Park Areas
Six Flags Over Texas opened in 1961 with six major defined park areas. Newer sections, such as Boomtown and Tower, were added as the park expanded in the 1960s. Today, Six Flags Over Texas features seven themed areas.
Boomtown
The Boomtown section was added to Six Flags Over Texas in 1963. Considered a historical add-on of the USA area, Boomtown replicates a turn-of-the-century oil town in Texas. The area is home to the first ever mine train roller coaster, Runaway Mine Train, and a handful of other family-friendly attractions.
Gotham City
Gotham City, themed around the fictional comic book city, was established at Six Flags Over Texas in 1999 with the addition of Batman: The Ride. In 2016, Gotham City would expand further and completely take over the Goodtimes Square park area. Gotham City features several high-thrill attractions, including Mr. Freeze and The Riddler Revenge.
Mexico & Spain
Turning left once you’ve entered through the park’s front gate leads directly to Mexico and Spain. These two areas opened with the park in 1961 as they signify two of the six flags that have ruled Texas throughout time. Spain is home to the La Fiesta de las Tazas teacups ride, while Mexico features the long-standing El Sombrero attraction.
Old South & France
Old South and France make up two more of the original Six Flags Over Texas park areas. Old South features Runaway Mountain, an indoor roller coaster, along with the Southern Palace Theatre performance venue.
Rides & Attractions
Texas
Texas, an original park area, is jam-packed with attractions and history. Here you can find the tallest roller coaster in Texas, the Titan, as well as the world's first-ever log flume ride, El Aserradero. Texas is also home to the park's oldest performance venue, Crazy Horse Saloon. Want to ride an attraction that opened with the first season? Stop by Texas Depot and board the Six Flags Railroad.
Tower
The Tower area was added to Six Flags Over Texas in 1969, brought on by the addition of Oil Derrick. This area of the park is full of record-breaking attractions such as Superman: Tower of Power and Shock Wave, which was the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster when constructed.
USA
USA is one of the six original park areas, meant to feature the modern times of the country. USA extends from the Star Mall area down to Gotham City. Attractions in the area include Judge Roy Scream, the park's only wooden coaster, Justice League: Battle for Metropolis and the park’s expansive Bugs Bunny Boomtown children’s area.
