Looks like we now know where the water slides from ZDT's Plaza are landing!

Our friends at Morgan's are keeping these beloved slides nearby at Morgan’s Wonderland, proving once again that accessibility belongs everywhere, even on waterslides.

We can’t wait to check out Tiki Twister and Treasure Tide this summer! ☀️

What better way to celebrate a Wednesday afternoon than a ride over Wonderland Amusement Park 🚡

A Texas Panhandle classic since 1951, Wonderland is celebrating 75 seasons of making memories, looking refreshed and ready to thrill a new generation.

Now that we’re over halfway to the weekend (and coasters), we might as well take the scenic route.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Six Flags Fiesta Texas for a fun day of rides, laughs and great company. It was especially great getting to spend the day alongside our friends from Melanin Coaster Network and bring even more enthusiasts together.

A big thank you to the Six Flags Fiesta Texas team for being such welcoming hosts and helping make the day run smoothly during the park’s lively Mardi Gras Festival.

And of course, thank you to all of our members who came out to ride, hang out and make the day memorable. Laissez les bons temps rouler… until the next one! 🎢 🎭
