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 mine train roller coaster in the world, Runaway Mine Train, and a handful of other family-friendly attractions.
