Valero Family Day

Valero reserved Six Flags Fiesta Texas for Valero Family Day, and only Valero employees and their families were allowed in the park today. Not only was it an absolute blast, with basically no lines and great weather, but everything (including parking, admission, food, snacks, and games) was free. It was an awesome day!
We started out on Goliath, the newest roller coaster.
The picnic area. Lunch was hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, and beef brisket with potato salad and chips. There were a few huge white tents and also large shelter areas.

We were stuck on this roller coaster for about 10 minutes, but it wasn't too hot out and it was nice to sit still for awhile.
This roller coaster was down for about 30 minutes while they cleaned the first car after someone had thrown up.
And you might be able to see why that would happen...

View east from the ferris wheel (the whole park is surrounded by a sheer rock wall, like it was built in an old quarry or something).
