Fiesta Texas

[baseline bum]

I haven't been in about 10 years. Are any of the roller-coasters put in since then good?

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...

Same, I went during our visit in April and don't ever remember thinking it was dirty or run-down. Had a great time with the wife and kid

Everybody remember the good ole Jokers Revenge ride from Fiesta Texas? That thing would give you a concussion after the ride was over.

That ride didn't mess around. From the jump-start to the crazy, backward turns that would slam your head against the rubber "headrests", to the super brakes at the end.

Good times.

Remember the original Rattler? That was the coaster that got me into coasters. I was anti-coaster until the day that I conquered that thing (probably from all of the rumors of the crash test dummy whose head got taken off in the tunnel). It was notoriously herky-jerky and only gave you a lap bar for that sense of semi-protection.

Years later (when Six Flags took over I think), they renovated the ride to make it a little smoother and also added strap belts as well. I'm not sure how it runs these days though.

they also shortened the main drop by like 20 feet. I remember back when I was a little kid I got to ride it before they did that and being happy that I got to experience the headache before they pussified it

I think it only lasted a season before they started taming it. It was great that first year though.

That first year of the Rattler was ing amazing. Easily one of the best coasters I had ever ridden.
