Six Flags Over Texas 1973

[@dsgregg]

Those were the days when the park had a magical quality that will seemingly never be repeated anywhere.

It has much better theming back then for sure.

wow, these 7 minutes and 19 seconds perfectly capture my childhood visits to SFOT. so great to see the Big Bend and Fiesta Train!

[@trumpsmessage7777]

The log rides. The Cave ride. The sky lift. The Lasalle Riverboat ride. The Mine train. Skull Island. Fiesta Train and Volcano. On and on. Such great days.

Great film. This is how I remember Six Flags 50 years ago.

I wish they could bring this park back. There's nothing for me there any more; except that they have brought back the Casa Magnetica. Bring back the Cave too and I'll come back!

[@SlushysSecret]

They got a new ceo for six flags over Texas and there planning on restoring the park back to this

[@asphaltandtacos]

Big Bend needs to return.

[@SlushysSecret]

They are bringing cave BACK!

Now this is the Six Flags I had the luxury to grow up with, before the park went from a theme park to a Corporate Park

[@heroknaderi]

The good old days 👍

The Native American costume character was from Sid & Marty Krofft's Lidsville, I think.

[@themeparkreconnoiter9787]

That's correct, his name is "Big Chief Sitting Duck" He is a feathered Indian chief hat covered by a thick Indian blanket. Honestly, I knew SFOG can't be the only one of the 3 original Six Flags parks to have the Lidsville characters, no matter if the opening was shot at SFOT because thanks to this user for uploading this video, we now have proof. Most of the photos on Flicker or on Google Images were all taken at Six Flags Over Georgia. Well I'm sure the other 2 including St. Louis has them as well. They just weren't released to the public yet.

What happened to six flags sky ride? Did they take it down because the state fair of Texas sky ride had fallen? Or they just made room for another ride???

[@themeparkreconnoiter9787]

If Vekoma brings back Arrow style suspended trains, Coney Island could take this inspiration for their suspended coaster theming it after a runaway NYC moneral. But there could be other theme parks that might want to do that.

[@bullwinkle2380]

How come they don't operate both log flumes??????????

[@brightblack1039]

I know. They always run Flume 2 for some reason. They need to fix their management. I heard that it is staffing issues and they need to hire more staff.

Back when Six Flags was Six Flags. Now it's a run down dump.
