Six Flags Over Texas is opening two new rides in Bugs Bunny Boomtown.

“Family is at the heart of what we do here at Six Flags Over Texas,” says Six Flags Over Texas President Richard Douaihy. “These rides will allow every member of a family, regardless of their age, to enjoy first-class fun and thrills.”

Arlington Six Flags park fit for the ‘junior thrill seekers’

Daffy Duck Bucket Blasters and Sylvester and Tweety Pounce and Bounce are the two new rides that fit any age level. Bugs Bunny Boomtown is the park’s family-friendly region for the “junior thrill seekers.”

Six Flags Over Texas is the thrill capital of Texas and regarded as one of the six scariest theme parks in the U.S. It is the flagship location of all Six Flags and has been open since 1961. The park is 212 acres with 100 attractions and 14 world-class roller coasters.

“The opening of these two new rides in Bugs Bunny Boomtown is our way of celebrating its 10-year anniversary and an early birthday for Bugs Bunny himself,” said SFOT in a press release.

Six Flags Over Texas new rides

Daffy Duck Bucket Blaster is a water ride that has been at the park before its removal in 2021. The ride has six buckets, with four seats each, each equipped with water blasters for passengers to spray each other. Riders must be 36 inches to ride. If under 48 inches, Riders must be accompanied by a rider over 54 inches.

Sylvester and Tweety Pounce and Bounce is a new ride with a 41-foot tower. Passengers will experience thrilling bouncing and drops, not too fast for youngsters. Riders must be at least 42 inches tall to ride.
