Bruh I had to clean the subs of iron while this shit was happening and roadrunner. People were yelling at me that I suck and I should quit because I wouldn’t let them ride because of the winds.
Klara although probably as not as noteworthy as the shows at Over Texas, considering Kelly Clarkson and a few others got their start performing at SFOT.
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
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
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
Yeah, I was sad to see this video, as I've been going to Fiesta before it was even Six Flags, and never had a bad experience, though I totally understand frustration with so many closures.
Better safe than sorry though. I can see why people would be upset but can't really blame the park for trying to keep people safe (and avoiding potential millionaire lawsuits)
Other than crappy nachos, no Mexican food there. One would think that it would be a great place for Mexican food, but, Nope. Doesn't exist there. Go figure!
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!).
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...
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.
I went to fiesta texas before they opened wonder woman's lasso and iron rattler so it was already a pretty eh experience since I had ridden 3 of their rides already at six flags st. louis. sorry it was such a bitch for you lol
Isabella Genova yep, but it lost to “You’ll Be in my Heart” by Phil Collins from Tarzan. While Trey and Matt didn’t expect a win, they were surprised (and supposedly offended) when Phil won, so they made fun of him in a future South Park episode and made him hold an Oscar.
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. Edit: Forgot to mentioned, the wait is horrendously long because it is Montreal
@@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)_/¯
CoasterKing I would say it’s not a problem at all from what I can tell I went four times this year and each time there weren’t any problems like this. He just caught it on a bad day 😔
Fiesta Texas sits in a bowel because it’s an old quarry, so it can get breezy in there and there’s not much they can do about it. There is shopping centers and parking lots around the grounds
Even the "best" Six Flags parks suffer from their horrible corporate mismanagement. They just seem to take no pride in their parks. I understand why they might not shell out for giga coasters and B&M's when they could just buy equally great rides like RMC's Maxx Force, but honestly I'd rather they just spend that money to make their parks not look like shitholes plastered with advertisements everywhere.
Crazycoasterfan 123 magic mountain is the only park that you can get a guaranteed good time. That’s because it’s a number game, magic mountain has 19 coasters so even if half of the park is closed you can get 9-10 rides done. Fiesta Texas has under 10 rides and that includes the kiddy coasters. So if even a couple are down it feels like the whole park is closed.
Garret Barber great adventure is good bc toro rarely breaks the only problem is that on slower days you cant go to the back for the insane airtime, ka is always open when im there but ive heard otherwise and then theres nitro a great b&m hyper. the top 3 are usually open and then you have the clones like the b&m inverts, green lantern, superman, the sns freespin, etc
Six Flags Fiesta Texas is actually one of the best parks (maybe because it's my home park I'm a little biased) but the early spring to late fall/winter Fiesta Texas becomes a little worse than what it could be because of the wind
I've been to a dozen or so parks around the US, and I agree. I like Cedar Point a little bit more, but Fiesta is a really strong park, probably my 2nd favorite.
Been there over 200 times and ive literally never seen anything closed by wind, nor have i ever seen multiple major rides closed at once for any reason
I'm a current employee there and I apologise greatly for your experience. We are just very cautious with any risks of danger to our guests and we want to keep our park as safe as possible. Once again, I apologise for the inconveniences this has caused you. If there's anything we can do to make it up to you, let us know! Thank you and have a great day!
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.

