| | | Pictures of Six Flags Fiesta Texas This was more than a month ago, but I went to the my two home parks in late June on a Tuesday and took my camera with me to take pictures to show on here.
As always, I did a double header going to Fiesta Texas in the late morning/early afternoon and Sea World in the late afternoon/early evening. But because my batteries ran out on me before I headed to Sea World, I wasn't able to take pictures there. But in an earlier visit to Sea World, I did take pictures of the Journey To Atlantis ride you can find here.
Leading off the e-tour, we start with our first batch of pics leading up to the park: 
Overhead sign indicating to exit to get to the park. 
Parking checkpoint. 
A distant look at the park and skyline from the parking lot. 
This is the park entrance area. 
A shot of the tallest ride at the park from the parking lot.

| | | Crackaxle Canyon (part one) Here is my first ride of the day shown immediately below: 
This is a shot looking straight ahead from a point on the queue line.
Looking from the ride's exit queue, you can see the station for Roadrunner Express:
The same spot on the exit looking left, you can get a clear look at the neighboring Ratter ride (once the tallest and fastest wooden coaster in the world upon opening in 1992). Speaking of which.... 
A look at the first hill of the Rattler. 
A general look at Crackaxle Canyon. The season pass processing center is to the left. 
The Whistle Stop train station just ahead. 
The Wagon Wheel 
A closer look at the Rattler's first hill.

| | | Crackaxle Canyon (part two) This is the largest section of the park, so there were a lot of pictures to take. 
Looking ahead at the Whistle Stop train station. 
Gully Washers -- The park's river rapids ride. 
A view of more waterfalls. This is where the Lone Star Spectacular parkwide laser/pyro show is held every night.
The next two pics below is your's truly standing in front of the falls: 
And yes, I was wearing a Sea World t-shirt, where I went to for the second-half of my day.
And that's that for Crackaxle Canyon. Moving on to the next section of the park.

| | | Wow, the theming at Fiesta Texas looks pretty good. The boardwalk section is done really well. I like the "popeye looking" theme on the ship.

A shot of the lift hill from the exit queue. 
A shot of the 168-ft. first drop. 
The first two elements of the coaster, including a statue of Superman standing on top of the vertical loop.

| | | I really loved the pictures of Superman Krypton Coaster. IMO, it has one of the coolest drops on any coaster. Again, nice pictures! |
