Six Flags Over Texas featured an attraction known as the Ferrocarril Fiesta Train between 1961 and 1978. Guests would board a train and venture through several scenes that featured engulfing theming and animatronics. The ride’s volcano structure, pictured above, sat in the same location now occupied by the Conquistador attraction

Rider Experience
Conquistador is a classic swinging ship attraction built by Intamin. Located in the park’s Spain section, Conquistador swings riders back and forth, offering a sense of weightlessness. One unique aspect of the attraction is rider interaction. Each of the ride’s ten rows face towards the center of the swinging ship. Five rows on one end are facing the five rows in the other end. Guests are in full view of their neighbor’s screams of joy and terror.
Conquistador was introduced at Six Flags Over Texas during their 1981 season.
Conquistador is the centerpiece of the park’s Spain section.