2019 was probably the worst year for Fiesta Texas. I'm a San Antonio native and go every year. They kept stuff closed for pretty much no reason, took away the original and best fireworks display and replaced it with knockoff disney show, and charged a hell of lot more for simple stuff. One day they legitimately had only 4 rides open in the park.
My worst experience was at six flags America, a operator shoved my blind brother along with me and my friend into the car, never been so pissed In my life
I was there in June and it wasn't any better. How does a park close two of its headline coasters for a crappy flat ride install? Like Airtime, was visiting from else where in the USA. Wonder women and Superman were offline all day.
It’s not anyone’s fault. So what if airtime or some big RUclips 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. I did not know who he was and I work at this park until some of my friends showed me this video. 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.
my worst time was at six flags great adventure. I was 10 years old and the night before going my older brother bullied me into taking a large amount of laxatives. the laxatives didn't effect me well into the day. imagine riding intense roller coasters when all of the sudden you are literally about to shit your pants. I spent most of that day in the bathroom but did manage to ride a few rides. I hate my brother for this lol. im 23 now and yes I have gotten revenge.
Definitely not. SFOT is better by quite a margin. I actually prefer it’s atmosphere more and it’s consistent while SFFT in the other hand is all over the place. I’ve also just had incredible experiences at SFOT everytime

