Kiddee Koaster is a steel junior roller coaster located at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas.

History

The ride was originally named the Pied Piper when it opened in 1992. In 1999 it was renamed to Rollschuhcoaster. In 2009, Wiggles World made its debut at the park and the roller coaster was renamed to Romp Bomp A Stomp to suit the theme.[1]

In 2009, Romp Bomp A Stomp was repainted with lime green track and hot pink supports, replacing its dark yellow track and light blue supports for Wiggles World.[2]

Kiddee Koaster during Holiday In The Park 2010

In late 2010, Six Flags began the process of terminating the licensed intellectual property attraction theming deals they had with Thomas the Tank Engine, The Wiggles and Tony Hawk.[3] Wiggles World has been rethemed to KIDZOPOLIS[4] and the attractions were renamed and rethemed including Romp Bomp A Stomp which is now known as Kiddee Koaster.[5][6][7]

Ride

Kiddee Koaster is a junior roller coaster with a minimum height restriction of 36 inches (91 cm).[1] Riders board a 10-seater train and go up a short hill before going down and following the track in a simple loop back round to the station in two circuits.[8]
