Happy 45th Anniversary to Shock Wave at Six Flags Over Texas

[@chaytonbigs9097]

Great ride for people trying to get over their fears

[@Sages_life]

Super underrated coaster! Happy birthday shockwave!

Super underrated

May she live to see 50 and beyond! Truly one of my favorite coasters I've ever been on, and how I first learned to love them way back at age 4.

[@Horizon2509]

I remember riding this once before a competition during my middle school years. It was pretty fun!

[@Russell1971]

LONG LIVE the Shock Wave! She's by FAR still the absolute BEST of ALL the steel-track looping roller coasters ever operated at Six Flags Over Texas, due to her 5.9 G-force level! I wish the park would paint her in a different color scheme, though, such as metallic navy blue for the tracks and dark metallic gray for the struts that hold her aloft. The trains could remain white, but do a 2-tone layout (white/light-gray) with a dark blue pinstripe down the sides on train 1, with a dark gray pinstripe on train 2. Another color scheme that would look nice on Shock Wave is dark forest green for the tracks and glittery gold for the struts, with each train's paint corresponding with the ride's color layout in a similar fashion (white/light-gray, with a green pinstripe on train 1 and a glitter-gold pinstripe on train 2).

I bet Anton Schwarzkopf is smiling somewhere up there.

Two of the most intense loops *anywhere* in the world! If they ever replace or update Shockwave, I hope the successor retains the potent combination of speed and inversions that made this such a daunting ride for so many decades!

Happy 45th ShockWave! Really enjoyed your video!

[@G_Dawg_OFFICIAL]

The mid-course that squeaks hell😅, love this ride

[@yakobshoe1820]

Glad to see that sfot is active on yt again

[@andrewphilpott3220]

The back is the best. I recommend bracing yourself for the brakes at the end. I do and I've never hit my knees. It's a strong brake. Those loops knock you out and then the rest of the hills get pops of airtime. Awesome ride.

[@billy_yt3286]

Glad its back i love that ride!

[@JDubya96]

This brings back lots of fond memories of waiting in line for hours to ride the Shockwave in the hot Texas heat! Good times!

[@birdyrenee]

I’m almost 40 and I remember being able to ride this at 8 years old. I was there yesterday with my son, and I was telling him that at one point, this ride had a VR and as I was telling it, it felt like a fever dream because I rode it once with the VR and never saw it again. Had to google it to make sure I wasn’t making things up. 😂

[@eastexas]

Happy 45th late anniversary to my fav roller coaster One time i ridden this like 3 times lol

[@ladennayoung2939]

I remember that ride being there when I was a child. I was probably about 8 years old when I first came across it. I ended up riding it when I was 16 or 17 years old. And it sounded pretty old like it could fall apart completely at any minute. It was my first and last time ever riding it. It is about to be 46 years old this month. It was built the same year that I was born.

[@freinds323]

45 years and not yet retired! Scary!

[@chrisofchris]

Such an important piece of coaster history

[@dyoel182]

Seats are a bit tight but it's worth it for the fun ride without too much wait.

[@shaemoore]

Shockwave is my favorite ride

[@NicholasNormand]

Never been on shockwave before

[@dumb1296]

Ever since I went to six flags I feel motion sickness in vr before I never had a problem with it until now

[@KG-lb7fu]

If this ride had a DC character attached to it it would be way more popular

[@CreamCookieX]

happy anniversary ❤

[@Monorail-Beyond-the-Veil]

My first loop coaster. It was much better when it was brand new, and the track was white.

[@jtill683]

the first coaster i ever rode

[@KayKaysWorld-ox9zh]

I rode this a few days ago!

[@Stringy648]

Underrated

[@scopeless22]

May not look intense, but those are circular loops and not tear drop shaped and they provide a good kick.

[@Bert439]

Best Coaster ever fight me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nirvan1271]

Airtime machine

[@candistaylor623]

The best ever, nothing a good classic.

[@SonikkuTD]

My dad lost his camera on this ride

[@Guitarinprogress-g5h]