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.
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).
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.
TIM Glazner But it IS the park’s responsibility to make sure people get what they paid for, so either compensation is required, or they should try building more reliable attractions that don’t require closing during winds.
As a local I’ve never had this problem? I wouldn’t say this isn’t a problem at all just got the park on a bad day. Also that line for Poltergeist was at worst 40 min. Totally doable!!
Chromebot same but only on like spring break! I’ve been on busy days and yet the line only fills up to like the first maybe first and half rows and that’s basically 40 min to an hr max I love that it usually has the shortest line
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! :)
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.
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....
my worst park experience I've ever had was at Great Adventure (on a marching band field trip). I payed for the flash passes so instead of heading straight for kingda ka, we got them. as we walked up to ka, all our friends had just gotten off of it. spoiler alert, it closed before we got to it. we rode el toro and it was way too hot out to enjoy it, spent an hour trying to look for the lunch pavillion, rode nitro, and at that point the only ride without a 2 hour wait was harley quinn crazy train with a 45 minute wait. for real. in almost eight hours, with the flashpasses, we rode two coasters and a kiddie coaster. edit: i had an infinitely better time at six flags america lmao
Went here the exact same day. This is my home park and I was crazy disappointed with pretty much everything. Most of the time it is a pretty fun park, when everything is open of course.
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
I don't know why I like watching these videos when I am completely terrified of roller coasters. I really hate going on them and never want to again to be honest. I just kinda like watching them on RUclips for some reason.
I feel ya pain regarding the wind. I used to work at Thorpe Park, built on practically an island (poor land choice) and we had to close attractions if winds were above 13mph, which happened waaaay too often
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.
I never thought you could have an actual bad day at a Six Flags park, until today when I went to Discovery Kingdom. We didn't have flash passes so we had to wait in the lines, Joker was constantly breaking down so we never got to ride it, boomerang broke down and didn't open up until the very last second so we didn't get to ride it, the park was pretty crowded so that means the line were ridiculous, we wanted to ride the other rides like Medusa Kong (despite kong being an SLC) but the wait times were over and hour which was bad considering the park was only open from 11 - 6, and we only rode 2 RIDES, those rides being Batman and Superman. Even though it was my first time at that park I can confidently say that Discovery Kingdom is the worst Six Flags park I have ever visited!!!!!! (Although I will say the animal shows were cute and entertaining, but other than that I had a bad time at the park)
Hell yea last time i went was 2001 an ride of steel was closed, but went back the next day an got to ride an ROAR an batwimg were great back then. Wouldnt mind going back but they def need to add some new or atleazt RMC Roar
@@tinypoolmodelshipyard i was lucky in that 99 to 2005 i travel so much, some magic years lol...i feel old but im only in my 30s, even got 25 rides in one day on hypersonic xlc in 02..just come crazy stuff lol....I'm waiting for jersey devil coaster to open to be my first rmc hahah from what i hear they should rmc roar!! i plan to travel again this year!
Reminds me of several hours of the day when I was at Lake Compounce. That said it was very much offset by Boulder Dash marathons to start and end the day during the hours the school trip wasn't there, so every coaster in the park being closed for 60-70% of the day didn't really matter at the end.
This gave me flashbacks to my first and only visit to Cedar Point. Dragster ran 3 cycles the entire two days, Vengeance was closed, nothing had less than an hour wait, and I was the only one in my party that wanted to be there.
It sounds like it's been a bad year for Fiesta Texas. This last weekend, it felt like Six Flags America to me too, with the one-train ops on IR, Poltergeist, and even Superman. Big crowds too, especially on Friday night. Attendance is sky-rocketing here, and operations have been bad. Not a good recipe. I hope we see improvements in 2020.
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.
Have you ever spent a day at Elitch Gardens in Denver, CO? There are like 6 coasters total in the park and sometimes at least 3 of them are closed for seemingly no reason, your trip is most likely going to be rained out because Colorado weather is sometimes completely unpredictable, the staff is completely rude, the entire place is dirty and run down and littered with spilled food and drinks, the pavement is black everywhere making hot days worse and there are very few shaded places to cool off, waiting in line for lunch can be up to 45 minutes, the park has weird hours and on some random days in May and June will close at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is not uncommon to wait in line for a coaster for 2 hours and have it break down or close due to weather when you finally get near the front. Rides break down constantly and there are shoulder harness and other safety malfunctions that happen all the time (that are thankfully caught as they're loading guests into vehicles). About 1 or 2 years ago, I heard there was a serious issue with guest's items being stolen because that year they made you pay to use the little locker things to place loose items at the exit of the ride (they make you pay for almost EVERYTHING in fact and everything is overpriced and sometimes you can't help but wonder if Mr. Krabs is the owner of the park) so no one was using the lockers. A family even had over 3,000 worth of cell phones, credit cards, etc. stolen from them, and Elitch Gardens did absolutely nothing because they are "not responsible for any items that are lost, stolen, or damaged". Please note that I haven't been to this park since 2016, so I don't know how it is now, but please note that I still like this park because it holds memories, the coasters (when they're not closed) are pretty fun, and there are days where the park is really good and everything is going great, and little to none of the things I've said above have happened to me on those days. If you want to go, do it as soon as possible because I heard that it may be demolished sometime in the future to make room for development.
I went in August and it was terrible. I took us 20 minutes to get on Iron Rattler with flash pass premium. Wonder Woman was closed. It was over 105 degrees and there was only one water ride open. Left park early
To be fair they do warn you at the parking kiosk that due to strong winds rides will be closed. This park has proven to be a disappointment, it's always dirty and so many buildings and rides are run downed. You see significant rust, rotting wood, paint chipping on rides and buildings. My kid lean against a column in at the bumper cars and the whole things wobbled not sure how they pass inspections. I cancelled my membership due to all this crap.
I’m a native San Antonian and can say that most of the time Superman,Batman, and the poltergeist are closed. Boomerang sucks it makes me feel like I’m going to fall out and Batman gives me a headache. I understand why it’s a bad park.
last time I went to six flags, every single roller coaster, and the flat rides were either walk-on or 1-2 trains at most of a wait. Tip for six flags Dallas, go during the second week of March, it is spring break for some ISDs but not Dallas so they will have the park open but not many people will be there.
Ah yes my home park that I crap on every month I’ve been this year. I’ve vlogged probably 15 times there between March and September this year. Wonder Woman was closed half of those times, IRat was running one train 75% of those times, Superman was closed 3 or so times, and skip the line passes were never available to Diamond Elite members for Joker. People are finally starting to accept that this place isn’t all that great. #wheresourhyper
Dosware Pictures Yes there is. It’s 200 ft I believe. Pretty sad because Tower of the Americas downtown is 750 ft tall. And the park is built almost 100 feet beneath the edge of the canyon wall
Hennisphere huh. The park is probably closer to an airport but I’m not sure. At least San Antonio has a hyper-ish coaster with the aforementioned Steel Eel.
what's crazy is I visited this park from New Orleans just a few weeks ago on a Saturday and we had a pretty meh experience as well. The park opened at 2PM - Wonder Woman and Goliath were essentially walk-ons on all day, but Superman didn't open for two hours and when it finally did, the ride has not aged well IMO, it's super shaky towards the back of the train. The worst part of the day was undoubtedly playing the waiting game for Iron Rattler. It didn't open for THREE HOURS, lines were constantly forming and breaking every time we went past it. It finally opened and then we only got one ride on it because it was one train ops, so it was an hour and a half long wait to get another ride, which we didn't get because it wasn't worth it. Literally, we left this park at 7PM just feeling meh, Iron Rattler is the best ride in the park with trash maintenance.
I mean hey at least they took responsibility and closed rides when the wind was too dangerous for it.
*looking at you alton towers*
Sick burn, mate.
Dragon Fire was wind the cause of the Smiler incident?

