Goliath - inverted coaster. With suspended roller coasters the trains/seats would be able to move around more freely while on inverted coasters they are completely still, attached to the wheel carriage and cannot do that at all - but both are the kinds where "your feet dangle". 😬👍🏼 And, yep, Jacob, you're correct with your memory about the meaning when it comes to Six Flags. ! ~

My biggest criticism for Fiesta Texas for a while was their lack of themeing. Apparently, I wasnt the only one that saw this problem, because about 5 years ago was when they really started upping their themeing game. They completely redid the queue line for Poltergeist and made it way better, the Joker has amazing themeing, Dr. Diabolical as well. They've really started trying to make a much more emersive expirience for everyone.

The theming for the roller coasters isn’t that great now that I think about it, but the theming of the actual park itself is the best I’ve seen out of any six flags I’ve been to so far. The Fiesta theme when you first walk in is beautiful, the 50’s theming in the area where the Batman is is awesome looking, the German looking area is also quite nice, and the board walk is cool as well. Not to mention that the park is surrounded by a beautiful quarry.

I prefer the old six flags fiesta Texas because the theme for fiesta Texas is well I guess was Warner bros and justice league therefore the Scooby doo ride was just fine there was no need to remove it along with all the other rides they removed to make room for the stupid justice league rides it’s seriously upsetting 🙄😠😠

The Six Flags were the six that governed Texas (Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, The United States of America, & The Confederate States of America) founded in 1957 and began building in 1960.

I remember when Fiesta Texas was all by itself out there. It was 90's San Antonio and nowadays it's all developed out that way.

@tastx3142 Жыл бұрын

I live about a mile away from the park and moved there when it was still owned by the working quarry across IH10. The parcel where the park sits was sold to USAA and an upscale mall was to be built except the economy tanked. Fiesta Texas was opened with the emphasis on music and each area had themes with musical/dancing venues. We were season pass holders for years but the themed areas declined as did the musical shows.

Great video Jacob. It may interest you to know that the coaster you talked about at the beginning - Goliath - is one of the few attractions that was saved from the abandoned Six Flags New Orleans after that park flooded. It was called Batman the Ride before it was relocated to Fiesta Texas. Definitely a bucket list park for me!

@Sparty-pi3jq Жыл бұрын

I honestly had no clue, that they rescued any of the big rides from New Orleans. I assumed the water wouldve just totaled out the ride, entirely. Thanks for this info!

@jesusyapias4393 Жыл бұрын

@@Sparty-pi3jq From what I had heard years ago, there were only two roller coasters from Six Flags New Orleans that were rescued. One was this that became Goliath and the other was a family ride that is now themed to the Road Runner from Looney Tunes, and it is located in Six Flags Magic Mountain.

The six Flags represent Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, US and Confederate States of America. All six have governed Texas at some point in time. (Source Six Flags Wikipedia page)

San Antonio resident here, the "Six Flags" that have flown over Texas are: Spain, Mexico, France, Republic of Texas (now the Texas state flag), Confederacy, and the US flag. Fiesta Texas was given a German area because of the large German population and culture in and around San Antonio.

I truly love all the older parks that remind me of the traveling carnival that would come to town for a few days to whisk excitement into our lives!!!!

My mother and I were there in the 90s and there were music in all the sections. There weren't loony tunes characters. Germany was represented because there was Germans living in an area of San Antonio that has beautiful late 19th century mansions. Mariachi bands playing and a 50s themed section. It was fun back then.

We live nearby and see plenty of people losing cellphones on the rides as they try to film. They won’t even let you keep a tight fitting ball cap on so a GoPro wouldn’t likely be allowed. We went a few days ago and someone a few rows in front of us was recording the ride on the Rattler and when he lost his grip it luckily missed the people behind him. As you climb to get to the ride you can always see lost items on the roofs of nearby structures. Losing your camera/phone affects you, but if it hits someone in the face or eye, it can cause a lot of different damage.
