Configuration Changes

Thunder Beach Speedway, located on Fiesta Bay Boardwalk, was a high-thrill go-carts attraction. Guests were able to control their own motorized vehicle through the duration of the ride with the main goal of finishing ahead of the pack. Some carts featured both a driver and passenger seat while others are only single-seat vehicles.

In 2016, Fiesta Texas added the Fireball attraction to Fiesta Bay Boardwalk. In order to make the ride fit, Thunder Beach Speedway’s track was slightly modified and shortened as the corner of Fireball’s layout cuts into the layout. Added in 2018, Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster’s queue line also sits on land once occupied by Thunder Beach Speedway’s original track layout.

Thunder Beach Speedway was located in the park’s Fiesta Bay Boardwalk section.

Riders were able to control their own go carts on Thunder Beach Speeday.
