Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Our third day in San Antonio was spent at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.  I think the thing that impressed me the most about this park was that it was really pretty for a Six Flags Park.  The park was built by an old quarry, and the quarry wall provides a backdrop for many of the rides.  Some of them are even built using the terrain of the quarry wall itself. We arrived at the park early, stayed until the afternoon, left in the hottest part of the day, then returned in the evening for the fireworks.  Our favorite coaster was Iron Rattler.  We got several rides on it.  We were also able to ride Wonder Woman Golden Lasso coaster.  This just opened and is the first of its kind (a single rail coaster) in the world.  We knew the line for Golden Lasso would be long, so we went there first and were on the first train of the day.  The other notable coaster that we rode was Superman: Krypton Coaster which is the best floorless coaster that we've ridden.

We all agree that Six Flags Fiesta Texas is a keeper.  The rides were really good, the crowds weren't bad, and the park was clean.  The fireworks show was also a nice surprise.  We thought that we would just be getting some low-level fireworks, but that's not what happened.  The show not only had fireworks but also used the quarry wall to project images on.  There was also a fountain incorporated and at one point the water turned to flames and it was like a fountain of fire.  We left the fireworks show like, "Whoa- that was really good".  I love it when things exceed my expectations, and Fiesta Texas did in every way.
