Six Flags Fiesta Texas Ride Halts Near 200 Feet Over Cellphone Violation

The case highlights strict enforcement of no-phone rules on high-altitude attractions.

Overview

  • The Supergirl Sky Flight, which halted Sunday near its peak, left riders suspended about 200 feet over Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio.
  • Six Flags said an operator stopped the ride after spotting a guest using a cellphone in violation of park rules, and the attraction stayed open after the pause.
  • Riders estimated they waited 10 to 15 minutes before descent, while the park told one outlet the stop lasted about seven minutes.
  • Maintenance brought the swings down and all guests exited without injury, according to the company and rider accounts.
  • Video shot by rider Maria Salazar and shared with Storyful spread widely, drawing attention to the open-air swing ride that climbs 200 feet and speeds up near the top.
