The Worst Day I've Ever Spent at a Park - Six Flags Fiesta Texas

This past April, I spent a pretty awful and frustrating day at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. This is my story.

[@samplautz5586]

You know its bad when you've resorted to waiting for the ferris wheel

[@CoasterRoaster]

I mean, Ferris wheels are fun rides so it's not that bad.

[@exoticcats6119]

I don’t hear a lot of stories of people dying because of Ferris wheels or the people operating it (but then again I didn’t know about a few of the incidents talked about on the channel)

I did too. Only 3 coasters done... -.-

Max Theme Parks maybe it’s because everyone had high expectations. Maybe I should lower my expectations to hopefully have a better experience if I do go

[@justinthomas5270]

Max Theme Parks I went the first week of November, and I absolutely loved it! Got all the credits, and even got a credit I wasn’t expecting to get! (Boomerang was listed as closed on their website but ended up being open). It’s by far my favorite six flags park, and is in my top 5 parks overall

[@andrewsavoy1881]

i had a good time but some of the coasters were closed so not as many credits but many of the good ones were open

[@Dagobahchick]

My family took a big trip to Cedar Point this summer, but I couldn't go because I had to work. It was my 10 year old brother's first trip to the park and he is a huge roller coaster fan and was so so excited. They got to the park, rope-dropped Steel Vengeance, but still had to wait in a two hour line. They were standing on the loading station, next in line for it, when a thunderstorm popped up and they had to close the ride. They waited an hour on the loading station, and then the ride operators kicked everyone out of line, so they lost their spot. Everything was closed and there were power surges, so nothing opened in the whole park until 5 pm that day. Steel Vengeance never reopened, Dragster never reopened. They managed to ride Millenium Force and a couple of flat rides but didn't get any other big credits the entire day. It was such a bad day that when my dad went to customer service, they gave him free tickets and free parking for a return trip. I was able to go for the return trip, and it was on a crazy busy Saturday during Halloweekends (we never go to parks on weekends but it was the only time we could fit the 8 hour round trip in). When we went to exchange our vouchers for the tickets, they also gave us free fast passes. The park was near capacity, but we managed to ride everything two or three times on a gorgeous fall day. In the end, it was completely worth it (especially for me who didn't have to deal with the first trip!).

[@AirtimeThrills]

A bad day at CP is the nightmare. Luckily I havent really had that yet

[@blueboy3492]

Airtime Thrills Oh no don’t jinx yourself that would really suck

[@steveo7771286]

Airtime Thrills Trust me, you DO NOT want to. Halloweekends this year was beyond terrible. Packed to the brim, half of the rides were down off and on because of weather. When you spend $170 on fast lane plus, you generally expect to get on more than 9 rides, but that’s what I got on one Saturday. When there’s a 45 minute wait for rougarou with fast lane, yeah...

[@jonnymaglite666]

I avoid that park like a plague on fridays and saturdays and even sun-thurs I always get a fast pass plus otherwise you're pretty much screwed

[@steveo7771286]

jonathan manning Anymore, it seems to be that way. It used to be that the most popular rides had an hour or two wait then you had rides like magnum that were walk on, not now though. I mean, I’m happy for the revenue boost but it’s gonna backfire when nobody wants to go anymore in fear of insane crowds.

[@emilycaggiano8910]

This is my home park and it's not normally like this. Usually every ride is open and lines are only this long in the summer or holidays. Just had some bad luck I guess

[@skaterdude1402]

[@MatsuGrimlyak]

La Ronde is a nice six flag park to be honest, I live far from Montreal but I can say that La Ronde is alright if you have school activities, but for christ sake it is expensive, The Goliath is very nice, The Monster is a very nice wooden coaster, the Vampire is alright, the Cobra is my favorite, the Ednor I still haven't ride it, the Boomerang (I think it is called like that) is rough but has nice loops, I don't remember the others but it is honestly very nice, most of them were open and I still enjoyed my times I go there, so depending on a theme to the other, blame the ride's quality if they have too many issue to be fixed.

I personally completely understand. I went yesterday and all the rides were closed in the morning due to the first cold front of the season. Towards the end of the day they opened the Superman due to pressure from guests. The tests went fine and I was on the second ride. The group right behind me got stuck on the tracks and they had to close it immediately again. You guys were quick to act on getting everyone down safely and everyone stuck was off the ride on the ground again within twenty to thirty minutes. Good job. I had a great time. It was my first time on a roller coaster and I loved it.

