History
On October 8, 1998, Six Flags Fiesta Texas announced a $30 million expansion on new rides. There would be three major rides set to open that year, which were Poltergeist, Boomerang and Scream. Poltergeist would be built by Premier Rides and be an LIM launch coaster.[3] The ride would replace Seaside Golf, a miniature golf course that opened with the park in 1992.[4]
