Six Flags Fiesta Texas, 17000 W I-10, San Antonio, TX 78257
Fiesta Texas is an amusement park located in San Antonio, TX. It was built by Gaylord Entertainment Company and opened on March 14th 1992 as the first business of its district. Later it came under Six Flags ownership who bought out Fiesta Texas for 220 acres that spans across this land. The original focus of the park revolved around showcasing musical culture from all over Texas to become a destination performance arts center but later shifted towards more fun rides with roller coasters being added onto their existing lineup within six years after opening day!
Before Fiesta Texas opened in 1992, the site was part of a limestone quarry that began operation in 1934. By 1988, the land where Six Flags now stands had been depleted and became available for development into what is today’s theme park.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas will be celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2022. This celebration begins on New Year’s Eve and lasts throughout the year with multiple events such as food festivals, displays of past attractions, a mini-museum and new roller coasters!
