The park has a solid collection of coasters highlighted by the unique Iron Rattler. There's also Superman: Krypton Coaster, a B&M floorless that scales the quarry walls. Batman: The Ride, the first S&S Free Spin 4D coaster. Wonder Woman's Lasso, the first RMC single rail coaster. Goliath is a B&M invert that stands out at the front of the park. Poltergeist is a launched Premier coaster into a spaghetti bowl element. Two good family coasters are Big Spin (a fun spinning coaster) and Roadrunner Express, one of the best mine trains.
The park has a good selection of flat rides led by Bugs White Water Rapids, The Frisbee and Wagon Wheel.
Be sure to take a trip on the park's train for some great views from underneath Superman: Krypton Coaster and Iron Rattler. |

| TPR Notes |
|
Six Flags Fiesta Texas is the most picturesque park in the Six Flags chain. The park is built in a former rock quarry, which creates a backdrop for the park and allows for some unique interaction between rides.
The park retains its charm from the pre-Six Flags days, although the friendly persona of San Antonians probably helps in this regard.
Just because the park is retaining its charm doesn't mean the it isn't keeping up with the times. | |