Alton towers is a good ride
You know its bad when you've resorted to waiting for the ferris wheel

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)

It seems like literally everyone who went had a bad day at Fiesta Texas this year, not the case in previous years but this year everyone just hated it
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
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
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

Emily Caggiano same
Yeah, I was sad to see this video, as I've been going to Fiesta before it was even Six Flags, and never had a bad experience, though I totally understand frustration with so many closures.
Better safe than sorry though. I can see why people would be upset but can't really blame the park for trying to keep people safe (and avoiding potential millionaire lawsuits)
Yea same I live near fiesta Texas and it’s not bad
Yesss especially the iron rattler you have to wait like 2 hours to get on that damn thing
Craziest thing to me: nowhere in SF FIESTA Texas in SAN ANTONIO could I find Mexican food. 😳
You didn't look hard enough. Go into the hall and eat there.
jessica45915 Well, good to know there is some there at least.
I think you need glasses. The sign clearly says SIX FLAGS lol
Why would you want Mexican food from Six Flags? 🤔 It's gonna be crap! Lol
Other than crappy nachos, no Mexican food there. One would think that it would be a great place for Mexican food, but, Nope. Doesn't exist there. Go figure!
I swear fiesta texas tries to hide the entrances to Batman and Superman. My first time there it was hard to find where to go to get in line.
Thats very true. Batman is a little more hidden but Superman is also really tucked away
This was like watching someone complete a scavenger hunt for open coasters lol
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!).
A bad day at CP is the nightmare. Luckily I havent really had that yet
Airtime Thrills Oh no don’t jinx yourself that would really suck
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...
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
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.
I went to fiesta texas before they opened wonder woman's lasso and iron rattler so it was already a pretty eh experience since I had ridden 3 of their rides already at six flags st. louis.
sorry it was such a bitch for you lol

