Six Flags Riders Walk Down Rollercoaster After Power Outage

A power outage at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington left riders stranded on several rides, including the Titan rollercoaster, forcing them to walk down the steep tracks. Video footage shows patrons descending the 245-foot-tall ride in single file, gripping the railing as wind blows around them.

The outage occurred on Saturday when an external construction crew struck an underground power line, a Six Flags spokesperson confirmed. All guests were safely escorted off rides and given complimentary tickets for a return visit. It took approximately two hours to fully restore power, with many rides reopening later that day.

The park resumed normal operations on Sunday and is set to begin daily operations on Thursday, May 21, continuing its 65th anniversary celebrations. This year, Six Flags Over Texas will debut the Tormenta Rampaging Run, described as the tallest, fastest and longest giga dive coaster in the world, standing over 300 feet high with a 95-degree drop.
