Six Flags Over Texas, the world-famous original park in the Six Flags family, will reopen Saturday, Feb. 28 for its 2026 season and begin a yearlong celebration of its 65th anniversary. The milestone year marks a new chapter for the park, supported by a multimillion-dollar reinvestment that introduces new and upgraded attractions, show venues and new entertainment designed to launch a new era for the historic Texas destination.<\/p>\n
The celebration will feature park-wide enhancements, expanded festivals and refreshed favorite food, shows and rides along with the most ambitious new developments in the history of the park, including Tormenta Rampaging Run, a world record-breaking coaster that serves as a signature addition for the 65th anniversary. Tormenta Rampaging Run will become the tallest, fastest and longest giga dive coaster in the world and will break six world records when it opens later this year, reshaping the skyline and reinforcing the park\u2019s legacy as a leader in thrill innovation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we celebrate 65 years of thrilling fun at Six Flags Over Texas, we are honored to share a season that reflects both our history and our future,\u201d said Mark Boyer, park manager for Six Flags Over Texas. \u201cThis year represents a major investment in the guest experience, with improvements and entertainment that will showcase the park in new ways for our neighbors and guests from around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
With new attractions, expanded entertainment and major enhancements throughout the property, 2026 is set to be the most robust season in the park\u2019s 65-year history.<\/p>\n
Signature Anniversary Attraction: Tormenta Rampaging Run<\/p>\n
Debuting later this year, Tormenta Rampaging Run will be the tallest, fastest and longest giga dive coaster in the world. The more than 300-foot coaster will break six world records and redefine the skyline with a one-of-a-kind experience that reinforces the park\u2019s heritage as a leader in innovation and big thrills. The historic new attraction will tower over a brand-new Spanish village called Rancho de la Tormenta and new restaurant Cocina de la Abuela, all fittingly located in the park\u2019s Spain area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
