Holiday in the Park (SFOT)

 

Welcome to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags over Texas

The main square area is very festive looking

The Majestic Tree of Lights is a tree that dances to music

Jolly Holiday is a grand performance that takes place on the Carousel Stage

Four of your favorite characters appear in this show

Along with a talented cast of singers and dancers

You can catch the show nightly at 8pm

The Holiday Express Light Spectacular is a brand new experience this year

If you depart from the Texas Station you will get to see a light show on your way to the Boomtown Station

Fun show - and yes unfortunate that the tree was right there for us

In the Texas section you can do Karoke with Carol Kringle

Christmas Crooners featuring the singing reindeer at the Blacksmith Shop 

Johnson's Creek Critter Corral

An interesting addition this year was the Holiday House of Horrors.  This was an upcharge haunted house.  It was actually pretty expensive in my opinion

Here you can see Krampus at the exit (before he went back inside)

The main show was once again at the Southern Palace

This year's Christmas at the Southern Palace actually had a story instead of being just a musical review with dancers

It was very good

Stilt-walkers roaming the park

North Pole-A-Palooza performed on the Gotham City Stage

I actually preferred the all-female group they had here last year instead

Six Flags over Texas

 

Welcome back to Six Flags over Texas

We started off the day at La Vibora - strangely enough we were on the first bobsled of the day

I have always liked the look of the Spain section

Titan was our next destination

Such a forceful ride.  Anyone else start to grey out in this section?

New Texas Giant was next

The OG of the RMC coasters still delivers

Pirates of Speelunkers Cave was our next destination

For some odd reason. the park did not operate this ride last Holiday in the Park so this was our first ride ever on this latest version of the park's boat ride

We went in blind, not knowing what was in store.  Wow is it weird

It started off very Pirates of the Caribbean-ish and then goes weird with these creatures

Next was Superman: Tower of Power.  Thank goodness for the single rider line because they were only running one of the towers today and there was a long line

The Oil Derrick was closed.  Sad.  I bet the lights at night would look neat from up there

The Runaway Mine Train is really rough.  I know people say ThuNderaTion at SDC is rough, but I think this is a lot worse

I will still ride it - but will definitely have the Tylenol ready for when I return to the station

Of course I dominated on Justice League.  Top 2% like normal

The Mr. Freeze at Six Flags over Texas is weird

So they made a big deal (last time I was here) about turning the trains back around so they launch forward.  Now they have one going forward and the other is backwards.  Oh and there is ZERO signage to let you know which is which when you are queuing.  

I ended up riding backwards.  I would have tried the forward side too if the line wasn't so long

Batman the Ride was solid ride like normal

I do like their color scheme - I don't want it at St. Louis, but it does pop here

Catwoman Whip looks strange here.  Are you sure this isn't Supergirl?

Joker Jinx is so much fun - I'm excited for our own (which I think is taller?) next year at St. Louis

I like how they have a single rider line for Pandemonium.  Wish we had one at St. Louis

Shockwave was finally open AND running so we went there next

Thankfully we got a ride in before it went down AGAIN

Christmas at Runaway Mountain is AWESOME

Christmas lights and music really add to the ride inside the mountain

We also rode the train

Check out the Holiday in the Park update to see why it is a must ride this time of year
