This rainy day Six Flags Over Texas update takes a look at ongoing ride refurbishments, including the extensive system upgrade taking place at Runaway Mine Train, along with fresh paint coming to Rodeo. We also take a look at the completed El Sombrero paint job, head to Pirates of Speelunker Cave for a quick update, enjoy some new food offerings and talk about summer entertainment.

The park is offering a cool package for those of you who are wanting to try out The Joker early before it opens to the general public. Six Flags Over Texas is calling it the "First 2 Ride VIP Package" and it will be valid for Wednesday, May 17th.

The park has uploaded an official video showing off the process of building The Joker as well as informing us that the ride will open to the public on Saturday, May 20th.

Six Flags Over Texas, the Thrill Capital of Texas, and Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment, announces the opening of its 13th and most maniacal roller coaster to date, an all-new free-fly coaster called, The Joker.
