North Texas’ premier Christmas event, Holiday in the Park®, returns to Six Flags Over Texas bigger, brighter, and better than ever. This year’s festival will feature seven new shows and four new seasonal activities for the whole family, partnered with fan favorites such as photos with Santa, thrilling rides and dazzling lights. Holiday in the Park opens Sunday, Nov. 24 and runs weekends and select weekdays through Dec. 31. 

Six Flags Over Texas will receive an array of theme park enhancements in 2025 and Hurricane Harbor Arlington will debut the largest investment in park history with the introduction of a massive interactive kids area, Splash Island. In a groundbreaking announcement, Six Flags also revealed that a record-breaking dive roller coaster will launch at the Arlington theme park in 2026.

The merger between Six Flags and Cedar Fair took place just over two months ago and we've seen lots of changes so far, including Cedar Fair management taking over operations, updated season pass structures and new job postings for high-level positions at select parks. After visiting most Cedar Fair legacy parks over the last five years, it is clear that many crucial improvements can come to Six Flags Over Texas without the investment of multi-million dollar rides and attractions. Heres's our wish list of the top three changes we'd like to see implemented to the park.

Six Flags is excited to announce that the All Park Passport add-on will offer access to more parks starting in 2025. The All Park Passport is an add-on that allows you to access additional legacy Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks with select 2025 Season Passes.

Earlier this month, Six Flags Over Texas unveiled their new Bugs Bunny Boomtown attractions, which are Sylvester & Tweety Pounce and Bounce and the returning Daffy Duck Bucket Blasters. Fright Fest is just over two months away and we've been able to confirm an entertainment offering and discuss the haunted house teasers that have been released. Finally, another food review gauges if the park's food quality has improved since our first summer visit.

Six Flags Over Texas, the Thrill Capital of Texas, today announced that two new rides, Daffy Duck Bucket Blasters and Sylvester and Tweety Pounce and Bounce, will be opening to the public on July 4 at 3 p.m., 2024. A Grand Opening ceremony will be held on July 6 at 11:00 a.m.

Six Flags Over Texas has begun their summertime operations, opening daily until they close on Tuesdays beginning later in the month. Summer at the park looks a little different with a lack of events and no entertainment offerings during weekdays. Food prices, along with a surcharge, continue to increase while quality suffers.

Cedar Fair (NYSE: FUN) and Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: SIX) today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement to combine in a merger of equals transaction. The combined company, with a pro forma enterprise value of approximately $8 billion based on both companies’ debt and equity values as of October 31, 2023, will be a leading amusement park operator in the highly competitive leisure space with an expanded and diversified footprint, a more robust operating model and a strong revenue and cash flow generation profile.

Our final visit to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Over Texas takes place the week before Christmas. Though the park has more decorations since our previous visit, we run into issues with Holiday Market offerings closing early and the midday cancellation of shows.

Total revenue for third quarter 2022 decreased $133 million, or 21%, compared to third quarter 2021, driven by lower attendance partially offset by higher per capita spending. The lower attendance was driven by an increase in ticket prices and elimination of free tickets and heavily-discounted product offerings.

Fright Fest 2022 takes place now through October 31 at Six Flags Over Texas. This year's spooky Halloween celebration features the return of popular entertainment, six haunted houses and six scare zones. Join us for an in-depth tour of the event, including a look at scare zones in action, the return of Arania and Dr. Fright and haunted house reviews.

Yesterday, Six Flags Over Texas introduced a new three-tier season pass offering. While not every Six Flags park has adopted this concept, we should expect to see these offerings go chain-wide before spring. Now that memberships are no longer for purchase, we explain what current members can expect and how they can learn more about the new Legacy Member program.

Six Flags and their new CEO, Selim Bassoul, are undergoing several corporate changes and attempts at restructuring. This has affected Six Flags Over Texas as the Fire & Ice Winter Festival has been canceled and the park's president, Ron McKenzie, was relieved of his position. Join us as we talk through these changes and also feature updates on construction and enhancement projects around the park.

Join us in touring the new, opened up area at the park's front gate after some extensive building removal. We also head over to Texas Arena where crews are actively working on demolishing structures within. Other updates include a look at progress on Pirates of Speelunker Cave, Aquaman: Power Wave and more.
