| Food |
Johnny Rockets is the only chain in the park. Burgers, dogs and chicken can be found throughout the park. JB's Smokehouse tends to get a long line but has some of the better food in the park. Be on the lookout for Bacon Cheddar Ranch Waffle Fries. For the sweet tooth, the park is home to a Cold Stone Limited and Pink Things, a cherry-flavored ice product that has been exclusively served in the park for over 45 years!

| TPR Notes |
|
The original Six Flags park stands out as one of the best balanced parks in the chain for its thrill rides, efficiency, theming, and ride variety.
Along with typical franchise food vendors found in all Six Flags parks, SFoT still retains some of their own traditional offerings.
Many of the coasters and flat rides are family firendly with 42" height requirements, allowing families to ride together. | |
