Our most recent visit to Six Flags Over Texas, which was meant to cover the Oktoberfest Food Festival, Kids Boo Fest and additional Fright Fest activities, was cut short when we were denied access due to our camera. We've brought this camera into the park several times, including just two nights before, to cover the park as it doesn't violate any posted rules. Nobody from Six Flags was equipped to provide us with documentation regarding what their actual camera policy is.

The merger between Six Flags and Cedar Fair took place just over two months ago and we've seen lots of changes so far, including Cedar Fair management taking over operations, updated season pass structures and new job postings for high-level positions at select parks. After visiting most Cedar Fair legacy parks over the last five years, it is clear that many crucial improvements can come to Six Flags Over Texas without the investment of multi-million dollar rides and attractions. Heres's our wish list of the top three changes we'd like to see implemented to the park.
