Brief updates and happenings around Six Flags over Texas

Six Flags Over Texas celebrated its official 65th anniversary today with a small ceremony. The park originally opened on August 5, 1961 and has been thrilling guests from around the world ever since.

Christmas in July Sale

Six Flags Over Texas is having a Christmas in July ticket sale, allowing guests to buy a single-day SFOT ticket for $39 or a 2-day, 2-park ticket for SFOT/Hurricane Harbor for $50. Tickets can be purchased online from the official site until July 31 and the tickets can be used until September 7, 2026 (Labor Day).

Tormenta Opens to the Public

Tormenta Rampaging Run has finally opened to the masses as of this morning with the public grand opening ceremony. This massive new signature ride represents renewed investment in the original Six Flags park.

Tormenta Soft Opening

The park is currently letting season passholders and members ride Tormenta Rampaging Run as part of “technical rehearsals” according to signs at the front of the park today (July 3). The signs emphasize the ride may operate intermittently, so riders shouldn’t necessarily expect a guaranteed ride. The official public grand opening remains to be July 9.

New Tormenta Opening Date Announced

After a brief setback, the much-anticipated Tormenta Rampaging Run is once again set to open to the public on Thursday, July 9, 2026. Are you ready to tame the bull?
