Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington experienced a power outage on May 16, 2026, caused by technical issues linked to high winds, interrupting power throughout the park [1]. Multiple rides were shut down, including the Titan roller coaster, one of the park’s tallest attractions that reaches speeds up to 85 mph and has operated since 2001 [1, 2].
The Titan coaster halted mid-ride, leaving riders stranded approximately 245 feet above ground [2]. Park staff evacuated the riders safely by assisting them down a steep staircase attached to the coaster structure [1, 2]. No injuries were reported during the evacuation [1].
An online TikTok user commented on the incident, saying, "I could never get down from there, not at that height," while another added, "Would never ride a roller coaster again," reflecting the stress of the experience [2].
A Six Flags spokesperson described the outage as an internal technical problem that disrupted power throughout the park [2]. The issue was resolved, allowing the park to reopen on May 17, a day after the outage occurred [1, 2].
