Six Flags Over Texas
The first Six Flags amusement park, Six Flags Over Texas, was built in Arlington, Texas, in 1961. The park's first season was a success with over 500,000 visitors, and since then, they've added many more attractions. Now, Six Flags Over Texas has placed more emphasis on families by offering a daily parade, Brunch with Bugs (and more characters), and more. In 2007, they debuted a high energy cirque acrobatic type show called "Cirque Dreams Coobrila". With roller coasters, concerts, performances, parades, and other fun events, Six Flags Over Texas is fun for everyone!
