Texas Star Flyer is a Funtime Star Flyer operating at Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier.
[1][2] The ride was installed by Ride Entertainment Group, who handles all of Funtime's operations in North America.
[3][4] The ride is a Swing ride where riders soar in a 98-foot (30 m) circle at speeds over 43 miles per hour (69 km/h) up on a 230-foot (70 m) tall tower overlooking the park and the Gulf of Mexico, while going forwards and or backwards.
[1][5] First pieces of Texas Star Flyer arrived at the pier in the middle of January 2012.
[6] Texas Star Flyer is similar to SkyScreamer that is found at several other Six Flags parks including Six Flags Fiesta Texas found in the same state of Texas.
