Summer is here and it's time to ride the roller coasters with your hands in the air proving you're not scared to ride! Roller coasters are the central attraction to any good theme park and there's not a shortage of them all within a days' drive of East Texas!
One of my favorite things to do in the entire world is to ride roller coasters! Thankfully I live close enough to Six Flags Over Texas that I can get my fill of thrills just about any time I want and there's a new one opening this spring too!
East Texas summer essentials include a barbecue pit, cold beer, a lake and some fun in the sun. While KNUE can't give you a lake, cold beers or a barbecue pit, we can and will give away fun in the sun!
This weekend is the last weekend you’ll be able to ride The Texas Chute Out and Flashback at Six Flags Over Texas. The park will stop operating these thrill rides Monday evening and the space will be occupied by a new thrill ride called the Texas SkyScreamer which will open in 2013!
Your final chance to ride two iconic rides at Six Flags Over Texas will be Labor Day. The park will be closing the Texas Chute Out along with Flashback after decades of service to make way for a yet to be announced new attraction for the park.
