- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2022
- The original Six Flags park opened its gates in 1961, and has grown extensively in size! They're home to 13 roller coasters, and a variety of thrill and family rides. I've had the opportunity to make several visits here since my first time in 2014, and have seen how much this park has changed over the years- for the better!

It’s my home park and I honestly wish it just had one more standout unique coaster. The park has improved a lot in the recent years
Something like a Mack or Intamin multi-launch would fit nicely.
Bro I swear I remember you from some where. I think we were friends on Facebook some years ago! I make beats. Also I agree we need a standout
looks like it sure has, hope you have fun when you go this season!
@@tra4156 I ALSO REMEMBER THEM FOR SOME REASON LMAO
@@PigsRMyFrens1 haha we all need to link up & ride some coasters at SFOT. I’m currently at SFMM right now
While everyone would like a new standout elite coaster for Over Texas, I think the main thing it needs in order to be great is more consistent quality of atmosphere. Some areas at the park really look fantastic and the Tex-Mex theming can be really charming and fun. But some areas definitely suffer from being blank slabs of black top with ugly steel structures plopped on them. Fiesta Texas is the better park but whether or not you prefer the coaster collection is more a matter of personal preference. But Fiesta Texas is just such a nice park overall with the best atmosphere in the chain (sometimes borderline theme park atmosphere.) Over Texas has some of that charm but it's just inconsistent. I'd love to see them invest more in park appearance, landscaping and restaurants and then add some new signature thrill machine once the overall park experience is improved.
I’m not sure if parents of special needs children know this so I am going to share. We went on 5/9/22 with our 9 year old autistic son who is also nonverbal. We went a few years ago but had to leave after 15 minutes because he gets upset in lines and in crowds. This year we filled out a request for an IBCCES pass (you have to have a doctor apply with you). My little boy had the time of life and it brought me to tears all day, on Mother’s Day as it was. We walked to the exit of every ride he wanted to go on and got right on each ride with no wait. Even got to pass the flash pass riders. I am so glad they participate in this program and my son got to share an experience that so many kids gets to.
That's awesome to hear and to know about!
I gotta stand up for my pet coaster, Judge Roy Scream. I know it's old and not that big of a coaster, but when I was a kid it was my favorite because it had 2 or 3 good drops (which is my favorite part of a roller coaster, love the weightless feeling while falling), the line was always really manageable, and it didn't beat you up like the old version of the Texas Giant did. Just a solid little coaster I could always count on.
I gotta say the first time I rode the mine train was at night in the back row, and I didn’t know there was a decent drop right at the end. The ejector airtime combined with the thin lap bar was insane.
I think this park has the best positive G collection. A lot of forcefull coasters. I think that's a fantastic thing. That's what makes this one of my favorite six flags parks.
Yup, Titan, Mr. Freeze,Shock Wave, Batman, heck even their family coaster Pandemonium pulls some pretty strong positive g’s during the helixes.
CONGRATS ON 200,000 SUBS! Well deserved man! Also, great video as always!
Congrats on 200k legend 🐐 TY for carrying my childhood 🙏🤞🤞
I went a couple years ago and thought it was kinda “meh.” Not a bad park, but I didn’t think the coaster roster merited a stand-alone trip from far away. I think they need just one truly incredible coaster to set it apart, but for what they do have, it was still fun. I just won’t make it a point to go back unless I move closer or they get that one thing that sets them apart
I went in Dec 2020 and did both SFOT and Fiesta. I liked Fiesta better but did enjoy this park. I liked it's unique coasters like Shockwave, New Texas Giant, Titan, the Bobsled, Runaway Mountain etc. All different.
Went a few years ago when I visited my sister for the first time. Loved it! Such a good park!
Great video to uploaded on my birthday today. Absolutely love this park; I went here during my Wrestlemania vacation and I gotta say I got a lot done in 5 hours before heading to the Dallas Cowboys football stadium for the Sunday night of Wrestlemania including 3 rides on New Texas Giant.
What a cool park and review. LOVE THIS CHANNEL
This was my home park growing up and I agree with everything said. The justice league ride used to be a 4-D theatre with the moving seats. I remember the SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D show because it scared me to death as a kid and the refurbishment to the justice league shooting ride was a wonderful addition
Before the SpongeBob one they had a dinosaur one and also some sort of jet one as well.
Since my 1st visit in 2006 until 2016, I enjoy visit there. I rode any roller coasters. I miss them.
