Power outage at Six Flags Great Adventure forces park to close for day
The outage did not impact Hurricane Harbor or Wild Safari, Six Flags said.
www.cbsnews.comHere’s what I can share about the Titan power outage situation as of the latest reports.
- Incident overview: A power outage affected Six Flags parks, including Six Flags Over Texas, on May 16, 2026. The Titan coaster was among the rides that stopped, leaving riders momentarily stranded at the top before evacuation. This aligns with multiple outlets describing riders walking down maintenance stairs after the outage.[1][3]
- Scope and duration: The outage impacted the park’s electrical system broadly, not just a single ride, and operations were affected for a period before park-wide resumption of most attractions later that day or the following day in some locations.[2][3][1]
- Reactions and follow-up: Riders were evacuated safely in line with standard safety procedures, and many reports note that parks offered complimentary tickets or other accommodations for future visits after the incident.[3][2]
- Notable context: The Titan is described as a 245-foot ride at Six Flags Over Texas, capable of high speeds, which amplified public attention when evacuation videos circulated on social media.[1][2]
If you’d like, I can pull together a concise timeline of what happened at the relevant park(s) and gather the most credible sources with direct quotes. I can also summarize any official statements from Six Flags for clarity. Would you like me to do that and specify which Six Flags location you’re most interested in?
