Dragon Slayer (Adventureland)


Construction has really ramped up at the Dragon Slayer site

Two large pieces of machinery are aiding in creating the footers for the new attraction

As you can see a large amount of dirt has already been removed

Another look at that pile

Here you can see the drill in progress

A loader helping out with the drilling process

Six Flags over Texas


Welcome to Six Flags over Texas

It is always fun to visit the original Six Flags park

We started off our day in Spain with La Vibora

Conquistador

El Sombrero

El Diablo

New Texas Giant, the original RMC hybrid, still provides an amazing ride

It is still one of my favorite projects done by RMC

I always love riding Shock Wave

This old school looper still delivers the thrills

Superman Power of Tower is the park's trio of S&S tower rides

Runaway Minetrain is the original Arrow minetrain.  It was a little rough, not going to lie

Texas SkyScreamer

Judge Roy Scream.  One lap was enough

Catwoman Whip

The Joker is another S&S 4D Freespin Coaster

Riddler Revenge.  I love these rides

Batman the Ride

Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast - yep, a mirror image version of our's in St. Louis

Pandemonium

Titan finally decided to open in the late afternoon

...and immediately closed back down two laps after mine.

Rodeo is a fun flat ride

The Oil Derrick was actually open for a change

Pretty good views of the park, including the NOW "New for 2021" Aquaman ride


Pretty neat seeing New Texas Giant in motion from up here

One last ride on New Texas Giant before the end of the day.
We had a great time at the park

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Welcome to Six Flags Fiesta Texas

This park has one of the best entrance areas

Seriously you could convince me that this was Epcot with the level of detail

The first coaster you encounter when you enter the park is Goliath

Goliath is a B&M inverted rollercoaster and it is a lot of fun

Also in the area is Boomerang Coast to Coaster

The main reason I am here today is because of this coaster - Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster

This single rail marvel is known as a RMC Raptor and it is amazing

The front seat provides an amazing visual of how small that rail really is and the back seat tries to launch you out of your restraint the entire ride.  It is a lot of fun

Batman the Ride is a S&S 4D Free Spin Coaster.  It is pretty crazy

Speaking of Crazy, this is the Joker Carnival of Chaos.

The queue line features an insane fun house themed to different Batman villains

The ride itself is billed as the world's tallest pendulum ride

Superman Krypton Coaster, the park's B&M floorless coaster delivers an awesome ride

SkyScreamer

The flume ride here is themed to Bugs Bunny and the Singing Sword

Seriously the atmosphere at the park is amazing

Poltergeist is a Premier launch coaster 

Scream is the park's trio of S&S tower rides

Heading into the Fiesta Bay Boardwalk area

Here you can see Spinsanity (tilt-a-whirl) and Fireball

Pandemonium

The park's ferris wheel has a nice setting

Hustler is a really neatly themed ride

Gullywasher was popular today.  It was rather warm

Iron Rattler is the park's RMC hybrid steel/wood coaster and it is a lot of fun

Next door is one of the best minetrains ever built - Roadrunner Express

This park is just amazing.  Cannot wait to visit again in the future
