Park News - (11/14/11) Good news for Texas Giant fans this winter. One of our readers wrote Six Flags to express their disappointment with the closing of Texas Giant for Holiday In The Park and sent back the message they got back.
    ”Thank you for contacting Six Flags Over Texas. Please accept our apologies for this confusion. The Texas Giant will be open during Holiday in the Park, as it is was never our intention to have it closed. Our web team has been notified; and, hopefully, the website will be corrected as soon as possible.”
    (11/11/11) Bad news for anyone hoping to get in some cool Texas Giant ride time during this year’s Holiday In The Park event. According to the website, Texas Giant will NOT be open this winter.

2012 - New Shows - (1/30/12) A short updates has been sent in regarding the park’s entertainment lineup for 2012. The Looney Tunes Dance off will be at the Lone Star Theater, and a new show called Heart of Texas will premier in the Crazy Horse Saloon. The Majestic Theater will get a show by the name of Aga-Boom, which seems to be some kind of slapstick comedy clown show.
    I’ve also been told that iLluminate may also come to the Southern Palace, similar to the show coming to Six Flags over Georgia, by the designed by the performance group that was seen on America’s Got Talent. The show is said to run from June 9th through Aug. 12th. You can see a video of one of the group’s performances below.

    (1/23/12) The official SFOT website now reports that the park will add two new shows for the 2012 season. Unfortunately they do not go into detail about either one of them.
    (1/9/12) It sounds like the Entertainment lineup at Six Flags over Texas may be in flux, as many plans are apparently not entirely set in stone. The latest word is that the Looney Tunes Dance Off show will likely go into the Lonestar Theater. Crazy Horse Saloon may add a new unknown show and Illuminate may go into the Southern Palace Theater. The Majestic Theater may become home to some kind of show involving Cirque du Soleil style clown characters, but this is not certain either apparently. More when we find out.
    (11/15/11) I’ve been sent a few rumors about changes to the entertainment lineup expected for the 2012 season. From what I’ve been told the Looney Tunes Dance Off show will move to the Lonestar Theater, and the Majestic Theater will add some kind of new show with performing dogs. The Southern Palace will retire the Chart Toppers show and replace it with a Cirque du Soleil style performance show.
    (9/2/11) Jim Reid-Anderson confirmed that some new shows were in the works for Six Flags over Texas that will include “an exciting new live production” as well as the return of many popular shows from the past.

2012 - Dive Bomber at Hurricane Harbor - (1/16/12) Six Flags has confirmed that Hurricane Harbor Texas will open Dive Bomber in 2012, a new 5-story freefall experience. I believe Dive Bomber was the name used for one pair of drop capsule slides added to Hurricane Harbor at SFGAm. If you look at this picture, I believe the Dive Bomber slides were the enclosed tube slides with the helix spiral just before the splash-down. (The other pair was Mega-Wedgie I think…)
