Six Flags Over Texas
The first park in the Six Flags chain, opened in 1961. Its roller coasters, including Titan and the New Texas Giant, are the highlights for thrill seekers.
Six Flags Over Texas is in Arlington and opened in 1961 as the first park in the Six Flags chain. Its sections are named after the six flags that have flown over Texas. The park has many roller coasters, including Titan, with a drop of about 78 meters; the New Texas Giant, a wood and steel hybrid; and a classic mine-train coaster. There are also DC Super Heroes and children's areas. In summer, you can combine your visit with the neighboring Hurricane Harbor water park. Tickets are cheaper when bought online. Plan on a full day. It is about 30 kilometers from downtown Dallas and requires a car.
