Texas SkyScreamer is a spinning swing ride in the Goodtimes Square section of Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. The ride maker Funtime built it, and it opened in 2013. It took the place of Texas Chute Out, a parachute drop ride in Goodtimes Square that was demolished in October 2012.
Riders sit in swings and fly in circles around the park at about 400 feet. The park compares that height with its two much lower swing rides, Taz Tornado Swings and Gunslinger, saying SkyScreamer flies riders roughly 40 stories higher. It is also far taller than any roller coaster in the park, including the 309-foot Tormenta Rampaging Run, which opened in 2026.
The park rates it a thrill level 3 ride. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall, or 44 inches when accompanied.
