Former roller coasters

[edit]

Six Flags Over Texas has removed three roller coasters in their history. Cucaracha was originally called Sidewinder, located in USA section for first season, and was renamed when it was moved to the Mexico section in 1962. Big Bend was installed in 1971, in the USA section but was removed after 1979 when it was relocated to Six Flags St. Louis. However, the coaster never operated there and was scrapped. The most recent removed coaster was Flashback, which had been located in Goodtimes Square. This coaster was also relocated to Six Flags St. Louis, but unlike the previous coaster, it was rebuilt and is currently operating there.