If you think it was bad going to Fiesta Texas..
Going to La Ronde is way worse.
Alejandro Garza well don’t blame the staff, don’t blame the guests, and don’t blame Six Flags.
*BLAME CANADA!! BLAME CANADA!!*
Dosware Pictures wasn’t that song cited for an Oscar or something lol
Isabella Genova yep, but it lost to “You’ll Be in my Heart” by Phil Collins from Tarzan. While Trey and Matt didn’t expect a win, they were surprised (and supposedly offended) when Phil won, so they made fun of him in a future South Park episode and made him hold an Oscar.
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.
Edit: Forgot to mentioned, the wait is horrendously long because it is Montreal
Sky Storm Cobra closed a while ago.
I feel bad. The wind is really a problem there
Yes but the real problem is that it's run by six flags..
BuckNutty How is six flags the problem here
@@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)_/¯
CoasterKing I would say it’s not a problem at all from what I can tell I went four times this year and each time there weren’t any problems like this. He just caught it on a bad day 😔
Fiesta Texas sits in a bowel because it’s an old quarry, so it can get breezy in there and there’s not much they can do about it. There is shopping centers and parking lots around the grounds
Sucks to hear that u had a bad time, I thought this park was one of the best Six Flags Parks
Even the "best" Six Flags parks suffer from their horrible corporate mismanagement. They just seem to take no pride in their parks. I understand why they might not shell out for giga coasters and B&M's when they could just buy equally great rides like RMC's Maxx Force, but honestly I'd rather they just spend that money to make their parks not look like shitholes plastered with advertisements everywhere.
@@HoliestDoughnut tru tru
HoliestDoughnut RMCs *&* Maxx Force. It’s not an RMC.
It is but idk what happens this year
@@DoswarePictures I think that's what he ment but he didn't put a comma
I feel bad for you. Fiesta Texas is my home park and it’s normally not that bad at all. I actually really think it’s one of the best I’ve been to
Airtime Thrills: Goes to Fiesta Texas
Fiesta Texas: So you have chosen breakdowns?
I thought that was one of the best six flags parks
Crazycoasterfan 123 magic mountain is the only park that you can get a guaranteed good time. That’s because it’s a number game, magic mountain has 19 coasters so even if half of the park is closed you can get 9-10 rides done. Fiesta Texas has under 10 rides and that includes the kiddy coasters. So if even a couple are down it feels like the whole park is closed.
Garret Barber no
Garret Barber mention great adventure
Garret Barber great adventure is good bc toro rarely breaks the only problem is that on slower days you cant go to the back for the insane airtime, ka is always open when im there but ive heard otherwise and then theres nitro a great b&m hyper. the top 3 are usually open and then you have the clones like the b&m inverts, green lantern, superman, the sns freespin, etc
It still is
Six Flags Fiesta Texas is actually one of the best parks (maybe because it's my home park I'm a little biased) but the early spring to late fall/winter Fiesta Texas becomes a little worse than what it could be because of the wind
Grym Reap3r Halloween/Christmas is the best time to go imo
Grym Reap3r same
Grym Reap3r I’m going in early June for the first time, hows the wind and the crowds?
I've been to a dozen or so parks around the US, and I agree. I like Cedar Point a little bit more, but Fiesta is a really strong park, probably my 2nd favorite.
okay, but isn't early spring to late fall/winter the whole year? I hate to point out the obvious but that would seem like the whole year, wouldn't it?
Been there over 200 times and ive literally never seen anything closed by wind, nor have i ever seen multiple major rides closed at once for any reason
you’ve been to Six Flags Fiesta Texas over 200 times?
This makes me so sad. I’ve been to Fiesta Texas so many times (15-20+) and I’ve never ran into any rides being closed. Bad luck :(
"Only three coasters, but hey, take it or leave it"
You have the patience of a saint.
Yeah, he does. I would have demanded a refund.
Park: The wind is too high for our coasters
Also Park: Starflyer is open
me: wtf.

I'm a current employee there and I apologise greatly for your experience. We are just very cautious with any risks of danger to our guests and we want to keep our park as safe as possible. Once again, I apologise for the inconveniences this has caused you. If there's anything we can do to make it up to you, let us know! Thank you and have a great day!
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.

@@imdoingthisforschool8417Can you say that again for me? I didn’t really understand.
2019 was probably the worst year for Fiesta Texas. I'm a San Antonio native and go every year. They kept stuff closed for pretty much no reason, took away the original and best fireworks display and replaced it with knockoff disney show, and charged a hell of lot more for simple stuff. One day they legitimately had only 4 rides open in the park.
My worst experience was at six flags America, a operator shoved my blind brother along with me and my friend into the car, never been so pissed In my life
I'd file a lawsuit honestly
Jonathon Miller Ik right, I never felt the same the whole trip, It still shocks me
Did you all want to ride, or did they just shove in everyone they saw? Either way that's not right
Melissa R. We all did want to ride, apparently he thought we were going to slow
How cool is that to have a blind brother though?
"Mom, can I have six flags..."
"We have six flags at home honey..."
Six flags at home...
I was there in June and it wasn't any better. How does a park close two of its headline coasters for a crappy flat ride install? Like Airtime, was visiting from else where in the USA. Wonder women and Superman were offline all day.
It’s not anyone’s fault. So what if airtime or some big RUclips 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. I did not know who he was and I work at this park until some of my friends showed me this video. 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.
thefreem0 I unfortunately visited when IRat wasn’t open
I hate windy days here that ruins everything you went on a bad day
Fiesta Texas had a bad run this year. America was actually pretty consistent.
Consistently good or bad? 😂😂
0MindSwept0 Let’s just say it’s more tolerable. 🤷🏾♂️
Went 4 times this year and didn’t have any problems at all!

