Not to be confused with Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

Six Flags Over Texas is a Six Flags theme park located in Arlington, Texas. It opened on August 5, 1961 as the original Six Flags park, created by company founder Angus G. Wynne. It is Six Flags' flagship park.

The park features 13 roller coasters and over 100 other thrilling rides and attractions spread across nine uniquely themed areas, most of which are based in historical fiction (the "Six Flags" over Texas), while others are based on Warner Bros. properties such as DC Entertainment and Looney Tunes.

Development and construction[]

While visiting Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California upon its grand opening in 1955, Texas real estate developer Angus G. Wynne, Jr. was awestruck and inspired by how entertaining and popular the groundbreaking theme park was. After his visit, Wynne decided that his home state needed something similar, but with some Texas history mixed in.

In 1958, plans for such a theme park in Texas were developed by Wynne and the Great Southwest Corporation. Wynne was backed by investors from New York, who were enthusiastic about the project.

Initially, the park was planned to only last a few years as a way to fund various projects for the Great Southwest Industrial District, since Wynne did not expect the park to be a huge hit in the way that Disneyland had been.

In August 1960, construction crews broke ground on Six Flags Over Texas' 105-acre site, which was located midway between Dallas and Fort Worth. At the time, Wynne expected the park to be completed on time to open the next year.

At the end of construction, the Great Southwest Corporation had spent over $10 million (approximately $85 million adjusted for inflation as of 2019) on Six Flags Over Texas.

1961: Grand opening[]

Six Flags Over Texas opened its gates for a special "soft test opening" from July 29 to August 4, 1961, where Angus G. Wynne had invited several local corporations as well as friends and family to get an early look at the park before it opened to the public.

On Saturday, August 5, 1961, Six Flags Over Texas officially opened to the public. In the grand opening ceremony, the mayors of the cities of Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, and Irving were invited to help open the park. At exactly 10:00 AM, Six Flags Over Texas opened its gates.

The park saw 8,734 people show up for the opening, much more than were expected. Admission was $2.75 for adults, and $2.25 for children, and parking was 50 cents. On the park's opening day, guests could visit the six original sections of the park: Mexico, Spain, France, The Confederacy, The United States, and Texas.

The Star Mall in Six Flags Over Texas' opening season

Six Flags Over Texas was a huge success in its first season, with over 550,000 visitors in the 45 days the park operated. Before the season was over, park engineers began working on improvements for the 1962 season. One of these improvements was the relocation of Sidewinder, the park's wild mouse roller coaster, to Mexico, where it would be renamed La Cucaracha.

The park reopened for its second season on April 20, 1962. A second track was added to the Happy Motoring Freeway on the former site of Sidewinder, and the Chaparral Antique Cars were added in the Texas section. In the Confederacy section, An extension of Skull Island was also built, entitled Pirate's Island, and the "Red Train" on the Six Flags & Texas Railroad was finished and put on-line on July 5. The Los Conquistadores mule pack ride was closed at the end of the season after just two seasons of operation.

In 1963, El Aserradero was added to the Spain section on the former site of Los Conquistadores. It was the world's first log flume and a concept that was duplicated at later parks. That year also saw the introduction of Boomtown, the first-ever new land to be added to the park. It featured the Sky Hook and Carousel, as well as a second train depot for the Six Flags & Texas Railroad, as well as several food and shopping locations, including Dry Hole Charlie's. To make way for Boomtown, the first track of the Happy Motoring Freeway had been shortened. Las Cocheses Cabras, the park's goat ride attraction, was removed at the end of the season.

The 1964 season saw the introduction of the wildly popular dark ride The Cave, known affectionately by fans of the park as the Speelunker's Cave. This ride was centered around the Speelunkers, creatures that dwell in caves. The run of the Stagecoach ride was shortened, and its queue house moved from next to Chicken Plantation to across from The Cave. On Skull Island, a long suspension bridge and three "swamp tree slides" were added. The Caddo War Canoes, which had been located in the Confederacy section, was relocated to Boomtown. At the end of the season the Indian Village and La Cucaracha were removed.

In 1965, El Sombrero replaced the Sidewinder in Mexico, in the location where La Cucaracha had been located. Also that season, the Shooting Gallery was built. The Six Flags Circus debuted in a new arena outside the Texas section, which only lasted that season. Three new swamp slides were added, the Caddo War Canoes were added to Boomtown, and new animatronics were added to the Stagecoach and Riverboat rides.

In 1968, Spindletop was moved between the Southern Palace Theater and Skull Island. The Sky Hook was removed at the end of the season. A second flume was added to El Asseradero, and the Krofft's Puppet Theater opened. The long suspension bridge and three swamp tree slides that were added to Skull Island in 1964 were at the end of the season.

