This is the Knotts Berry Farm of the Six Flags Chain (well, until Knotts Berry Farm itself became the Knotts Berry Farm of the new Six Flags chain.) But both have the best appearance and even arguably qualify as true theme parks. And their coaster collections are quite good even if not the overall best. Fiesta Texas feels like what Six Flags ought to be. They actually use their IPs well.
Totally agree. We just went for the first time last month, the day that Kid Flash opened. I must have said a dozen times "how is this a six flags park?". The theming is amazing and it's run so well. You can tell that Jeffery Siebert really cares about his park. Got to meet him, super nice guy as well

Except for the fact Kings Island has amazing and diverse array of meal plan food including healthy hearty choices, and focused on operations over lame theming which is boring if you're over 13, has a much better waterpark than Hurricane Harbor, and isn't in a 110 degree summer climate. Oh, and Kings Island doesn't make you wear your flip flops on the likes of.... Invertigo, Banshee et al. And Fiesta Texas has NOTHING after Iron Rattler, I mean Wonder Woman is its second best coaster which isn't that great, and it's down 60% of the time. It's my off-season home park, sadly, along with Sea World San Antonio. Yeah the Joker is a better Frisbee than Delirium but otherwise Kings Island SMOKES Fiesta Texas.

I used to live beside Fiesta Texas in those orange roofed apartments. That was before i became an enthusiast. The park became my destressing place from work and life. I go there 3x a week. Helped me so much with life and also the reason why I eventually became a thoosie. Honestly a beautiful place.

LOL Sarah casually explaining how she's lost the light of adrenaline inside around 18:00. Such a gem 😆❤
This was a huge vlog! Almost as big as Texas itself. This is honestly one of my most wanted to visit parks. I remember being blown away the first time I saw footage of Iron Rattler. The way it comes over that wall, just stunning. Definitely one of the most picturesque coaster out there. The rest of the ride line up looks wonderful too.

Everything you listed apart from Iron Rattler is a C tier coaster. You could make a case for WW being B tier but its lack of reliability that makes Maverick on a steamy Sandusky Saturday seem like an emblem of reliability by comparison, drops WW a peg. Iron Rattler is definitely A tier, but Six Flags Over Texas has 4 B-tier coasters that are better than Fiesta Texas's #2, and Titan is arguably A tier.
We’re moving from Florida to Texas, so starting to research theme parks in Texas. This was a great overview! Thank you!
It’s the only Six Flags I’ve ever been to. I was in San Antonio on business this September (from the UK). Having heard that Six Flags parks are a bit sparse on the theming, I was pleasantly surprised by how well themed it is. Dr Diabolical is probably the second-best themed B&M dive coaster in the world (after Baron at Efteling). I don’t get beyond vertical drops, though. And seeing the track below doesn’t have the same thrill as Oblivion or Baron.
Iron Rattler is my second favorite RMC. It runs insanely fast during the summer and has the most comfortable trains of any RMC I’ve been on.
I went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas the other day, and it is one of the best amusement parks I have ever gone to 😊❤
Season pass holder here, we are very lucky to have this park here in San Antonio! All the shows are always very good all year long too.
GOD... this is something i really miss about my old hometown. my family and i went to fiesta texas SO many times, i've been on almost all the rides and god it seems like this park has only gotten BETTER since i left. the last ride they added before i moved was daredevil dive, which i got to ride like 3 times in a row early!! if anyone's thinking about visiting san antonio, this place is DEDINITELY worth the stop (incredibly inflated prices since i last went notwithstanding...)
In Siebert We Trust
Been watching since day 1. Never a dull video. Thank you sir

Summer is literally the worst time to go to a 110 degree theme park. Go before Mardi Gras ends or don't go at all.
Omg I was just as surprised as you when I saw the themeing for Dr Diabolical. The inside literally felt like universal. It did not al all feel like Six Flags, but it was! And the ride was really good too. Dr Diabolical and Poltergeist theming make this park not seem six flags, it's truly amazing.
Hey guys! It was great to hang out with yall at the park and meet you. As a little fun fact trivia, there actually used to br a roller coaster next to wonderwoman where pandemonium currently sits. It was called Jokers Revenge (I believe) but it was a corkscrew coaster that operated with the entire train backwards!

