Named for the six nations who have governed Texas throughout its history, the first Six Flags was created in Texas in 1960. Now the largest amusement park company in the world with 18 parks in North America, Six Flags invented the log flume ride and the 360 degree looping coaster. Six Flags deals are hard to come by, so use Six Flags coupons to save on the price of admission and spend a day enjoying roller coasters, flume rides, water slides, ferris wheels and cotton candy.
