Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington is set to welcome a new ride this season, along with the return of an old favorite, as well as other park enhancements.
Last month, The Dallas Express reported that Quorum Architects is listed as the design firm responsible for managing the new projects. The firm has worked with the amusement park for over a decade, designing rides, restaurants, and retail shops, according to the company’s website.
The new ride, “Sylvester’s Pounce and Bounce,” is a drop tower in the park’s Bugs Bunny World. It will allow riders “to leap and dive along with your favorite big cat, Sylvester,” according to the description on the Six Flags website. This child-friendly ride promises excitement but nothing too scary since it is intended “for the younger cats.”
“Take a seat and pounce with silly Sylvester all the way to the top of a 20-foot tall tower. But look out, Tweety’s waiting up there to konk Sylvester on the head and send the whole gang bouncing down in a wobbly, jiggly, bouncy ride.”
Expect water battles this season with the return of “Daffy Duck Bucket Blasters” in Bugs Bunny Boomtown. The ride that was first introduced in 2016 is finally back to help Texans cool off during the summer heat.
“Hold on tight because you’ll spin round and round in a giant water bucket, fully equipped with water guns! The fun doesn’t stop there, as riders are able to splash anyone within reach as they go on their twisting adventure,” reads the website. “There’s so much twisting and turning in these buckets, you’ll never know where the water will spray next!”
“Chaparral Antique Cars” is being reimagined into “Dino Off Road Adventure” this summer. Look out for new cars, a refreshed queue, and over a dozen animatronic dinosaurs along the iconic ride’s route.
“For 63 years, generations of guests have come to the park to have fun and experience thrills with their familis. We’re so pleased that these new attractions will offer our guests the opportunity to make even more memories with the people who matter most,” Richard Douaihy, park president, said in a statement, reported WFAA.