0MindSwept0 Fiesta Texas
my worst time was at six flags great adventure. I was 10 years old and the night before going my older brother bullied me into taking a large amount of laxatives. the laxatives didn't effect me well into the day. imagine riding intense roller coasters when all of the sudden you are literally about to shit your pants. I spent most of that day in the bathroom but did manage to ride a few rides. I hate my brother for this lol. im 23 now and yes I have gotten revenge.
By far the weirdest story I have ever read in the comments
I usually have a really good time at this park...
Coaster Fusion Never been , would you say it’s better then SFOT?
Anything Coasters yes definitely
@@Lukester1234 yes
Definitely not. SFOT is better by quite a margin. I actually prefer it’s atmosphere more and it’s consistent while SFFT in the other hand is all over the place. I’ve also just had incredible experiences at SFOT everytime

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.
This is depression in video form
Bro I go all the time I promise it’s not like this 😂
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).
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.
It just seems like high winds, that high up, would twist the seats in some unnatural ways. But thats just my untrained opinion
I wonder if they were short staffed as well
Not their fault that you chose a windy day..... they can’t control the weather
TIM Glazner But it IS the park’s responsibility to make sure people get what they paid for, so either compensation is required, or they should try building more reliable attractions that don’t require closing during winds.
Exactly. If something were to happen during ride time then everyone would be with their hands up exclaiming rides should be tested more lol
As a local I’ve never had this problem? I wouldn’t say this isn’t a problem at all just got the park on a bad day. Also that line for Poltergeist was at worst 40 min. Totally doable!!
Ive never had the wind problem either. Although ive seen poltergeist going up to 3 hours
Chromebot same but only on like spring break! I’ve been on busy days and yet the line only fills up to like the first maybe first and half rows and that’s basically 40 min to an hr max I love that it usually has the shortest line

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! :)
This is why SFOT is my fav park now. Its actually consistent
the first time I rode wonder woman I didnt know it would have tons of airtime, and i felt like i was in a damn blender
"After all...it's not Six Flags America"
Thanks for making me laugh, it's been a rough day.
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.
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....
my worst park experience I've ever had was at Great Adventure (on a marching band field trip). I payed for the flash passes so instead of heading straight for kingda ka, we got them. as we walked up to ka, all our friends had just gotten off of it. spoiler alert, it closed before we got to it. we rode el toro and it was way too hot out to enjoy it, spent an hour trying to look for the lunch pavillion, rode nitro, and at that point the only ride without a 2 hour wait was harley quinn crazy train with a 45 minute wait. for real. in almost eight hours, with the flashpasses, we rode two coasters and a kiddie coaster.
edit: i had an infinitely better time at six flags america lmao
Went here the exact same day. This is my home park and I was crazy disappointed with pretty much everything. Most of the time it is a pretty fun park, when everything is open of course.
I work for sixflags over texas and im a operator at texas sky screamer like do you want to die for 3 minutes of fun ?

This comment wont age well when you leave that company I promise 😂😂😂😂
as someone who also works at over texas it ain’t worth it and I don’t feel safe on that ride I went on it opening day in 2013 and wow no thanks
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
This is why i love disneys design. They planed on pretty worst case senarios so most "rides" are open even horible weather.
I don't know why I like watching these videos when I am completely terrified of roller coasters. I really hate going on them and never want to again to be honest. I just kinda like watching them on RUclips for some reason.
You ran into more closed rides than roller coasters at my home park
Dragon Fire and what would that park be?
Also I can relate. My home Park only has 7 coasters.

