Name & Location Changes
The Boomtown train station was first introduced in 1963 with the addition of the Boomtown park area. Prior to this, guests could only board the Six Flags Railroad via the Texas Depot. At the end of 1972, the Boomtown train station was removed with the addition of a new park area. In 1973, Six Flags Over Texas added Good Time Square to the park. With the new area addition, the Good Time Square Station was introduced. Though built at the same location as the Boomtown train station, Good Time Square Station was located on the outside of the railroad loop. When the Mr. Freeze roller coaster made its debut at the park, the Goodtimes Square train station was removed and Boomtown Depot was constructed, located on the interior side of the railroad loop. Remnants of the Goodtimes Square train station can still be spotted today.
