What a bad day for The Texas Giant and Six Flags over Texas. Railroad did not finish the night, and neither did Mr Freeze. The Texas Giant was plagued with technical problems through out the day, and didn’t open again until 9:15 PM. Many guest were disappointed that they were not able to have closure with one final ride. For the rest of us, This is just another testament to her defiance until the end. She will not go quietly into the night.

Helicopters from every local network hovered over Six Flags over Texas for almost two hours on Friday. Shooting enough video for a well deserved seven minute final tribute on the ten o clock news.

This lonely banner above the station is the only reminder of the pending fate of ride once called “Americas coaster”.

Life in the park continues…. Stay tuned.

In just a few hours we will be departing for Six Flags over Texas. The next three days will be spent along side a good friend of ours, The Legendary Texas Giant. This weekend is sure to be an emotional one for everyone involved. Stay tuned to TPI, we will be updating the site with pictures and video of the days events for those who can’t attend.

There are just two weeks remaining until the final train rolls out of the station of the legendary Texas Giant. Over the last nineteen years, many of us here at TPI have had the privilege of working on this great ride. We are saddened by the replacement of this Texas icon.
