Six Flags Fiesta Texas announced Werewolf Gorge, a family launch roller coaster that delivers thrills, immersive storytelling and a dynamic multi-generational experience by combining a mix of ride elements – including four launches, a mid-course rollback and a 39-inch height requirement.
Set to become the longest roller coaster in park history, Werewolf Gorge stretches an impressive 4,120 feet and delivers an exhilarating two-minute, 36-second adventure, featuring four launches, speeds up to 45 mph. Manufactured by Vekoma, the coaster brings together a unique blend of launches and airtime to create a standout experience in the family thrill category.
“This is a defining addition to Six Flags Fiesta Texas,” said Robert Bustle, park manager at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. “Werewolf Gorge brings together storytelling, innovation and a bold combination of ride elements that truly sets it apart. It delivers an experience that is approachable for families, yet unmatched anywhere in the world.”
A story-driven thrill experience
Werewolf Gorge places guests at the center of a mysterious Texas quarry steeped in legend and inspired by the park’s real quarry setting. What begins as a guided tour aboard a rugged mining train quickly transforms into a high-speed escape through twisting terrain as riders encounter a centuries-old werewolf curse.
Throughout the experience, riders will navigate:
- Four launches that propel the train through quarry walls and dense pine groves
- A 40-foot drop and 85-foot elevation change integrated into the terrain-driven layout
- 32 floater airtime moments, delivering a dynamic and weightless ride experience
- Near-miss moments with towering werewolf figures and immersive scenic elements
- A climactic finale through a crumbling quarry structure filled with shadowy movement and glowing eyes
The attraction features a fully realized environment that extends beyond the ride itself, immersing guests from arrival to exit. The ride introduces a new story world centered around Jasper Bunyan, an eccentric entrepreneur who transformed a forgotten quarry into a roadside attraction filled with cryptid lore, interactive exhibits and unexpected danger lurking beneath the surface. As part of Jasper Bunyan’s roadside attraction, guests will experience themed queue spaces including the Museum of Cryptids and Werewolf Museum, adding depth, humor and world-building to the overall experience.
A legend revealed
The attraction was officially revealed during a special evening presentation on May 30, intentionally timed under a rare blue full moon to align with the attraction’s supernatural theme.
Guests experienced a high-energy production inspired by the ride’s storyline, culminating in a dramatic unveiling that brought the legend to life. As guests exited the presentation, the experience continued overhead with a choreographed drone display forming the shape of the new attraction’s logo, delivering a memorable finale to the announcement event. Werewolf Gorge will debut at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 2027 as part of the park’s 35th anniversary season.
