For more than 45 years, Six Flags has given children and adults the freedom to discover captivating settings and thrilling adventures. Its legacy began with a single property in Texas and grew to transform the way families vacation. Six Flags is the world's largest and most diverse regional theme park company delivering fun-filled experiences to visitors at 28 parks.
Six Flags' unique form of entertainment was born in the imagination of Angus Wynne, the father of the modern-day theme park. Mr. Wynne set out to create a destination that would capture the excitement and wonder of the imagination. With Angus' vision and the support of the Texas community, Six Flags Over Texas opened in 1961.
The first Six Flags park took its name from the six countries whose flags had flown over Texas throughout the state's extraordinary history. Six Flags Over Texas featured six sections reflecting the spirited cultures of those nations - and offered guests a vibrant experience straight out of their dreams.
Mr. Wynne envisioned theme parks of a grand scale - bigger than Disneyland - located in different regions across the country, making them convenient and affordable to families everywhere. Today, Six Flags has made his dream a reality. Six Flags' fun, family environments comprise innovative rides and exciting attractions including live shows, cutting-edge thrill rides, games, kid friendly play areas, land animals, marine mammals, concerts, and special events.
