Six Flags Fiesta Texas

This park is built in an old quarry so that the walls of the quarry surround the park. It makes the area feel rather unique. Since it was a hot day, we brought our stuff into the park right away and headed for the water park to drop stuff in a locker. The locker set-up here was very nice. You put your credit card into the machine and told it what size locker you wanted, it would charge you for the locker and assign one to you, you then chose a 4 digit code for your locker and it would unlock the locker. You put your stuff in and it automatically relocked the locker after it was closed for a certain amount of time. By doing things this way, we didn't have to worry about losing a key AND either of us could go to the locker whenever we wanted without worrying about having the key with us.

Then it was time to hit the rollercoasters. RCDB.details )

Off to change, empty the locker drop at the car and get the camera. Java graciously took pictures of lots of things for me (including the beautiful flamenco dancer near the entrance). The shots from the ferris wheel did not come out well (not a great location and getting dark). We did a re-ride on the flume and just missed getting a re-ride on the Mine Train. Then we visited customer service to make some comments (mostly good, one or two minor negative ones (like not closing the entrance to the line when closing at the end of the day) and found out about removal of jester/joker (a coaster that showed up on some maps of the park on the net). The park has nice statues, nice theming (especially the boardwalk area which really looked a lot like I imagine OC does ... all the rides were themed (the mini-tea-cups were tugboats). I was tempted by the sling shot ride but didn't go, the antique cars were 50s style. I did deliberately NOT ride the boomerang coaster since I strongly suspect I had been on enough siblings to understand its ride without a first hand (and painful) experience. The park is fairly clean, nice ride ops, fast loads, minor line jumping, VERY cute kiddie frog jumping ride (w/western saddles), kiddie rides throughout the park (in addition to a small kids section). Souvenir refills are a GoodThing
