The most popular ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas is the Iron Rattler, perfectly made for thrill-seekers and coaster enthusiasts since its opening in 2013.

The roller coaster boasts a breathtaking 171-foot drop that reaches a maximum speed of 70 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest and tallest hybrid coasters in the world.

Opened in 1961, this park shows you much of the foundation that was used around the next generation of parks.

Many fans love visiting Over Texas due to the history that it created, as well as how the park has been preserved over time.

Best Ride at Over Texas

New Texas Giant is hands down the best ride at Six Flags Over Texas.

Originally making its debut as a wooden coaster, plans quickly changed as it was then updated via the latest technology in steel track engineering.

This coaster provides you the best of both worlds, as you get the wooden coaster feel without most of the roughness that usually comes with it.

The ride begins by making a right, and then immediately climbing the 153 ft hill.

Once you reach the top, you'll briefly be able to see the entire coaster along with a unique view of the park (and city).

Make sure to enjoy it quickly and then hold tight, because a few seconds after that it is time for the massive drop!

You'll reach speeds of 65 miles per hour and even experience at drop at almost 80 degrees.

4. HURRICANE HARBOR SPLASHTOWN - Spring, Texas

Hurricane Harbor Splashtown is a Caribbean-themed water park known for its exciting water rides, including thrilling waterslides and a 500,000-gallon wave pool.