No, WW is only a few years old and Pandemonium used to be Tony Hawk's Big Spin. It was around a lot longer than WW or Batman S&S 4D Spin and Rockville was completely re-built. Iron Rattler was a Rattler that made Mean Streak seem smooth. Gee, you are young.

@jandrew1994 the old vekoma used to be next to where wonder woman is now. The station for the ride was why the big warehouse building above the gokarts was made. This same warehouse now hosts the new Tangled Haunted house and the station for pandemonium. It was removed in 2001. This is my home park and has been for many years.
Such a beautiful Six Flags park.
We were rained out for most of the the afternoon, but, what we did experience during the morning and evening made us all fall in love with this park. Happy that Holiwood Nights and Rodeo are 2 different weekends so we can do both.
How were you able to go up on the quarry wall? Edit: nvm 3:50
Yeah the Poltergeist queue is fire! And yes Taylor, it felt magnificent in the summer since it was 100 degrees when I was in TX lol
So happy that this is my home park. Although every time I’ve gone Kid Flash has been closed. Also WWGLC was running 2 trains but one train had 3 usable seats and the second train had the front and back seats out of order. According to the ride ops it’s a common occurrence and the trains are the majority of the problem. I’ve never really had an issue with OTS restraints but the ones on WWGLC feel like they’re trying to crush my collar bones. Can’t wait for these gen 2 trains.
1:13 Not even 2 minutes in the video, ofc Sarah is already talking about Nitro😂😂😂
In the late 90s and early 2000s this park was mid at best. Today it’s one of the best in the chain. Incredible!
I can't even believe that gorgeous park is a Six Flags. Wow. Fantastic rides with theming, clean, good atmosphere. If only Six Flags St. Louis was like that lol
The best SF park for sure. I used to live in Texas and went several times. Also go to ZDT's about 40 minutes from there in Seguin. They have the Switchback roller coaster.
That’s so cool that you guys love this park. I love it to my favorite ride is road runner because I like the family rides more than the crazy roller coasters. That new flash ride looks amazing.
Closest amusement park to me. Only been twice, and once was on a scorchingly hot day where we barely ventured out of the water park area. This really is a great location and the quarry walls sort of make you forget where you are located most of the time.
I'm itching to get out to Fiesta Texas! I'm struggling to name a park formerly in Cedar Fair with this level of theming and the quarry wall gives outback Australia vibes! And the coaster collection is just 👌!
Personally this is my home park and I am so happy because of that.
This is one park I want to get to.
Just went last weekend! For sure the best park!
My home park! glad you guys came definitely one of the best six flags parks, top 3 for sure.
Thank you for mentioning Rollercoaster Rodeo! I was already planning a June trip down there so this is perfect.
Another amazing video from Coaster Studios. Your videos are always a work of art.
Haven’t been to many parks (kings island as a kid) and mostly fiesta Texas a bunch as I live in Austin. Happy to have Fiesta Texas as my home park.
It seems like a great park but would be a perfect park(for enthusiasts) with some more top tier coasters

