As the oldest theater in the park, the Crazy Horse Saloon has entertained guests in the Texas section since Six Flags Over Texas' opening season in 1961. The entertainment venue would typically feature shows with a large cast of singing and dancing cowboys and saloon girls in a small, cozy setting.

The Crazy Horse Saloon endured a long drought of live entertainment after 2019 with the park instead using it as a VIP lounge or general bar and seating area during various events. Live performances returned to Crazy Horse Saloon starting with variety acts at 2024's Fright Fest, and the venue has consistently featured live performances since, with the park's renewed focus on entertainment.
