Shock Wave

This Schwarzkopf looper stands the test of time, as it not only remains Six Flags Over Texas's best classic coaster, but one of their best coasters, second only to New Texas Giant and maybe Titan and Mr. Freeze. However, because it is a classic coaster and is relatively hidden in the back of the park, it often has much shorter waits than these newer thrill coasters. Happy 45th anniversary, may Shock Wave continue to thrill riders for 45 more years!

Located towards the back of SFOT, Shockwave is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. With two highly intense loops to start right off the drop, and then a airtime packed layout, this classic 1979 Schwarzkopf looper is surely going to make any avid coaster enthusiast full of joy upon reentering the station after their first ride. While the only thing going against it is it's very noticeable age, the roughness doesn't take away from it too much for me personally. 4/5, very fun and intense ride suitable for most of the family.

This ride gotton rough over the years as you can see the structure shake quite a bit when it is going on. They have 3 trains, but only 1 running so the line runs very slow. I sat in the middle row with my wife. Anyways you go up and down and side to side. The loops are pretty fun, but the rest of the ride can be rough. I hope they get rid of this ride soon.

The back-to-back loops on this steel sit-down pack quite an electrifying punch.Situated at the very back of Six Flags Over Texas behind the oil derrick, wait times are nearly nonexistent for this aging ride. This Schwarzkopf twin looper rides considerably rough around the edges (as do most rides that are still in existence from the German-based coaster firm).The layout is unique to SFOT but isn't all that thrilling itself aside from a few nice pops of airtime. Fortunately, the low popularity of this coaster allows for walk-ons and re-rides so you can certainly get your money's worth.Ride blogs claim that Shock Wave pulls 5.9G's between the deadly double loops, but that's perhaps a liberal figure. It felt like Mr Freeze had more intense G-forces, but maybe that's just me ....... ride both and determine for yourself!~Special ride elements~*Vertical loop*Vertical loopFun, and good for a few rides, but it's showing signs of neglect and could do well with a new coat of paint.

Best classic double looping steel coaster in Texas. This ride never gets old, I can ride it all day long. Very fun. First time I rode it I blacked out on the second loop. Still had a Blast!

Me and my friends rid this we were terrified but it was fun I definitely suggest this ride if you are at Six Flags Over Texas and you are in a mood for a good trill!
