Six Flags Fiesta Texas announces
new show package for 2011
Six Flags Fiesta Texas has announced plans for an ar-
ray of new shows lighting up the park as well as the Texas
nighttime sky for the 2011 season.
Fiesta Texas will present an entirely new Lone Star
Spectacular, the park’s popular outdoor laser/reworks
show, along with an impressive new production in the
Zaragoza Theater. Lone Star Spectacular is an annual chal-
lenger for Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Award in Best
Outdoor Night Show Production category.
The park is completely revamping the nighttime Lone
Star Spectacular with an all new storyline and technical en-
hancements. Since its debut in 1992, the show has wowed
millions with its combination of lasers, music and reworks
showcased on 100-foot-tall quarry walls.
“The Lone Star Spectacular is a longtime fan favorite,”
said Fiesta Texas President Martin Bozer. “The show was
cutting-edge when it rst opened in 1992 and with today’s
technological advancements we can create an even bigger,
bolder production that will still pay homage to our great
state of Texas.”
Also on tap for 2011 is a new show in the grand Zarago-
za Theater in Los Festivales. Full details will be announced
next spring. Finally, rounding out the roster of best-in-class
entertainment, 2011 marks the return of the Starburst Sum-
mer Concert Series, featuring a full slate of some of the
country’s hottest new artists.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas will continue to deliver award-
winning entertainment in the upcoming season including
new shows in the Spassburg, Crackaxle Canyon, Los Festi-
vales and Rockville areas.
The new season at Six Flags Fiesta Texas begins March
5, 2011.
