Things to improve
By woof69, 10/18/09
I have been going to 6 Flags since the 60's as a kid. The rides have always been great. The lines can be very long. Could use more misters when it is hot. The food service at the park is an "F". LONG lines to buy over priced drinks and really bad food. You can smell the burnt grease while you stand in the long lines. I have seen burger patties piled up waiting to be thrown on a bun. The burgers have nasty meat and are warmed up at best. Low grade of meat I am assuming to save money. All the food places are under staffed and slow. Fright fest and Holiday in the park there is better food because they bring in outside vendors who know how to do it. It is still pricey but their food is 10 times better than the nasty park food. Why cant 6 Flags open a couple of restaurants on site ? Your other option is to put a cooler in your car with food and drinks and enjoy a picnic during the day. The park needs to sink some money into restroom facilities. They may be the same ones from when I was a kid. They need more and larger restroom facilities. THey are not clean. When you walk into them it smells like you are entering a sewage treatment plant. Nasty toilets and urine smell abounds. You can buy beer. But only up to 4 o clock. SO if you waited all day for the sun to go down to sit and enjoy a beer forget it. You need your drivers license to buy a beer. IF you get a flash pass you have to leave an ID. You can leave your season pass card but then you miss out on any season pass card discounts. Leave your drivers license then no beer. So which do you do ?? I am sure the midway type game booths bring in the money. But they are so annoying. At a carnival you expect it but here it can be annoying. The sound system is turned up sooooooo loud when you walk by your ears hurt from the teenage kids yelling into their microphones. Did I mention how damn loud the sound is turned up ? Cant the park turn down the volume ? It is already loud enough in the park. I personally walk as fast as I can to get away from the screaming kids that run the games. The rides are a great draw but these are things the park could really improve on to make it a great day. Maybe they can't since they are in bankruptcy.
 
 
 
 
 
Needs a little more work.
By Joseph, 05/21/09
Six Flags is great! It is home to the world's first tubular roller coaster, log flume ride and many more. The up keep in the park could use a littlemore work even though it is fine. If they went over the park with a fine tooth comb and repainted and did a fabulous landscape job this park would be world class. After all they are about 50 years old. If you go to Disneyland the park looks brand new and fresh. This is what this park needs to look like....fresh and new. The shows are great and the park is conviently placed inbetween Forth Worth and Dallas which makes getting their very easy. If the park were to make bettre use of the air condidoined theatres that would be fantastic. I went a few days ago and saw that they were not using the Majestic Theatre only to be playing a video inside again a golden opprotunity passed. This park is great and I love going a season pass is well worth it if you plan on going a few times in the summer. So to recap this article Six Flags needs to invest in more theming, paint and attention to detail instead of spending $10 million dollars to renovate The Texas Giant they need to sink that investment elsewhere in the aprk and this would be a world class park to visit. And a little fun fact This is the first Six Flags and was modled after Disneyland.

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/24/09
Lines for rides were 60 - 90 min. No drinking fountains anywhere. Machines would not take new $5 bill. Had to wait in line 40 min to buy 4 drinks for $17, and they were out of Coke. Employees were rude and not knowledgeable on advertised specials or discounts. My son stepped in gum a few feet from 3 sweepers talking together. Park entry seems reasonable but everything inside the park is waaaay over priced. I've been to tons of amusement parks and this is the very worst one ever!!!

Overpriced Meals but great Value
By Aceschef, 02/10/09
Well as the Headline states..... Overpriced meals..... You Must have a Refillable Cup.... Also you have to Figure out which stands offer the Discount and which ones do not..... Johnny Rocket's food was not that great.... Shows where great.... Rides wherere Great Flass Pass would be the same if it's a couple of people then it's great overpriced but worth it

MAP LEFT SHOW HOUSES UN NUMBERED
By W F 76, 06/29/08
I WOULD HAVE LIKE TO MADE ALL THE SHOWS BUT COULD NOT FIND THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NUMBERED ON THE MAP. WE COULD NOT GIVE OUR GKIDS DIRECTIONS TO WHERE WE WERE BECAUSE OF IT AND THE FLAG AREAS AND ENTRANCES ARE NOT MARKED GOOD. WE FOUND THIS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM IN TRYING TO FIND THE SHOWS. WHY DID YOU QUITE PUTTING NUMBERS ON THE MAP FOR SHOW HOUSE, LIKE YOU USE TO SEVERAL YEARS AGO. WE WERE NOT HAPPY VISITORS. WE DID GET TO SEE "THE HOW Cirque Dreams Coobrila - a Cirque de Soleil style show" IT WAS REALLY GREAT.

Get coupons! And have lots of patients!
By LG, 06/16/08
Great rides! Watch those tricky soda machines I do not know if this happens all the time,but when we were there.The soda/water machine reads 1.00 and then you put your dollar in and it and says 3.50 and would not give us our money back! My husband thought that was pretty lame! And for the price of 3 hotdogs and 2 drinks we could have all had Steak! And bring your patients with you because you are going to be in line awhile! Hurricane Harbor Is AweSoMe!

So FUN!
By Kathy, 06/01/08
Loved the FAMILY atmosphere. The park itself was well kept up and clean. Even the bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. There was plenty for our kids to do and the misting fans located throughout the park make for a cool, pleasant relief to the heat. Our kids enjoyed the rides and the sites and we enjoyed the expanse of FAMILY rides.

Plan on Walking Alot !!!
By Brian, 03/18/08
Very crowded... You need to plan on waiting in lines for 30 to 45 minutes for a 2 minute ride. Park employees were friendly and the park was very clean. We did feel safe.Lots of places to eat. You will definately walk alot at the park. There isn't no short cuts to get anywhere at the park. The kids got tired of waiting in the long lines for the rides but they enjoyed playing the games and winning the prizes.
