Six Flags Fiesta Texas
Located in San Antonio, Texas, Six Flags Fiesta Texas is a unique, cliffside theme park that offers an incredible mix of roller coasters, live entertainment, water park thrills, and scenic views. Set in a former limestone quarry, the park’s dramatic layout and immersive theming make it one of the most visually striking Six Flags parks in the country.
History & Background
The park opened in 1992 as a show-focused entertainment destination themed around Texas regions and culture. It was acquired by Six Flags in 1996, which brought in world-class coasters, Looney Tunes branding, and DC Comics superheroes. The quarry setting became a standout feature, especially for rides like Iron Rattler and Superman: Krypton Coaster, which use the cliffs as part of the layout.