I went the past two Sundays for Holiday in the Park and I was able to ride any ride I wanted without a long wait time.
I feel ya pain regarding the wind. I used to work at Thorpe Park, built on practically an island (poor land choice) and we had to close attractions if winds were above 13mph, which happened waaaay too often
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.
I never thought you could have an actual bad day at a Six Flags park, until today when I went to Discovery Kingdom. We didn't have flash passes so we had to wait in the lines, Joker was constantly breaking down so we never got to ride it, boomerang broke down and didn't open up until the very last second so we didn't get to ride it, the park was pretty crowded so that means the line were ridiculous, we wanted to ride the other rides like Medusa Kong (despite kong being an SLC) but the wait times were over and hour which was bad considering the park was only open from 11 - 6, and we only rode 2 RIDES, those rides being Batman and Superman. Even though it was my first time at that park I can confidently say that Discovery Kingdom is the worst Six Flags park I have ever visited!!!!!! (Although I will say the animal shows were cute and entertaining, but other than that I had a bad time at the park)
Sixflags America slapped in 2001, batwing was brand new and ran amazing, operations and even roar ran good...im afraid to go back now

I went, walked on everything and had a great time... I hate the coaster community trends of bashing a Park because other people do. Smh
Reminds me of several hours of the day when I was at Lake Compounce. That said it was very much offset by Boulder Dash marathons to start and end the day during the hours the school trip wasn't there, so every coaster in the park being closed for 60-70% of the day didn't really matter at the end.
Sfa is my home park, and honestly that joke made me laugh
This gave me flashbacks to my first and only visit to Cedar Point. Dragster ran 3 cycles the entire two days, Vengeance was closed, nothing had less than an hour wait, and I was the only one in my party that wanted to be there.
Does this mean SFOT is better 🤔🤔
Anything Coasters yes yes yes. I love SFOT. Everything there is always open
This is the definition of a six flags day
Fiesta Texas: One more step and you’ll have a bad time!
**megalovania intensifies**
It sounds like it's been a bad year for Fiesta Texas. This last weekend, it felt like Six Flags America to me too, with the one-train ops on IR, Poltergeist, and even Superman. Big crowds too, especially on Friday night. Attendance is sky-rocketing here, and operations have been bad. Not a good recipe. I hope we see improvements in 2020.
I've heard rumor's that San Antonio is having power problems and it's effecting Fiesta Texas
That's a lie. I live in San Antonio and there are no power problems
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.
this is the reason why I don't go to theme parks when its windy
Roller coaster: it’s gonna be fun
Wind: imma mess his whole career up😁
Have you ever spent a day at Elitch Gardens in Denver, CO? There are like 6 coasters total in the park and sometimes at least 3 of them are closed for seemingly no reason, your trip is most likely going to be rained out because Colorado weather is sometimes completely unpredictable, the staff is completely rude, the entire place is dirty and run down and littered with spilled food and drinks, the pavement is black everywhere making hot days worse and there are very few shaded places to cool off, waiting in line for lunch can be up to 45 minutes, the park has weird hours and on some random days in May and June will close at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is not uncommon to wait in line for a coaster for 2 hours and have it break down or close due to weather when you finally get near the front. Rides break down constantly and there are shoulder harness and other safety malfunctions that happen all the time (that are thankfully caught as they're loading guests into vehicles). About 1 or 2 years ago, I heard there was a serious issue with guest's items being stolen because that year they made you pay to use the little locker things to place loose items at the exit of the ride (they make you pay for almost EVERYTHING in fact and everything is overpriced and sometimes you can't help but wonder if Mr. Krabs is the owner of the park) so no one was using the lockers. A family even had over 3,000 worth of cell phones, credit cards, etc. stolen from them, and Elitch Gardens did absolutely nothing because they are "not responsible for any items that are lost, stolen, or damaged". Please note that I haven't been to this park since 2016, so I don't know how it is now, but please note that I still like this park because it holds memories, the coasters (when they're not closed) are pretty fun, and there are days where the park is really good and everything is going great, and little to none of the things I've said above have happened to me on those days. If you want to go, do it as soon as possible because I heard that it may be demolished sometime in the future to make room for development.
*Great Escape would like to say hi*

