Dr. Diabolical’s Laboratory

Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger takes riders on a themed journey though the lab and experimentations of Dr. Diabolical herself. The first portion of the queue, which is outside, gives guests an amazing view of the ride as it cycles overhead. The final stretch heads into Dr. Diabolical’s secret lab. Riders are told that they will be able to sample one of Dr. Diabolical’s newest creations, an elixir capable of preserving life. However, it is quickly realized that Dr. Diabolical has other sinister plans. The immersive queue features multiple rooms, detailed themed elements, animatronics and more.

Unique Ride Locker System

Prior to entering the ride’s station, guests have access to complimentary lockers for their smaller loose articles. Lockers can be utilized with your pass/ticket barcode and items are picked up at the attraction’s exit. Don’t have your physical pass/ticket handy? Paper barcode cards are available near the locker station.

Sundance Theatre

Six Flags Fiesta Texas originally opened in 1992 with a heavy emphasis on theatrical productions and live entertainment. The park built several state-of-the-art performance venues, including Sundance Theatre, to house their stellar offerings to guests. Sundance Theatre was home to several notable productions over the years, including Rock Apocalypse, Summer Nights and over two decades of award-winning country music entertainment. 2021 marked the final year of live entertainment at Sundance Theatre as it was demolished to make way for Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger.
