Arlington’s Six Flags Over Texas has long (make that 45 years!) been a family favorite in the Lone Star State. This season, the park is celebrating with 10 new rides.
• Blackbird – Spread your wings and fly high in the sky as nine planes zip around an oval-shaped course. Each plane can accommodate up to four children or one adult and two children.
• La Fiesta de las Tazas – Spin around super fast or slow it down to savor the experience.
• Rock-N-Rocket – Zip into orbit as the rocket and its 50 passengers make several exhilarating 360-degree loops before swinging back earthward for a gentle stop.
• Rodeo – True Texans love a good rodeo. Cowboys and cowgirls alike can test their riding skills on these bucking bulls. Saddle up!
• Crazy Legs – Whirling, twirling fun for the whole family. This “crazy” ride moves in a circular fashion with gondolas that move in the opposite direction.
• Caddo Lake Barge – A high capacity family attraction, the Caddo Lake Barge features a unique combination of rocking motions and has received top awards from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.
• Sidewinder – A ride commonly referred to as the “scrambler” received its original name from the way it looks while in operation, resembling scrambling eggs.
• Up, Up & Away – Experience a breathtaking view of the park while riding on unique hot air balloons. Up, up and away we go!
• Boot Scootin’ – These boots are made for walkin’ or in this case…ridin’! Try these on for size in a one-of-a-kind interactive bouncing ride experience.
• Interactive Spray Ground – This sounds like our speed: water fun (perfect for cooling off on those hot Texas summer days).
