its 60th anniversary today by announcing that an all-new ride
experience will make its debut for the 2022 season. Pirates of
Speelunker Cave, is a state-of-the-art attraction that will
place guests squarely in the middle of a pirate treasure hunt
thwarted by resident Speelunkers. This exciting, new attraction is

early in 2022. Aquaman: Power Wave, a previously announced
multi-launch water coaster, will also debut next season.

“As the world’s first regional theme park, Six Flags Over Texas
has built a solid reputation of providing innovative thrills and
lifelong memories for generations of families,” said Six Flags Over
Texas Park President Ron McKenzie. “What better way to celebrate
our park’s 60th anniversary than by announcing a brand-new
attraction that pays homage to our past and launches us into the
future,” added McKenzie.
An all-new entry plaza will welcome adventurers with coastal
theming and an open vantage point of the ride’s first descent into
the Speelunker’s Cave. Once aboard their six-passenger boat, riders
will experience 17 brand-new scenes that combine state-of-the-art
cinematic projection with immersive sets and animatronics.
Pirates of Speelunker Cave is a re-imagining of one of
the park’s first attractions, The Cave, that operated from 1964
until 1991 and will replace the current version of the
attraction—Yosemite Sam and the Gold River Adventure. The Cave
featured original characters called Speelunkers that were created
exclusively for Six Flags Over Texas.
Pirates of Speelunker’s Cave will feature:
- 26 six-passenger boats;
- State-of-the-art animatronics throughout the ride experience;
and
- Cinema-style, wide-projection technology to fully immerse
riders with high-tech digital and physical sets.
Pirates of Speelunker Cave is set to debut in early 2022
and will be the first of two major attractions opening at the theme
park next season.
Six Flags Over Texas, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer
Products, on behalf of DC, will debut the next generation in water
coaster thrill rides and the first-of-its-kind in North America
with Aquaman: Power Wave. The park’s previously announced
15th coaster will launch riders backwards and forwards, straight up
colossal 148 feet twin track towers and then send them plunging
straight down, screaming across more than 700 feet of track before
hurtling at 63 miles per hour towards the ultimate massive splash
down. It is scheduled to open in summer of 2022.
Aquaman: Power Wave’s highlights include:
- First water coaster of its kind in North America;
- Top speed of 63 miles per hour;
- Launch-style water coaster will suspend riders in a 90° angle
before hurtling them across the more than 700 feet of track;
- A state-of-the-art turntable station; and
- Two 20-passenger boats
