10 New Family Rides; Largest Expansion in Park History



ARLINGTON, Texas, April 26  /PRNewswire/ -- There's an old saying around these parts that "everything in Texas is bigger" and the state's premier entertainment attraction, Six Flags Over Texas, is living up to those words. In honor of its 45th Anniversary, the park is rolling out the largest expansion project in its history ... 10 new family attractions!  Opening to the public on April 29, these attractions are positioned in different locations throughout the park, giving Guests of all ages new and exciting park experiences.

"All the feedback we receive from our Guests tells us they are interested in great, fun activities they can do together, as a family," said Steve Calloway, vice president and general manager of Six Flags Over Texas.  "We're taking that feedback to heart, and this year Six Flags Over Texas is the place to be with the entire family.  With a selection of 10 new attractions, we're broadening our appeal across the board -- adding new thrills for kids and parents alike.  With so much to see and do in the park this year, our Guests will want to come back again and again!"

The combination of the 45th Anniversary celebration and the opening of these exciting new rides truly makes this a milestone year for the park. Six Flags Over Texas has always focused on providing an incredible spectrum of entertainment for its guests, whether it's thrills and coasters, games, parades, or other special events, and the addition of these great new attractions reaffirms the park's commitment to its core audience -- America's families who have come to Six Flags Over Texas over the past 45 years to have fun together and to create lasting memories.

Joining the ever-growing Six Flags Over Texas entertainment lineup will be:

   *  Batwing -- Spread your wings and fly as nine planes zip around the
      oval-shaped course.  Each plane can accommodate up to four children or
      one adult and two children.
   *  La Fiesta de las Tazas -- Spin around super fast or slow it down to
      savor the experience. This family favorite will leave Guests spinning
      with excitement.
   *  ACME Rock-N-Rocket -- Go into orbit as the rocket and its 50
      passengers make several exhilarating 360-degree loops before swinging
      back earthward to a gentle stop.
   *  Rodeo -- Cowboys and cowgirls alike can test their riding skills on
      these bucking bulls.  Saddle up!