In 1969, the Cinesphere Chevy Show debuted in a new theater building in the Texas section. That year, Angus G. Wynne sold Six Flags Over Texas to a limited partnership headed by Jack Knox. The Oil Derrick was also added, alongside a "Tower Slide" that ran alongside it, as well as the Mini Mine Train in Boomtown.

In 1970, Jet Set in the USA section closed.

In 1971, Penn Central officially assumed operation of Six Flags Over Texas. A new roller coaster named the Big Bend was added to the USA section. It was a "Speed Racer" model roller coaster manufactured by Schwarzkopf.

For the 1972 season, the Rugged Buggy was added to the Petting Zoo in the park's USA section. The Boomtown Railroad station was demolished at the end of the season after just nine seasons of operation.

For the 1973 season, the Good Time Square section of the park opened. At the time, it was the largest new area to be added to the park, usurping 1963's Boomtown. Among the new attractions added were Doc Snooker's Infernal Electric Bumping Machines (Bumper Cars), the original version of Crazy Legs, a miniature circus exhibit, and the Good Time Square Railroad Depot.

In 1974, the 4,500-seat Music Mill Amphitheater was built, and the Arena in the Texas section, the Flying Indian Spectacular show, and the Flying Jenny (formerly the Little Dixie Carousel) in the Confederate section were removed at the end of the season.

The 1975 season began on March 15, 1975, and a new mascot was introduced at the park, the whimsical inventor Cyrus Cosmo, who is explained to be the inventor of all the fun attractions found at the park. To help usher him into the park he is the central figure of a new parade, the Electric Light Brigade Parade. Rotoriculous, one of Cyrus Cosmo's inventions, was added to the back of Good Time Square between the Bumper Cars and Crazy Legs. The season ends on November 30.

The 1976 season began on March 13, 1976. The Texas Chute Out was added to Good Time Square that year, and the Tower Slide attached to the Oil Derrick and the Skull Island Rafts were removed. The season ended on November 28, 1976.

At the end of the season, Big Bend was removed and sent to Six Flags Over Mid-America, where it was planned to be rebuilt but was eventually scrapped. The Banderas de Colores covered walkway in the Mexico section was also removed.

For the 1980 season, the new wooden roller coaster Judge Roy Scream opened. This new "out and back" roller coaster was designed by Don Rosser and Bill Cobb, manufactured by William Cobb & Associates, and named after Judge Roy Bean, the 19th century Justice of the Peace. The ride was actually somewhat of an afterthought, as the original 1980 attraction was intended to be a bobsled coaster. However, the park could not get it to work properly and ultimately called on Rosser and Cobb to design an all-new wooden roller coaster to fill its place with the remaining $2 million budget. The AstroLift, Track 1 of the Happy Motoring Freeway, Crazy Legs, and the Miniature Circus Exhibit are all removed at the end of the season.

In 1981, Conquistador opened in the Spain section of the park. The Kiddie Ferris Wheel was also added in the Tower section next to the Oil Derrick.

The Spindletop is also moved to the Texas section, and the Texas Tornado is added to Good Times Square in the former spot of Crazy Legs.

In 1984, the Great Six Flags Air Racer opened in the Tower Section. The US High Diving Show was debuted in place of the dolphin show, and the first "Spring Break Out" event takes place.

In 1986, Six Flags Over Texas celebrated its 25th Anniversary with the opening of Avalanche Bobsled, which finally a bobsled roller coaster to the park after one had initially been planned and constructed at the park for the 1980 season but was ultimately replaced by Judge Roy Scream.

This resulted in a scaled down Fire and Ice Winter Festival and the loss of all other special events added in 2021. In March, the park made the addition of several new single rider lines. A few weeks later, all single rider lines, including the ones previously present, were removed. Most single rider lines have now been returned. On March 16, it was announced that Casa Magnetica would close during the summer and re-open for the fall. It's last day of operation was March 20. On April 9, while not confirmed by the park, it's believed that a fire took place inside of Pirates of Speelunker Cave after the park was already closed.

On June 16, 2022, riders of New Texas Giant participated in the World's Largest Roller Coaster Ride to celebrate the anniversary of Switchback Railway. On July 6, Aquaman: Power Wave's opening was once again delayed to Spring 2023. In late August 2023, the park annouced that El Aserradero would be converted into one of the world's longest log flume rides known as El Rio Lento as a part of their 2024 announcement. However, a few days after the announcement video was released, rumors that originated from Screascape were spreading which stated that Selim had quietly cancelled the El Rio Lento project. Six Flags Over Texas did not acknowledge the attraction being canceled and simultaniously removed it from their website. While there was no official statement that led to the cancelation, it was speculated that most of Six Flags' 2024 attractions were last minute editions.
