Visitors at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington were forced to walk down the steep drop of the Titan rollercoaster after a power outage struck the park on Saturday. The outage occurred when an external construction crew made contact with an underground power line, according to a Six Flags spokesperson.
Video footage showed riders descending the 245-foot-tall coaster in single file, gripping the railing as wind blew around them. The Titan, described by Six Flags as “Texas’ sky-touching coaster,” was one of several rides affected by the outage.
A Six Flags spokesperson confirmed that all parkgoers were safely escorted off rides and attractions and received complimentary tickets for a return visit. It took approximately two hours to fully resume operations, with many rides reopening later that day.
The park resumed normal operations on Sunday and opened as scheduled. Six Flags Over Texas, the original Six Flags location, is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year and plans to debut a new ride, the Tormenta Rampaging Run, later in 2025. The new coaster is described as the “tallest, fastest and longest giga dive coaster in the world,” standing over 300 feet high with a 95-degree drop.
