Roller Coaster

Remember these? Once-thrilling Texas amusement parks that have since closed but left lasting memories.

In 2026, Texas welcomes COTALAND with a 130-ft tilt coaster plus Palindrome, joining new coaster additions at SeaWorld and Six Flags.

The Conquistador ride has officially closed at Six Flags Over Texas to make way for a record-setting dive coaster opening in 2026.

ZDT’s Amusement Park in Seguin, Texas, is closing its gates for good August 17. The 18-year-old park is home to Switchback, the only wooden shuttle coaster in the U.S.

There's a video making the rounds of an old woman riding her first roller coaster. And she can't stop laughing because she LOVES it so much. It's part of a marketing campaign called "Firsts" for the British cell phone carrier, Vodafone.

An Ohio couple decided the best way to kick off the thrill ride that is matrimony is to get hitched atop a roller coaster with their friends and family in the cars behind them. And since they had already strayed so far from a traditional ceremony, they decided they may as well also have an Elvis impersonator officiate their big day, too.
