SIX FLAGS FIESTA TEXAS RELEASES WEREWOLF GORGE, The World’s Longest Family Launch Roller Coaster | News
Six Flags Fiesta Texas today announced Werewolf Gorge, a one-of-a-kind family launch roller coaster that delivers record-breaking thrills, compelling storytelling and a dynamic, multi-generational experience unlike anything else in the world.
Combining a unique blend of ride elements not found at a single attraction – including four launches, a mid-course rollback and a height requirement of 39 inches – Werewolf Gorge represents a true industry first and sets a new benchmark for thrill rides for the whole family.
Werewolf Gorge is poised to become the world’s longest family launch coaster and the longest roller coaster in park history. Stretching over an impressive 4,000 feet, Werewolf Gorge offers a thrilling two-minute, 36-second adventure, with four launches, speeds of up to 45 mph and the highest number of floater airtime elements ever incorporated into a family roller coaster. Manufactured by Vekoma, the coaster combines a unique blend of launches and airtime to create a standout experience in the family thrill category.
The new attraction combines high-energy excitement with broad rider appeal and highlights Six Flags Fiesta Texas’ continued investment in innovative experiences that families can enjoy together.
“This is a defining addition to Six Flags Fiesta Texas,” said Robert Bustle, park manager at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. “Werewolf Gorge brings together storytelling, innovation and a bold combination of ride elements that truly set it apart. It delivers an experience that is accessible to families, yet unparalleled anywhere in the world.”
A STORY-DRIVEN EXCITING EXPERIENCE
Werewolf Gorge places guests at the center of a mysterious Texas quarry, steeped in legend and inspired by the park’s real-life quarry environment. What starts as a guided tour aboard a rugged mine train quickly turns into a high-speed escape through winding terrain as riders encounter an ancient werewolf curse.
Throughout the experience, riders will navigate:
Four launches propel the train through quarry walls and dense pine forests
A drop of 12 meters and a height difference of 25 meters are integrated into the terrain-controlled layout
32 floating transmission moments, for a dynamic and weightless driving experience
Near-miss moments with towering werewolf figures and compelling scenic elements
A climactic finale through a crumbling quarry structure full of shadowy movements and glowing eyes
The attraction features a fully realized environment that extends beyond the ride itself, immersing guests from arrival to departure. As part of Jasper Bunyan’s roadside attraction, guests can experience themed queues including the Museum of Cryptids and the Werewolf Museum, adding depth, humor and world-building to the overall experience.
EXPANDING FAMILY TENSION IN SAN ANTONIO
With its focus on accessible, high-capacity thrills, Werewolf Gorge continues the park’s strategic investment in family attractions and adds a new signature roller coaster to its award-winning lineup.
The ride also introduces a new story world surrounding Jasper Bunyan, an eccentric entrepreneur who transformed a forgotten quarry into a roadside attraction full of cryptic knowledge, interactive exhibits and unexpected danger lurking beneath the surface.
A LEGEND REVEALED
Six Flags Fiesta Texas has been teasing the arrival of Werewolf Gorge since 2025 with cryptic full moon activations throughout the park. The attraction was officially unveiled during a special evening presentation on May 30, deliberately timed under a rare blue full moon to tie in with the attraction’s supernatural theme.
Guests experienced an energetic production inspired by the ride’s storyline, culminating in a dramatic reveal that brought the legend to life. As guests left the presentation, the overhead experience continued with a choreographed drone display in the shape of the new attraction’s logo, providing a memorable finale to the announcement event.
SOON
Werewolf Gorge will debut at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 2027 as part of the park’s 35th anniversary season. The best way to experience Werewolf Gorge – along with everything Six Flags Fiesta Texas has to offer – is with a Gold Season Pass or membership, which provides access to multiple parks in the region, including Schlitterbahn New Braunfels, home of the new Wasserbahn Racers, and Six Flags Over Texas, where the record-breaking Tormenta Rampaging Run will debut. A limited-time Memorial Day sale has been extended through June 7. For more information, visit sixflags.com/fiestatexas.
