The vibrant colors of the ride along with the Fiesta Texas signage make it visible to guests approaching from the intersection of Loop 1604 and Interstate 10.

Based on the competition, the development team believed the opportunity in San Antonio (an established regional leisure destination) was there and that the stable, slow growth direction of the theme park industry in the U.S. was in their favor.

FORREC handed over a detailed design of the project to San Antonio-based architecture and engineering groups: Benham/Jones Kell and Pape Dawson.

[6] Time Warner took over management and operations of Fiesta Texas in 1996 and added the Six Flags name to the park, while USAA remained as the sole owner.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas added its third roller coaster, a Vekoma Hurricane named The Joker's Revenge, which opened to the general public on May 10 of the same year.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas had to rename and retheme seven rides as well as the kids theme area from Wiggles World to Kidzopolis, all in time for the 2011 season.

[14][15] A day before the park's 28th anniversary (March 13, 2020), Six Flags suspended all operations across all its properties due to concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic.

[18][19] On July 28, 2021, plans were announced for the park's 30th-anniversary celebration in 2022 which will begin with a New Year's Eve Kickoff Event.

It was one of the original themed sections when the park opened in 1992 and is dedicated to the rich Hispanic culture that is integral to San Antonio.

Among the first things upon entering Los Festivales from the front gate is Chupacabra, a Bolliger & Mabillard inverted roller coaster, which dominates the visible skyline.

Los Festivales is home to two theater venues, the Teatro Fiesta and the Zaragoza Theatre.

The area also includes the Whistle Stop train station for the Fiesta Texas Railroad and Dare Devil Dive Flying Machines, a 48-foot-tall Super Air Race ride by Zamperla.

The outdoor venue is known for Mayor Slayer's Monster Mash Bash, a show during Fright Fest, and a host site to watch the end-of-the-day fireworks during the summer months.

Crackaxle Canyon features several eateries: Bubba's River Cafe and Old Blue's BBQ, which offer indoor and outdoor seating.

This DC universe expansion replaced the old Kidzopolis kids' area, which also included the Funtime Star Flyer, Supergirl Sky Flight.

The village is home to Bugs' White Water Rapids, a Hopkins Rides log flume.

The newest attraction, Thunder Rapids Water Coaster, opened in 2017 as the world's tallest, longest and fastest ProSlide RocketBlast waterslide.

[32][33][34] The park's halloween show, Mayer Slayer's Monster Mash Bash, was one of three finalists in 2015 for Best Overall Production (budget $100,000 - $200,000).

[35] Six Flags Fiesta Texas hosts a number of events for different holidays all throughout the operating season that often draws thousands of visitors to the park.
