Poltergeist reopened to Fiesta Texas guests on September 3. The refreshed attraction features a new paint job, entrance, outdoor queue and an enhanced indoor queue and station. Join us for a virtual tour of this enhanced ride experience!

Entry & Outdoor Queue

Six Flags Fiesta Texas has refreshed the entry portal to Poltergeist, which now features haunting gargoyles, updated ride logo and nighttime lighting package. The outdoor queue also features new structures, such as striking statues and a classic vehicle. During the day, Fiesta Texas had specialized characters also roaming around the queue area.

Indoor Queue, Station & Nighttime Lighting

Poltergeist now also features an indoor queue. This new, spooky area includes a staircase to nowhere, haunting decor and portraits and more. The station has also been further enclosed, along with the attraction’s trains being refreshed with new paint and graphics. Finally, the ride structure itself is lit green to further enhance its new paint job.