I miss the rocket & flash back & the air balloon ride the one they replaces with the sky screamer.
This is my home park,over the last summer everything had been updated and painted, like everything. The park is looking great, I want an RMC RAPTOR!
I was searching for a review of SFOTX, something short and to the point and this popped up thank goodness. I need it to send to enthusiast friends in Brazil who will be visiting me this summer. We have plans to do Cedar Point (again🥰🥰🥰) and also visiting friends in Allen, TX near Dallas. I've been to Dallas several times but never to SFOTX. Hopefully after seeing this video, my friends will want to go there. 👍👍👍
my home park, grew up going here every week, all types of weather, even being turned away at the gate bc of inclement weather. it was a ritual to go every Sunday afternoon. i miss it. hard to get everyone together now that we're older with different schedules and obligations.
got over my fear of roller coasters here, got lost here and sat at the funnel stand by the entrance for a while until my parents remembered that that was supposed to be our meet up point. my father was on the superman power of town while the new years fire works were going off. they stopped the ride up there if I remembered correctly so he got a great view. i went through the tilted house over and really enjoy the oil derrick as well.
This is my new home park as of this year. I will miss my 3 favorite rides of Tatsu, X2, and Twisted Colossus from my former home park, Magic Mountain! I would love for SFOT to have a flying coaster and a West Coast Racers type roller coasters. I think they would make this park great!
El Sombrero is a very underrated kid rid. You get really good airtime and slippage in the seats. Remined me of sandlot
Thanks for this review! I haven't been to SFOT since I was in high school many decades ago, so I won't even recognize the place. Planning on heading there with my family this summer to this overview was helpful.
I really liked this park. I only visited one time, but man shockwave really exceeded my expectations, it’s in my top 10
Congrats on 200K, CS!
I came here in 2016 and it was awesome. Interestingly the main reason why I chose to come here was because I feared Yosemite Sam's Gold River Adventure was in danger of closing and wanted to try it before it possibly goes away (which it did).
My home park! Agreed with everything said in the video. Also agree with the comments in that we need a more standout coaster. I think a Raptor would do great here.
my home park is great and I know is one of the best original parks and I like your review Taylor 👍🏻
Blacktop is also a criticism I have of SeaWorld San Antonio. I think it’s the only SeaWorld/Busch park that has it. They’ve been trying to fix that little by little over the years, particularly in areas where new attractions in the park are opening.
Six Flags Over Texas is the Goat. First off i absolutely love Houston as a city. Titan is easily a top 3 B&M hyper for me and Mr. Freeze has one of the best launches you will find on any Intamin. Love love love this park.
Look up the history on Titan and Goliath. B&M actually had little to do with those rides. They were actually subcontracted by intamin. There's a ton of weird history behind that company.
I agree that it is a good park, but mr. freeze is a premier rides launch coaster, not an intamin
Congrats on 200K subs, Taylor!
I'm working in fort worth this summer and flying my daughter out for a week in June. We can't wait to go here! I'm from Utah so this will blow Lagoon out of the water.
Congrats on 200k bro!!!!
just realized that you hit 200k! congrats!
I go here every few months because I live about an hour away from it. I love the Conquistador, El Sombrero, Harley Quinn ride, and the Roaring Rapids. I ride these basically everytime I go there except the roaring rapids because it's usually closed when I go and the last time I went was my first time riding it in like a year lol
Six Flags started rolling out the Pink Thing to other parks. It's now offered at Frontier City.
You should do an updated version of a review for six flags great America
Congrats on 200k subs!
CONGRATULATIONS ON 200K
Before watching or reading the comments, I just went to SFOT yesterday and had a balst. I enjoyed all rides (except the super loop, for I don't like them) and I'm so happy it's only 30 minutes from my home.
Congrats on 200k!!!
Congrats on 200k
I never been here but I flew over it as well as the stadiums in 2015 as we had a layover in Dallas Fort Worth on the way coming back from Las Vegas and we were there for about 2 hours and the only time I got to see the park was flying in to that airport from Vegas.
Just moved from Ohio where I lived 30 mins from Kings Island. To me it’ll always be the best park but I’m looking forward to trying this new one.
