I love me some high thrill roller coasters! In the northwest part of San Antonio near La Cantera…read morewhere I10 meets Loop 1604 lies the closest Six Flags theme park (with roller coasters) to Houston since Astroworld closed decades ago. I've been to this particular Six Flags location over 25 times over my lifetime, and it has a great mix of rides for everyone. In my opinion, there are better Six Flags theme parks like Six Flags over Texas in Arlington and Six Flags Great America in Chicago, but this one in San Antonio is pretty good. It comes with several high thrill ride options like Iron Rattler (my favorite), Superman Krypton Coaster, and Wonder Woman. It also has lots of tamer rides for all ages. The food options are also pretty good, especially Johnny Rockets (those burgers and fries are amazing). As for crowds, it's hit or miss. Just know that on weekends around Halloween, Fright Night gets pretty packed. Same for Christmas at the Park. I once waited in line for over 2 hours to ride Iron Rattler. Less busy times like early May before the real summer kicks off, wait times are all less than 30 minutes even for the popular rides. There is also a water park directly connected inside the park so that's super convenient. In Dallas the water park is completely separate. As for pricing it's gone up over the years (even parking is $40 now whereas it was $20 not too long ago), but compared to the high end theme parks like Disney and Universal, Six Flags is very affordable. Enjoy!

Six Flags Over Texas is easily one of the more visually unique parks in the chain …read more The setting really stands out - it's built against a quarry wall, which gives it a cool backdrop you don't see at most theme parks. I also loved the consistent Hispanic/fiesta-style theming throughout the park. It adds a fun, vibrant energy that makes the whole place feel lively and different. Getting into the park was surprisingly smooth and fast, which is always a great way to start the day. Once inside, the atmosphere is super energetic with lots going on, but be ready for crowds - especially on busy days. A couple things to plan for: parking is pretty expensive ($39 for general and $55 for premier), so keep that in mind when budgeting your trip. Also, the Texas heat is no joke, so definitely come prepared with water, sunscreen, and maybe a game plan to stay cool. Overall, it's a fun, high-energy park with a unique look and vibe. If you can handle the heat and crowds, it's a great place to spend the day.

Hold on tight! Then you go flying through the "bowl of spaghetti" until you're scared out of your wits. This thing flings you around spins you right round, baby, right round. It's a fun one! My favorite part, other than the terrifying dips and spins, is the line to get in, where you go through a haunted house laboratory and there's a whole little act that comes with it. It's super fun!

first visit, super cool!…read more We decided to visit on one of the hottest days of the summer. To our surprise, it wasn't too busy. From what I saw, the place was kept clean. The lifeguards are on it! My family & I felt very safe at this park. The water was on the warm side, but considering that it's hot as heck outside, it makes sense.

The carousel was also super fun and the only ride where parents are allowed on (and for free with your child). I like the carousel has a more of a galloping motion instead of a straight up and down motion. We came on the weekend after Christmas in the early afternoon and spent about 1.5 hours here. They dont have attendants at each ride but it's easy to get their attention if they aren't at a ride that you want to go on. It's not busy by any means, but there were a few kids on most rides with her. No Lines which is important for an impatient kid! Overall, great for the 3-6yo age range! Brings back all the nostalgia too of when I was a kid and went on these rides! Happy 100 anniversary Kiddie Park!

It's been around since the 1920's and my friend whose daughter's birthday we went to said her AND her Mom had been there before! 2 generations! That was fascinating to me! Apparently they moved it from its original location and now it's next to the zoo and u think it's actually owned by the zoo. It has a very very vintage feel almost spooky lol but it was a very fun experience! My daughter had a blast and I will definitely be bringing her back! One last thing, parking is a challenge! We parked in the zoo free parking next to the brackenridge park and it was so crowded and busy! We eventually found parking. I still highly recommend!

GREAT EXPERIENCE & PRICE WITH GROUPON! I decided to go racing here with friends for my birthday!…read moreSomething told me to check Groupon. Sure enough there was a Groupon for $48 for 2 races for 2 people and memberships for both or 4 races for 1 person and a membership for that person. My babe and I used both races during this single visit. Each race consisted of 14 laps around the track. The race cars go super fast (40-50mph). The first race was nerve wrecking because as a newbie you're getting used to the car, track and speed. However, the second race I was Danika Patrick, lol. I went from 7th place to 2nd place and this was my first time at K1 Speed! Overall had a great time celebrating my birthday. The facility is nice and clean! They have arcade games and lounges, table to relax at during down time after your race. The staff were very friendly! At the end I realized I could have received a free race on my birthday but I had already left the facility. I contacted them promptly and the added a race credit to my account for the next day! Great Customer Service!

Basic customer service was missing, which really took away from the whole vibe of the place. When you're spending your time and money, you expect at least a decent experience, but this just didn't deliver. Personally, I would avoid this place unless they seriously improve how they treat customers.

I really like this ride a lot as it is a thrilling ride. I think I have to ride more of this ride…read moreas the ride was running pretty slow that day. The two times I have been to this park they only been running only 1 train on a busy day. The other problem was that that 1 train had 8 closed seats so operations will be slow and even though the line does not seem short, the line will move slow. I wonder why they do not fix the seats to the train or why there is not another cart other than they want to preserve the wear the tear. The drop is cool and going upside down twice is awesome. Would definitely recommend the ride, but would suggest going to this one first.
