Holiday in the Park (SFFT)

Six Flags Fiesta Texas


Welcome to Six Flags over Fiesta Texas and Holiday in the Park.

We started off the day with Goliath

They did have some live entertainment around the park, but not much

Road Runner Express was next

The train bridge was all decorated

I liked how Sam had a Santa hat on

Big Spin was next

We went up in the Ferris Wheel to check out the lights

Check out the lights

Fiesta Texas had a sledding hill as well

Night rides on Scream were fun with all of the lights on

A nice big Christmas tree in the Rockville area

Love the look of the decorations here

Pretty

The decorations in Spassburg

Love the look of the train and its bridge

Lights in the main entrance area

They really did a nice job making it look festive

Thanks for a great day, Fiesta Texas

Holiday in the Park (SFOT)

Six Flags over Texas

Welcome to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags over Texas.

Some Christmas decor on the Spain arch

Took a spin on TITAN for our first ride of the day

Great decorations on the School

Some more decorations on the columns

We rode Runaway Mountain next.

Continuing on around, it was time for the Runaway Mine Train

We figured we probably needed to get a ride in on Big Spin while the line was short

A special attraction for the event was Frosty's Snow Hill

It was crazy going sledding in Texas

Frosty was there to greet park guests.

Since we were in the area, we rode Shockwave next

The park had some special live entertainment for the event

The show was basically about a magical toy store

While enjoyable, it was a little hard to follow the plot

We also went and watch the Honky Tonk Christmas Show

If you can get past the music selections, it wasn't bad

I wish they'd allow people to go up in the Oil Derrick to see the lights

Superman was light up in festive holiday green

Christmas lights around the main plaza area

Pretty lights all around the area

We had a great time at the park.  I highly recommend a visit.

Coaster Christmas V (SDC)

COASTER CHRISTMAS V

Welcome to ACE's Coaster Christmas V at Silver Dollar City.

The first coaster on ERT this year was ThuNderaTion.

The attendees enjoyed a nice, brisk ride through the hills.

Since we were still waiting for temperatures to rise, Fire in the Hole was next on ERT as we waited on PowderKeg.

It never did get warm enough so the park decided to open another of their coasters instead.

WildFire stepped in to fill that role.

Thanks to the wonderful crew at WildFire for stepping in to help out with ERT.

Next it was time for lunch.

There was a good turnout this year for Coaster Christmas.

Lisa Rau from SDC welcomed everyone to the presentation portion of the day.

New Worlds of Fun PR Manager, Brandon Stanley was next.  He discussed a brand new wooden rollercoaster coming next season to the park, PROWLER.

The presentation portion of the day concluded with a raffle by the park.

It was another great day at the park.
