    Whoa....this place has really went to the dumps.

    We were bored yesterday and decided to give it a shot. Both my wife and I haven't been since around 1998 or so, and we thought our son would enjoy it. Since season passes were just slightly more than a day pass, and we could do this package deal and get 4 with a bunch of other stuff, we went ahead and did that, thinking it would be nice to have somewhere to go when we are bored. 200 dollar mistake.

    The place looks like some abandon amusement park that some people just took over and started working. Over half of the stuff was closed and/or broken. Gift shops completely shut own and abandon, the water park dried up...trash and junk everywhere. Whole place smelled like garbage / piss / random stinky ...

    Ill be surprised if the place doesn't shut down for good soon. Was pretty disappointed with it.

    Surprised to hear about this. I haven't been to Fiesta Texas in probably five years, and while it wasn't nearly what I remembered it to be as a kid, I don't remember it falling into that much disrepair.

    I just remember sitting and people watching....all the kids who were obviously having the time of their life, being followed around by all the adults who obviously were not.

    As for the water park, they've always shut that down after summer. Their calendar shows that 9/3 was the last weekend it would be open, so maybe you just had bad timing there.

    Fiesta Texas went downhill after Six Flags bought them out. Sure, it was nice to finally get some new rides after like ten years of nothing, but they also took away the Christmas season with all of the lights and shows and stuff, and that used to be one of my favorite times to go.

    that place is perfectly ing fine. I went there about a year ago in the summer and it was great. Absolutely no better or worse than Over Texas so I don't know what you expect

    I would go when it first open and last time was about 2 years ago, and to me it seem pretty much the same just more crowded and new rides.

    If that's the case, then I retract my LOL, but you still need to go in the summer if you want (concessions, water park) to be open.

    They are good for the rest of this year and all of next year...so its basicaly a season and a half pass.


    I get that it is off season, but the place is a wreck...you would just have to go check it out to see what i am talking about.

    Its almost depressing.

    Yea, there is plenty of this...

    It is seriously like Six Flags forgot they own this place and they just let it go...Kiddy park on broadway is better maintained.

    lol how is that possible? I thought more than half of the park's theme is like 50's to 60's culture. Haven't been there in forever though.

    I have season passes this year and have been several times this summer. What park were you visiting???? Nothing was closed, it was pretty clean and we had a great time. It's still expensive as to buy food and such, but I didn't experience anything like what you posted...

    I went to both Over Texas and Fiesta Texas this year and both were fine. Arlington obviously has a bigger park with more rides, but neither were dirty or run down. The kids had a good time.

    I agree slightly. I'd say that if The an weren't there then they'd be perfectly even, but GOTDAMN that thing kicks your ass. So a slight advantage on rides for Over Texas

    Either we have vastly different ideas of what is run down and trashy, or they just completely let the place fall apart after the summer rush...either way im not exaggerating.

    Go take a look at the reviews on tripadvisor as well, they pretty much mirror what i said.

    oh that seems like a good deal provided the park is decent next year. Probably an off season thing.
