SFOT’s 2026 Memorial Day Weekend took a pause Sunday as thunderstorms moved through Arlington, generating a blast of rainfall that flooded sections of the park per Social Media posts. Even the newly-renovated Southern Palace was not immune, with video showing water leaking in both front and back-of-house areas. The park is no stranger to flooding, with Johnson Creek typically being the culprit.

Six Flags has launched a new free Pre‑K Pass that gives kids ages 3–5 unlimited visits for the entire 2026 season, and Six Flags Over Texas is one of the participating parks. Families just need an active 2026 Silver, Gold, or Prestige Pass or Membership to register, then activate the child’s pass at the front gate by May 31 with proof of age. Each adult pass can register up to two Pre‑K kids, and children 2 and under already get in free. The offer runs April 22–May 31.