Fiesta Texas has been my home park most my life and I can say apart from how it’s layout is literally terribly confusing, I just liked how large most of the coasters were even if most were duds in terms of inertia I love inertia haha. But I haven’t been to fiesta Texas since power surges last day of operation before Wonder Woman took its place. Over Texas also had two historical steam locomotives if your a railroad guy
last time i went we went on 3 rides, it started sprinkling for 5 minutes, all the rides were closed for about 3 hours and they finally shut down the park. i’m going tomorrow, and i’m excited to actually go on some more rides
I want to say congratulations on 2k subs, iv been watching this channel for about 3 years and all your content in amazing. this is such a huge milestone, are you going to do a 2nd silver play button unboxing video?
Thank you! But you don’t receive a second play button at 200k, the next milestone is at 1 million
The bathrooms sometimes are worse then a construction site porta potty, wish they would clean them more often
I just got back from going here and this popped up on my recommended
I love Six Flags Over Texas! There is definitely room for improvement like you said, but its a great park.
The TroubleMaker theme park!!! I want to ride the juggler!
Man I remember watching you in elementary school back in 2014 when you had like 600 subs now your at 200k that’s crazy
I don't know how recent you visit, but I do work there at Six Flags Over Texas. I can definitely agree that the crowds get insane. I'm only a recent worker, so I haven't seen a whole lot yet, but I can't wait to see more. ^^,
The 2 intamin bobsleds in the US are the last 2 operating ones in existence as well.
My Dad lives in Texas and when we drive by the Cowboys stadium, and I always think, "I wonder if Coaster Studios will ever make a video on Six Flags!" 😀😋
I had Ma Hunkle’s just yesterday right before the Batman assuming the line would belong for my stomach to settle… we literally walked right up to the ride and got sick right after it
I would definitely love to ride new Texas Giant. I've only been on one RMC, Wicked Cyclone at Six Flags New England, which is my home park.
This was going to be my first Six Flags park a couple years ago. I was visiting family and was planning to go to it one of the days, but due to weather, the call was made to not go. I was crying cause I wanted to go so bad. Now this coming June my first Six Flags park will be Six Flags St. Louis. Hopefully it will go according to plan.
Ha! I love blacktop! I love the smell in the heat and when I’m not at a park and get a whiff of blacktop in a parking lot or street-it reminds me of Six Flags over Texas! 😃
Might be going this summer, I really want visit fiesta Texas too though
I really want to know when titan is reopening so you know when it is reopening?
This is my home park and I used to want to be a roller coaster engineer and create roller coasters for this place, but I have started to peruse a different dream.
JB's is a hit or miss at Six Flags parks, but this one is my favorite in the chain. I've been twice and would put this as a mid-tier Six Flags park. Really itching to do a Texas trip again soon
Man. You talked about all the food But the PANDA EXPRESS 😂 I always thought it was funny to see panda Express there
Love this park
If Titan had been a b and m hyper, totally different roster. The park needs one more major attraction but unclear on what that ride type really is to round out the roster. I agree about the park being hard to navigate. I went there one time in 2014 as well and it was a maze.
I 100% agree that Gotham city needs an update cause blacktop is bland, but SFOT is on the rise and they’re genuinely getting upgrades which I absolutely love especially now with pirates of speelunker cave and Aquaman opening soon, with more work to SFOT, it can easily pass SFFT or the bigger parks in the near future
im going there soon with my mom because i dont know who else to bring i have no friends :/ but im going to ride every ride but what do you think is the most crazy ride there i want to save the best for last
Always thought Over Texas seemed like a good park. I think Fiesta Texas has a bit more to offer in the way of new coasters, but Fiesta has issues with wind and coasters not being able to run so Over Texas has it beat there.
Great review on this park, I’m wondering if you’ll do a new review on Fiesta Texas with the changes over the years
It's on my list of things to get to eventually- it might be a bit though. Potentially end of this year or sometime next year.
I went here oct 20th.. 2023 my fiancé took me before we were got engaged ( he proposed on dec 16th) I can’t name all the rides but the most memorable were tx giant, the titan, the joker, the swings, the hall of Justice league, the riddler, the car thing and a few more.. the scariest were the joker and the pandemonium was the scariest for me I didn’t think seat was secure, the swings and he brought me to his job to get rid of my fear of heights overall I can say it helped me a lot
I think I’m going this summer I hope I like it
great review you did for this park, did any other reviews for the other SixFlags parks?...i'd love to check them out on your channel!
We have reviews of almost all of the Six Flags parks on the channel! Just head to our channel home page, type in the name of the park you want to see, and the list of videos we’ve posted about the park will pop up! We also have a park reviews playlist you can visit to see all the parks we’ve reviewed in alphabetical order
This is my home park and I think they need to work on food service, trying to get rides open, and just adding more theming in the newer Gotham area. Other than that, I think it’s a good park.
