Texas Tornado, originally Taz's Texas Tornado, was a Schwarzkopf looping coaster that operated at Six Flags AstroWorld from March 14, 1998 to 2000.
History[]
The ride opened at Six Flags AstroWorld on March 14, 1998 as Taz's Texas Tornado. In 1999, the "Taz's" part of the name was dropped. During its first year, this coaster had very positive reviews from guests but when summer hit, the heat and humidity seemed to disrupt operation. On very hot days the coaster suffered a lot of downtime. Texas Tornado continued to operate there in the 1999 and 2000 seasons with a lot of downtime on the hotter days. It seemed to run decently on milder and cooler days. At the end of the 2000 season, Six Flags decided to remove the ride but it stayed at AstroWorld in 2001 but did not operate that season. Early in 2002, it was moved out of Six Flags AstroWorld and into storage. In 2003, the coaster was relocated to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom as Zonga, lasting for only 2 seasons. It was later relocated to a fair in Mexico, where it operated until 2013-2014 and was put in storage until 2021-2022.