BuckNutty How is six flags the problem here

[@Mike_zxc]

​@@gogy4 AGREED like maybe six flags could plant some trees to break up the wind or something.. but the max wind speed for a ride is set by the manufacture, not the park. most rides will actually worn the ride ops that a gust has been read over the maxim safe speed and cannot be safely operated. no park WANTS a ride to go down. and further more (at least with the park I work for BGT) if one ride measures a gust over the thresh hold of another ride then that other ride must shut down, even if its on the opposite side of the park. so for example if Sheikra gets a reading of 42mph but Montu is only reading 20mph then Montu will still shut down for weather. all "class 1 rides" at BGT shut down at 40mph so everthing besides the carousel and the train. i didn't mean to type so much but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@2500spartan]

2019 was probably the worst year for Fiesta Texas. I'm a San Antonio native and go every year.

One day they legitimately had only 4 rides open in the park.

Exactly. If something were to happen during ride time then everyone would be with their hands up exclaiming rides should be tested more lol

[@superpanda4313]

At six flags over Texas, the whole day rides would randomly “shut down” and people would get off, but we met this kid that was by himself at the park and he said that his brother worked there, and they occasionally shut down rides if the line is piling up, and then re open it once enough people leave. It’s actually true, we were on multiple rides when they shut it down, they literally just stood around talking, and then grabbed the speaker and started it again. Stay in your line, the ride doesn’t break down 5 times in one day and continue to work perfectly.

[@_milyonaire_5605]

It’s not anyone’s fault. So what if airtime or some big KZbin person went. People are working and it will go on like any other day. He’s not special and does not need that kind of treatment.

Wonder Woman was off that day because it was getting repairs for its single coaster rails and Superman was down for the dangerous winds. I guess y’all wanna die than care about chur own safety.

This happened to me as well. I went to six flags fiesta Texas, aware of how much they are hated due to constant ride breakdowns and whatnot. Day started off normal, I rode almost every ride before it started going down hill. First, Batman broke on me TWICE, then poltergeist broke down, the new Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger broke down on me, and then Goliath broke down. When I was waiting in line for Goliath to open back up, hoping that I wouldn’t have to leave with boomerang as my last ride, they told me rather rudely “You need to leave right now” like I just committed a crime at the park. There is something totally wrong with the maintenance here, I have never experienced so many breakdowns in one day, even at universal studios. And the weather was perfectly fine that day. It was just cloudy no rain at all.

[@SASSpicy]

So basically, it wasn’t really an issue on six flags, and more on just weather conditions.

One day I worked at Phantasialand, it was one of the hottest days all year and I was standing in front of a closed Talocan from 11:30 to about 17:00 (mostly in 2 hour chunks, with half hour breaks and 1 hour lunch in-between). Main thing I did that day: Telling people that Talocan is closed. At one point someone told me that 4 other main attractions, including Taron and Chiapas, were all down as well and River Quest had between 90-120 minute wait all day. Mamba was also down for half an hour in the afternoon (friend of mine worked there that day and came to talk to me every time he had a break, since I was just standing there all day).

[@BlissfulDiamondblaze]

That is my home park. As soon as you said all the kids would be out of school that should have been a clue about the lines. I could hear how bad the wind was from the recording so I'm not surprised everything is closed. The biggest sins you can do when visiting fiesta texas is going on a busy day, going on a bad weather day to include heat/wind/rain, and not commiting to a line. If you line hop all day hoping for the lines to get shorter, you will be disappointed and end up wasting more time than if you had just waited in a line.

[@AmusementLabs]

Star flyers can operate in pretty high winds. SFNE is able to run their 400+ ft star flyer in high winds cause it's all powered and the only thing the wind does is cause the seats to spin a little.

[@AirtimeThrills]

It just seems like high winds, that high up, would twist the seats in some unnatural ways. But thats just my untrained opinion

[@okumuracosplay8316]

I work here and roadrunner was down because I had to call a condition B. Get everyone off and have them fix it because it was having trouble leaving the station because of the wind. Iron rattler was closed because of the wind. Ultimately this was a terrible time for six flags fiesta texas. As a ride operatior in crack axle canon, it was not under our control. The weather this year was a real pain, leaving lots of angry people getting after us for not letting them ride something for their own safety. This is a fact and I am a operator in crack axle canyon. If we ran rattler, it would have condition A. (Riders get stuck) on the lift due to the structure being unstable. Y’all just wanna die, don’t y’all.

[@beastbro5666]

[@jimmycrackkorn1596]

Fiesta Texas is one of six flag's "lesser" parks that continues to get passed up by six flags corporate for major rollercoasters and other attractions that get built at other parks. The only great ride we have is the iron rattler, everything else here kinda sucks.

