Six Flags Park Opens, March 1, 2008

Did you know Six Flags Over Texas opened in 1961.

They open their 47th season with a new roller coaster - Tony Hawk’s Big Spin. Riders experience the sensation of freestyle skateboarding as they sit facing one another in 4 person cars decked out in skateboard motif. Experience twist and turns in 360° rotations while grinding through two helixes, wild mouse turns, a camelback and much more on the rails of this 1,351-ft. steel coaster. Costing $6.5 million to build, Tony Hawk’s Big Spin is designed to deliver a unique experience each time you ride, because the weight distribution of passengers will determine how each car spins along the track.

Tony Hawk’s Big Spin stands at 53 ft., travels some 31 mph and will be located in the Boom Town section of the park. Families with younger children will find the ride’s height requirement especially enticing, as Tony Hawk’s Big Spin is suitable for kids at least 42″ tall if they are riding with an adult, while kids 47″ may ride alone.

Returning is the most talked-about show in the park’s history, Cirque Dreams Coobrila! This Cirque Productions extravaganza, complete with extraordinary costumes, brilliant imagery and edge-of-your-seat performances.

General Admission to the park is $47 for 2008, but currently, you may buy daily tickets online for $29.99. Click here for details.
