Six Flags Fiesta Texas (SFFT) Discussion Thread

Looks like Six Flags needs a lesson from Scarywood: http://www.rollercoasteralley.com/news10.16.12_Scarywood2012_Page1.php

SUPER AWESOME IRON RATTLER UPDATE!

Dropped by the La Cantera parking lot tonight to check on the progress and then proceeded to explode with happiness. The first new track piece is in place along with a lot of new wood. Apologies for the mediocre pictures. Taking iPhone pictures at sunset isn't exactly the best.

New track piece and brand new wood!

Wood missing on the first drop.

Yes! That track looks very nice (more of a red than in the video).

They've already started installing track? This is going way too fast for a Six Flags ride! But the new Iron Horse track looks fantastic. Thanks for the update!

Nice! Thanks for the update. I will agree....the track does look like a brighter orange than what I thought it would be but hey.....I'm just happy that this make over is taking place. I can't wait to see work started on the first drop. Anyone have anymore information or updates from inside the park? Any thing else going on close to the station that they could see from RoadRunner Express??? It was pointed out earlier that the area around Wagon Wheel was fenced off......but hasn't that been for the entire season or is that new???

Thanks for the photos! Looks like we will be able to get some good angles on construction during the off season. Can't wait to ride this thing next year!

I love the orange track against the brown wood!

The best places I've found to take pictures are from La Cantera, the Crackaxle Canyon train station and from the actual train itself. I always park in front of Neiman Marcus and walk across to the grass to get good shots of the helix area. I wish there was a better place to take pictures of the lift hill/tunnel area.

^ Sweet , thanks for the update. I can't wait to ride this one next year.

Not really related to anything, but I just uploaded a new offride video of Skyscreamer today

Update photo from the SFFT Facebook page.

Well that looks promising!

I'm sure it'll be more impressive when they start working on the first drop.

The track really pops! Can't wait to see more progress.

I am really lookin forward to this coaster, though I am not sure when I will be able to make it back to Texas,

Iron Rattler looks like its going to be very awesome. I can tell you Rockey Mountain did a great job renovating New Texas Giant, and I expect this coaster to be just as good, maybe even a little better. Don't know yet thought, I cant wait to ride it!

It's really starting to look great! Even if it's a 1/4 as good as it looks, it's still better than what it used to be!

Holy cow, they're going fast! Can't wait to see more!

AWWHHHHHH! Poor helix, gonna miss you.

^You'll probably won't be the only one.......

Edit

^You'll probably WILL be the only one.......

D'aww, look at the tiny little overbanks! They're so cee-ute!

Digging on the low perpendicular to the ground sections that look like they'll be buried inside the support structure.

They really picked up the pace on this! After riding NTAG this summer, I'm tempted to go back to Texas......

Looking good! Are those apartments in the background in this photo:

If so, someone needs to go sign a lease today.