That intro killed me 😂😂😂 but anyways great vid! Sad that so many rides were closed and the crowds were so bad though ☹️.

[@grantrussell366]

Me and a friend went to Six Flags Great America this past summer. The temperature was 95+ (over 100 with humidity) and the park was dead. We got about 2 to 3 rides on every coaster. We got there at 10am and left at 4:30 (our plan was to stay til 8pm but since we rode every ride that we wanted to enough times we got bored). So, just a tip, if it’s over 100 outside go to an amusement park because it will be dead. That was my first time to a six flags ever. My friend, who had been there a handful of times, said it was the least busy he had ever seen it.

[@cojack424]

Grant Russell that’s not true at all, at least not for Six Flags Over Georgia....During the summer, it’s always 90+ degrees outside, and the park stays packed, everyday, every hour, every minute, and every second....I’ve noticed if there is a threat for rain in the forecast, or if it’s raining, the park is empty, but most rides close down during the rain.....if you are lucky and it stops raining while you are at the park, the rides re-open shortly after the rain....that is the best time to have the whole park to yourself....

[@kaylarose2383]

the worst feeling is going to a six flags and all the rides are closed for the silliest reasons! you trying to be happy tho which is literally adorable

I've heard rumor's that San Antonio is having power problems and it's effecting Fiesta Texas

[@alexandraswallick7855]

That's a lie. I live in San Antonio and there are no power problems

[@okumuracosplay8316]

In la cantera and the rim, the power grid is shit man. I’ve worked here for two seasons and the power shuts down 3-4 times a year here in this section of San Antonio. Everything faults out and I freak out. I remember gully washer draining randomly because of a power outage.

[@puppetuppers4806]

I went here first time it was amazing. Second time was slow operations, none of the rides were open and the ones that were open I didn’t want to go on.

[@izzdrizz3535]

Hi, Texan here! I recommend going to Six Flags in the winter! I know it sounds bad due to the cold, but the cold is actually your friend in this case! Trips to the park during January-March are usually very good as the park is almost fully empty (due to families not wanting to go out in the cold), and wait times go down to 5-10 minutes! (Sometimes even less if you get there when it opens!) Closures are also suprisingly rare during those times! (It stared light raining on my trip but they kept the rides open and safe, so I still got to have fun, albeit a little wet!) I went yesterday (Jan 4th) and was able to ride six coasters (Goliath, Dr. Diobolical, Superman, Batman, Joker, Iron Rattler, Road Runner), almost all of them extreme and/or very popular! (Not including the fact that I rode 3 of those six twice in the same trip, so 9 rides in 4 hours total!) Trips to Six Flags can suck at times (especially during the summer, daammnnn you Dallas...), but if you know when to go, you'll end up having the time of your life there! :)

[@kayleeleanne8364]

If winds are over 15mph they can’t run certain rides. You’d think the swing rides would be closed but they aren’t and it’s terrifying to be on those swings! Some roller coaster aren’t made to handle winds and the trains can’t make it up the hills or could completely derail completely due too strong winds

Well now I think I’ve made my decision to whether or not I want to go to SFOT or SFFT

[@AirtimeThrills]

SFFT is better but be aware what wind can do to your experience there

[@seanjauregui7695]

Honestly, I can strongly agree with this. This year was absolute garbage with almost every ride unexpectedly closing, or just some weird malfunctions. Hopefully next year in 2020 will be better. (I went today; opening to closing time, and it was pretty fun. Not as many rides were closed fortunately)

[@mrodriguez4829]

I was told many years ago by a ride maintenance man that the coasters at SFFT have wind anemometers installed on them and whenever the wind speed exceeds a certain threshold the ride will stop.

[@catchilupi]

I had a worse experience there. 10 hours, 6 hours in lines, rode 2 rides, 2 broke down, then the park shut down for storms for 4 hours. They were only running 1 train on most coasters. Park staff don’t care. I even had to wait 30 minutes to get a drink, they were out of soda and ice. No pizza. Worst amusement park experience in my life.

Let me tell you, as my hometown is a mere 5 minutes away, and with FT being my Home park, when it gets windy here it gets WINDY. If you had a bad experience at the park because of wind, first, don’t compare it to SFA because of a natural occurrence that can be a real problem when you’re in the middle of a quarry, and second you should wait for the summer. Of course, the worst part about that is the heat. If you can take it, I suggest you should come back down and get the experience you deserve from Fiesta Texas. Besides, we’ve got an amazing Waterpark.
