sheikra is still awesome.
Good to see the start with B&M so maybe other parks will get one soon.
It’s about time that one of the Six Flags parks in Texas got a really good coaster. I’m excited for this one!
Can you do a analysis on Fønix at Fårup sommerland
Really Taylor?
Apple Maps? Seriously??
This is gonna remove a lot of the lines for the other big coasters too so this is a mega W
I believe shiekra does 8 across 24 per train
I actually think it will be the best coaster at the park
I can’t wait.My fav is wonder women and rattler
I really like the look of this new coaster!
This would be a great clone model
So are they tearing down Sundance theatre ?
Hey y’all! Fiesta Texas ride op here. Wanted to give some info about the que house. There will indeed be a pre show in that big themed building that you see there. Should be great, more surprises coming soon!
How is this the steepest in the world when Fahrenheit at HersheyPark is a 97° initial drop?
It’s the steepest on a dive coaster and steepest b and m. Also Fahrenheit is not the steepest coaster in the world
The future of Six Flags is wicked scary
I don’t know why, but this coaster reminds me of the album cover of Dystopia by Megadeth
As a ride operator at six flags fiesta Texas, I am so excited and hopeful that I’ll be able to operate this ride. It’ll be super fun and crazy with the 3 trains. Plus they bought a 4th train for maintenance :)
Crazy how Six Flags just goes full in with a B&M. Also noticing smarter company decisions as of late. I don’t think we’ll be seeing one of those corny announcement videos this year.
Six Flags got new ownership including a former member of the Cedar Fair board, so I’m expecting a lot of similarities to the CF business model in the future.
@@aleksthevoyager1260 Yeah, I heard
I'm glad it's 95* and not 91 xd
Should of dropped it into a tunnel
I think that dr diabolical could have been a lot better, with 4-5 inversions, however, I think the gp will l over this ride.
Actually shiekra at bgt is 78 miles closer. 1184 miles. Vs 1262 miles to seaworld San diego. Lol so that puts this basically dead smack in the center of the country.
By approximately 13 minutes, Busch Gardens Tampa is closer than SeaWorld San Diego. So basically, if either San Antonio, Houston, Baton Rouge, or Tampa have severe traffic issues, San Diego will be closer.
I’m not mad that they didn’t incorporate the quarry wall, because I honestly don’t know where they would put it. What I am disappointed about is the vest restraints. I would be much more excited if it had standard Otr restraints.
the park president said the trains and the restraints were modified to give more fun experience. we’ll see if the vests are retractable during airtime moments.
@@weedle4736 that would be cool
Is this based on DC villain?
