Six Flags In Texas Closing! Wow!

Rollercoaster fans would want to ge their fill of the Texas Giant this year because the wooden behemoth at Six Flags Over Texas will be closed during the 2010 season.

Park officials announced today that the rollercoaster will get a $10 million renovation to make it faster and smoother. It will reopen in 2011 for the park’s 50th anniversary season.

Sharon Parker, a Six Flags spokeswoman, said the coaster should be open through Fright Fest, the park’s Halloween season. She said the Texas Giant is usually closed for Holiday in the Park, which runs from late November through early January.