Well now I think I’ve made my decision to whether or not I want to go to SFOT or SFFT
SFFT is better but be aware what wind can do to your experience there
So basically, it wasn’t really an issue on six flags, and more on just weather conditions.

Depending on which way the wind is blowing , it tends to create a vortex in that crater and it just swirls out of control .
0:33 "Speed Limit 14"
To be fair they do warn you at the parking kiosk that due to strong winds rides will be closed. This park has proven to be a disappointment, it's always dirty and so many buildings and rides are run downed. You see significant rust, rotting wood, paint chipping on rides and buildings. My kid lean against a column in at the bumper cars and the whole things wobbled not sure how they pass inspections. I cancelled my membership due to all this crap.
I love sfft but the staff and management and all that is not good, kinda disappointing for such a good park as far as looks and rides
1:57 I'm still amazed that this ride goes this fast on turns and drops, I would definitely want to go on one of these rides eventually
I’ve never had a bad day at my home park fiesta Texas though I’ve only been there 11 times
I’m a native San Antonian and can say that most of the time Superman,Batman, and the poltergeist are closed. Boomerang sucks it makes me feel like I’m going to fall out and Batman gives me a headache. I understand why it’s a bad park.
I've gone 5 times since June and havent had any issues like this. You went on the wrong day my guy.. sucks
last time I went to six flags, every single roller coaster, and the flat rides were either walk-on or 1-2 trains at most of a wait. Tip for six flags Dallas, go during the second week of March, it is spring break for some ISDs but not Dallas so they will have the park open but not many people will be there.
Ah yes my home park that I crap on every month I’ve been this year. I’ve vlogged probably 15 times there between March and September this year. Wonder Woman was closed half of those times, IRat was running one train 75% of those times, Superman was closed 3 or so times, and skip the line passes were never available to Diamond Elite members for Joker. People are finally starting to accept that this place isn’t all that great. #wheresourhyper
Hennisphere is there a height limit? Because Steel Eel is 150’.
Dosware Pictures Yes there is. It’s 200 ft I believe. Pretty sad because Tower of the Americas downtown is 750 ft tall. And the park is built almost 100 feet beneath the edge of the canyon wall
Hennisphere huh. The park is probably closer to an airport but I’m not sure. At least San Antonio has a hyper-ish coaster with the aforementioned Steel Eel.
I commend you for purposely putting yourself in a headache just to show us the insanity lol
A windy holiday is like a guaranteed fuckening.
That intro killed me 😂😂😂 but anyways great vid! Sad that so many rides were closed and the crowds were so bad though ☹️.
what's crazy is I visited this park from New Orleans just a few weeks ago on a Saturday and we had a pretty meh experience as well. The park opened at 2PM - Wonder Woman and Goliath were essentially walk-ons on all day, but Superman didn't open for two hours and when it finally did, the ride has not aged well IMO, it's super shaky towards the back of the train.
The worst part of the day was undoubtedly playing the waiting game for Iron Rattler. It didn't open for THREE HOURS, lines were constantly forming and breaking every time we went past it. It finally opened and then we only got one ride on it because it was one train ops, so it was an hour and a half long wait to get another ride, which we didn't get because it wasn't worth it. Literally, we left this park at 7PM just feeling meh, Iron Rattler is the best ride in the park with trash maintenance.
