Six Flags Over Texas is the original Six Flags theme park, and it sits inside the Arlington Entertainment District alongside Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium. If you are visiting for the 2026 international soccer tournament and have a day between matches, a trip to Six Flags is one of the best ways to spend it, especially if you are traveling with kids.
Six Flags Over Texas is home to 15 roller coasters and nearly 20 adrenaline-pumping rides. The park’s newest addition for 2026 is The Tormenta, a record-breaking dive coaster that towers 309 feet tall and reaches speeds of 87 miles per hour. The coaster features a 95-degree beyond-vertical drop from 285 feet, making it one of the most thrilling rides in Texas.
Titan is the park’s massive hypercoaster, plunging riders down a 225-foot drop through two intense 540-degree spirals at speeds up to 85 miles per hour. New Texas Giant combines the classic feel of a wooden coaster with smooth steel track technology for steep drops and fast turns.
DC Comics fans can test their courage on villain-themed rides throughout the park. CATWOMAN Whip sends riders spinning through a towering loop with their feet dangling. HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity and THE JOKER deliver intense spins, flips and airtime. THE RIDDLER Revenge swings riders on a massive rotating pendulum reaching 147 feet in the air.
Young visitors have their own dedicated area in Bugs Bunny Boomtown, where rides are designed for children to enjoy on their own while parents take a break and watch. Looney Tunes Adventure Camp is a multi-level play structure for crawling, climbing and sliding. Daffy Duck Bucket Blasters puts families in rotating buckets equipped with water guns for a refreshing break on a hot day.
Wile E. Coyote’s Grand Canyon Blaster is a first-taste roller coaster measured to the right height and speed for children. It is a good introduction before working up to the bigger rides.
Six Flags Over Texas covers 212 acres and has over a dozen dining options spread throughout the park. Bubba’s Texas Giant Hot Dogs serves oversized hot dogs and giant turkey legs. JB’s Smokehouse Barbeque dishes up brisket and beer in the Old South-themed section of the park. Johnny Rockets has burgers and fries if you want something familiar. Snack stands and beverage kiosks are everywhere in between.
Six Flags Over Texas sits inside the Arlington Entertainment District. Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium are both within a short drive, and the park’s entrance is accessible from the same road network that connects all three venues. You can easily pair a day at Six Flags with a Texas Rangers game the same evening.
Get tickets to see the Rangers in 2026 and build a full day: Six Flags in the morning and afternoon, then walk the Entertainment District and head into Globe Life Field for a night game. The ballpark has a retractable roof and air conditioning, so you can cool down after a day in the sun.
The Texas summer heat is the biggest factor for a day at Six Flags. June and July temperatures in the DFW area regularly reach 93 to 98 degrees Fahrenheit (34 to 37 degrees Celsius), with many days exceeding 100 degrees. Wear sunscreen, carry water and take breaks in shaded areas between rides.
Arrive when the park opens to get the most popular rides in before the afternoon heat peaks. The park tends to be less crowded on weekdays, which lines up well with a midweek rest day between tournament matches.
