Park Expansion
Boomerang was one of several additions during the park’s 1999 season. Ten new rides and attractions, which ultimately helped boost park attendance, were added to help enhance Fiesta Texas interest. Along with Boomerang, new additions included five children’s attractions in the Crackaxle Canyon, Rockville and Spassburg sections, Scream, Poltergeist and the Lone Star Lagoon and Texas Treehouse in the recently-named Armadillo Beach water park.

Previous Tenants

A Theme Park Staple
The Boomerang roller coaster layout is quite the popular attraction around the world. 52 of these exact models have been installed! A model of this roller coaster, Flashback! at Six Flags Over Texas, also existed in Texas from 1989 to 2012. Flashback!, however, was removed and constructed at Six Flags St. Louis under the Boomerang name. Boomerang has been considered the most popular ride of its kind in the Six Flags chain, according to Park President Jeffrey Siebert. Boomerang’s prime positioning near the front of the park makes it a centerpiece of interest to guests.
Boomerang received two new trains in 2023 to ensure continuous operation.