I hope they get rid of the music mill and install a new coaster. It would bring life over to the Shock Wave area and is the music mill isn’t used. I would like a B&M wing coaster or a mack extreme spinner.
Is there any single rider?? Like the fast que for some people who visit alone!
I believe added single rider lines recently to a couple rides!
I only had a day to visit this park and really liked it except we never found the entrance to Judge Roy, we were hoping to just stumble onto it but didn't ... which is weird because its one of the first things you see when entering the park and across the road from the rest of the park?? I think its a 2 day park.
You have to go by the Texas skyscreamer and the majestic theater
I think coaster studios needs to make tips and tricks for six flags over texas
Be aware some of the roller coasters have assigned seats now to reduce wait times.
My biggest complaint is that there are no indoor sections to take a break and escape from that relentless Texas heat
Which one would you rather…. Six Flags Over Georgia, or Six Flags Over Texas? Also, please do a Speelunkers vs Monster Mansion!!
Good question! I personally would lean towards Over Georgia in terms of coaster collection, but Over Texas in terms of atmosphere and layout!
The darkride flooded? I hope there weren't any people in it when that happened
I love you guys
For me, SFOT is a good park but they really don't have a stand out coaster, that's a problem. Shockwave is great. New Texas Gian is pretty good. Titan is pretty good especially that helix. If Shockwave is my favorite ride, that is an issue.
The most disappointing thing for me with this park is that I knew for years they owned the shopping center on the corner next to Batman, but they decided to make it a permanent carnival ride area complete with black pavement pathways (perfect for summers) instead of install a great coaster.
Wish I could buy this park. I would change the damn game! I have an arcade business I’m currently running right now!
Six Flags Over Texas is my home park and I've always enjoyed my trips here. Though I would say, careful on ride CLOSURES. Recently, both Titan and Mr Freeze had to shut down which caused a LOT of bottlenecking at the few other coasters left. I'm pretty much waiting until both those rides are back up and operational before returning there.
I think MR. FREEZE: Reverse Blast is open now but Titan is still closed.
they say titan will open in "late spring" but idk how true that is lol. mr freeze maintenance SUCKS. its worth the wait though
i live like 45 mins away and i always thought it was just some random six flags cool that it was the first six flags
Can you please do an updated Six Flags Great Adventure review?
@Patrick Holland same I don’t think he’s done one since jersey devil and Wonder Woman + the retrack of el toro etc
That’s the plan! One is actually coming VERY soon :)
@@CoasterStudios I can’t wait!!
We've had Aquaman, just now it's revamped as new type of water ride.
Its my home park and its gone downhill hard since NTG was added. This park needs TLC.
The best park in Texas, IMO
In my opinion I think SFFT is the superior park, but then again, they are both SF parks
I am completely baffled to learn that Phantasialand, now famous for Rides like Taron and FLY, had its very own Casa Magnetica where Klugheim/Chiapas now is. Not only was it the same concept, but it was literally the same name and mexican theme. I guess for some european parks the inspiration goes further than disney.
I visited in 2019 and frankly I didn't come away impressed. I've been to 9 different Six Flags parks, and I would rank this 8th. I was really disappointed with the operations. I went in the spring time during their spring break promotion, so you would expect they would be running multiple trains because of the crowds. Nope, one train on New Texas Giant on a Saturday and Sunday. It was very disappointing. The other thing it lacked was a true Standout coaster. New Texas Giant, Shockwave, Mr. Freeze, and Batman are good solid rides, but they need an elite roller coaster similar to what some of the other Six Flags Flags parks have.
00:51 I’ve never seen rocking tug running in person lmao. Not one time.
I want to go and fiesta Texas as well
Try velocicoster in Orlando universal studios
I've ridden it dozens of times! We have a lot of videos about it already on our channel.
As someone who works at universal are good is brutal
I personally like Superman! I heard it was one of the better combo towers.
Fun fact: this is the park where ventriloquist Jeff Dunham got his start!
I got fired for being too late , is there anyway to get rehired?
I don't work here I just make videos on youtube
@@CoasterStudios yea Ik just wanna know if anyone that works here has advice
Hey Taylor can you do a six flags discovery kingdom review?
There’s already one on the channel actually!
@@CoasterStudios ok
