Written By Amusement Source

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.

Not much has visibly changed with Fiesta Texas’ 2027 mystery project. The area is mostly unchanged since the removal of Whirlpool and Big Bender water slides. However, several teasers have been posted, including new signage that leads to a clue-filled phone recording. Bubba’s River Cafe has officially closed to make way for a new restaurant concept this season.

Quick work has been made of Hurricane Harbor’s two slide removals, Big Bender and Whirlpool. Teasers have been posted in the park hinting at a replacement attraction for the area. Theming upgrades have resumed at Chupacabra with a permanent main entrance sign now in place.

Now that Fiesta Texas has opened up their DC Universe expansion, much of the focus shifts over to dining experiences. Pete’s Eats recently reopened with a kitchen and serving counter refresh to increase efficiency. The next phase of Sangerfest Halle’s refresh is moving forward. The food hall’s kitchen and serving area are undergoing a full refresh. Once complete, Sangerfest Halle will feature more seating, multiple refill locations and new menu offerings.
