45th Anniversary Addition
ACME Rock-n-Rocket came to Six Flags Over Texas in 2006 as part of a 10-attraction package. Perhaps the most thrilling and intense ride of the package, this attraction is made up of previous Looping Starship models, which were located at Six Flags Over Georgia and AstroWorld. Six Flags Over Georgia removed their Looping Starship attraction in 2005 for the addition of the Goliath roller coaster. AstroWorld also removed their model in 2005 due to the park’s unfortunate permanent closure. Several additional pieces, which had been located in Six Flags Over Texas’ parking lot after construction, pointed to ACME Rock-n-Rocket being made up of both models.
In 2014, ACME Rock-n-Rocket was demolished and scrapped to make way for the park’s Justice League: Battle for Metropolis dark ride attraction. ACME Rock-n-Rocket was located in the attraction’s present-day outdoor queue area.
ACME Rock-n-Rocket was located in the park’s USA section.
The attraction could hold up to 50 riders per cycle.
Riders of ACME Rock-n-Rocket went through both indoor and outdoor queue areas.
ACME Rock-n-Rocket featured both over-the-shoulder and lapbar restraints.
The attraction and its queue were themed to Looney Tunes characters.
ACME Rock-n-Rocket reached heights of 84 feet.
