Six Flags Fiesta Texas, San Antonio, Texas

As we end our first day at the park a little side note. I love rocking chairs at parks. They need to be everywhere because sitting on down and rocking back and forth while hanging with your friends just adds to the relaxing experience of a day at a park. With the Fiesta bay Boardwalk being revitalized for this year Jeffery Siebert and the rest of his marketing staff spent their winter building all of these chairs as they rightly thought that a Boardwalk needed some rocking chairs.

Speaking of Jeff here he is bright and early for day two of Fiesta Fest with a bag full of goodies for those who could answer trivia questions throughout the day.

Jeff has always been a huge friend of the coaster enthusiast community and especially of the American Coaster Enthusiasts since his days years ago at Kings Island, Schlitterbahn and now at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Back during Fiesta Fest he was just the parks Marketing Manager but just recently he was named the Park President of Six Flags Fiesta Texas and I can't think of anyone else I want to see running a park. He loves his park, the guests and his work and he deserves all of the good things that come his way. Loving coasters as he does I hold out hope that eventually he will move up into running all of Six Flags.

The Poltergeist Rollercoaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, San Antonio, Texas

Starting out day two of Fiesta Fest was a walk back to Poltergeist for the first ride of the day.

In 1999 Six Flags purchased two of the Premiere Rides launched coasters. One of them ended up at Six Flags America as Joker's Jinx and the other ended up at Six Flags Fiesta Texas as Poltergeist.

Poltergeist launches you out of the station from zero to sixty miles per hour in a few seconds into a giant spaghetti bowl tangle of track. Poltergeist flips you upside down four times and leaves you pretty disoriented as tangled as it is.
