I went to Six Flags Over Texas for my first time last week. Here are my impressions:
Overall-
I really liked this one! It's definitely one of the better SF parks, but lacks some of the record-breaking thrills other parks are shoving in. Even in its 40th anniversary it's putting in a clone! I don't get that. However, the park was clean and it had an easy layout to follow.

Coasters:
TEXAS GIANT-
WOW WOW WOW! This is probably one of the best wooden coasters I've ever been on! The back is very rough, but I got alot of air time. The front is smooth and has a great view. Great ending!
**** 1/2
LA VIBORA-
A typical bobsled. The wait was way too long, though.
** 1/2
MINE TRAIN-
Surprise surprise! Definitely the best mine train I've ever been on. It's smooth and is a nice break from some of the bigger rides. I recommend the back seat!!
*** 1/2
MR.FREEZE-
Another great coaster! The launch is incredible, it's just awesome. Hold your head back, though, or you'll get a rough ride.
****
BATMAN-THE RIDE
Another clone. This one, however is yellow!
****
SHOCKWAVE-
This was everything I've heard about it and more. Awesome g-forces and airtime! A great coaster!
****
FLASHBACK-
A boomerang. This one was pretty rough.
** 1/2
JUDGE ROY SCREAM-
For its size, it really packs a punch! Ride in the back- it's airtime on every hill.
***
RUNAWAY MOUNTAIN-
This vekoma in-the-dark coaster is pretty awesome! It's probably the most fun ride in the park. Not one of the best- just the most fun.
*** 1/2
I did not ride the park's two kiddie coasters, CANYON BLASTER and MINI MINE TRAIN. The log flume isn't that special, but the coasters and that "Texas Tradition" are what makes this park stand out.
