Case Study: Six Flags Over Texas achieves proactive guest safety through early lightning warnings with AccuWeather For Business

Six Flags Over Texas - Customer Case Study

Six Flags Over Texas faced the risk of a sudden, dangerous thunderstorm and needed reliable advance notice to protect guests and staff. AccuWeather For Business provided its SkyGuard® lightning warning service to monitor storms and deliver targeted alerts to the park.

AccuWeather For Business issued a SkyGuard lightning warning at 6:25 p.m. declaring lightning likely between 6:45 and 8:00 p.m., giving Six Flags Over Texas 46 minutes of lead time before the first bolt at 7:11 p.m. That advance warning allowed park officials to proactively move guests to safe locations with no injuries reported, and Six Flags’ Director of Operations credited AccuWeather For Business’ storm communication for enabling timely, precautionary measures.
