Six Flags Fiesta Texas Building New Racing Kid's Coasters + Kid's Waterslides for 2023

In a year that looked like no Six Flags parks were going to be getting much of anything new besides festivals, Six Flags Fiesta Texas has proven us all wrong.  The park has announced not one but two new additions for the park's 2023 season, and one of them is a brand new pair of intertwined family roller coasters!  Six Flags Fiesta Texas, largely through its excellent leadership, is a hotbed of trying out new attractions for the Six Flags parks, and 2023 will be no exception.

The park's water park, White Water Bay, will have a very family friendly new addition in 2023.  Seen above, the park will build a set of 7 junior water slides, all from Proslide, to their already expansive list of attractions.  The slides will include mini versions of the company's popular large slides, including a Kidz Tornado, Kidz Tornado Wave and Kidz OctopusRacer slides.  Similar installations of these sets of small slides have proven super popular with kids, so I'm sure this will be a big hit at White Water Bay.

The most interesting addition is definitely the first ever set of intertwined racing P'Sghetti Bowl roller coasters from Skyline Attractions.  The children's roller coasters are twisted around each other as seen in the diagram above, but are technically two separate roller coasters next to one another.  The coasters will be designed, engineered and fabricated by Skyline Attractions, according to their news release.


The twisted layout of the coasters stretch a combined total of 1,124 feet in length, and the track cross over each other a total of 12 times during the ride.  Six Flags Fiesta Texas has not chosen a name or theme for the new coasters yet, but are also excited that the weld-free single-rail track on both ride will be lined with Skyline Attractions' Aurora LED lightning package.  With LED panels installed right on the track, these new coasters are guaranteed to glow both day and night!