And top tier dining plan options like what Cedar Point and Kings Island have.
the view from the quarry wall reminds me of zooming in on rollercoaster tycoon with a full park.
You should do a Six Flags, Cedar Fair ranking video!
Six flags fiesta texas is a very fun park, we got to experience it during Feliz fiesta!!! But quick question how were you able to record on some of the rides (six flags doesn't allow recording on the rides) and get access to restricted areas like the quarry wall???
I just went there and I agree!
The sad thing is, is that this level of theming is something every Six Flags and Cedar Fair park can have for all of their attractions, if not at least their major roller coasters. They don’t need some extremely complex animatronics or randomly generated sequences to have a well themed queline when what they have for Fiesta Texas’ Batman, Dr. Diabolical and Poltergeist would absolutely suffice. Aside from that, as an outsider who’s never been to this park, the only thing it seems to really need to me at this point is a pure airtime machine with no inversions of any kind. Like maybe a Mack somewhere in the 150ft-200ft range.
I'm so glad this is my home park, I love it and glad u guys do too
I’m going here for Roller Coaster Rodeo next year! Super excited!
I agree Fiesta is an amazing park, their coaster line up is good, I am thing a mack spinner and a hyper/giga interacting with the quarry wall would round out their lineup and make them a top tier coaster park. The problem with the hyper/giga is how to fit it in without pulling a six flags over Georgia and ruining the overall appearance of the park.
Thank you so much. That makes me excited that you speak highly of my home park.
I've been a fan and a follower of coaster studios for years and watch your videos and im so pleased of your video of my home park..(i live in san marcos tx about 50 miles away)I am also a rollercoaster/theme park,amusement park enthusiast and also work in one waterpark (Schlitterbahn)Im so glad about everything you said about it. I have been to over 50 amusement parks and im working on 50 more in the next 5 years i live for amusement parks and you have been a great help to me in all your reviews...Thanks for all you do..And enjoy them rides for me..Maybe one day ill run into you and if you happen to visit Schlitterbahn this summer be sure to ask for Jose..

100% the best Six Flags park. Hands down.
Great video guys, I must say I do miss your coaster parodies though. Those were very creative & entertaining.

I'd rank it third behind Great Adventure (if fully operational) and SFMM. After that Over Texas and then toss-up between Fiesta Texas and Over Georgia. New England is up there, too. The main issue SF Great America Chicago has is staffing shortages because it's much closer to Wisconsin than Chicago and Wisconsinites don't want to be double-taxed and Chicagoans live too far. It's in far north Lake County IL and that's a problem for staffing.
This video brought me a hundred joys and a million tears of happiness. Fiesta is a great park -TOP OF THE LINE! It was fun watching the two stars of Coaster Studios become perfectly satisfied by the Park's leadership, great employees, and the great and glorious Obama-esque mind of company leadership - Selim Bassoul. Selim Bassoul has titillated the juices of Sarah and Taylor's Guilty Pleasure!!! and it's only gonna get better and wetter with Cedar Fair on Board. YEEET!!!

I think it would be cool if they changed the recording on cliff hanger every so often it gets old fast especially when you ride it over and over. They could even change the preshow with the same staging of everything and have different parts of the story throughout the year

Whatever is going on at Fiesta Texas, they need to take notes from around the chain. Even the cedar fair parks could learn a lot from this park.
The first time I went there iron rattler and Wonder Woman were both closed 🙃
While I love Fiesta Texas, I HATE the freespins. Whenever I ride them they trash my shoulders and neck. Miserable experiences. This park really could use a hyper
The wave swinger looks like it runs a bit faster than the average installation.
My experience at this park was nothing short of terrible. Iron Rattler was closed the whole time, the park was packed, multiple coasters had one train running, the operations were some of the worst I’ve ever seen, they had my least favorite S&S free spin at the time (free spins are my least coaster model), and despite 3 trains running on Wonder Woman, each train had half the seats blocked off for some reason. They weren’t even running it at 2 train capacity, so that line was through all the switchbacks and way outside the entrance

Sarah: "I like that it's a girl ride" Same. I'll need to go someday, as this looks like a great park. Don't know if it beats my experience at Magic Mountain but definately a top 2 Six Flags park, based on this. Sorta reminds me of Silver Dollar City, as in cool rock formation, RMC, terrain usage on coasters, and good theaming on the coasters. As soon as it becomes safe for me to visit the southern US, it will happen. This year will mostly focus on conquering my soon to be new home: the Pacific Northwest. And of course, alpine coasters in states like Colorado on my way out. When I get on alpine coasters in February this year it will mean at some point in my life I will have ridden a coaster in all 12 months of the year.
