Overview
- Victor Wembanyama said he did not ride any Six Flags Fiesta Texas attractions because his 7-foot-4 frame made them unsafe, telling reporters, "I didn't do any rides. I can't do it safely."
- The Spurs visited the park during a team outing just before their regular-season opener, and the episode was reported as a light, human-interest item rather than a competitive development.
- San Antonio entered the opener with Tobias Harris listed out with a calf strain while the Oklahoma City Thunder were missing several rotational players, including Thomas Sorber, Otega Oweh and Nikola Topic.
- Fans greeted the Spurs at the park and a clip posted on X by Fullcourtpass showed Wembanyama walking away from a ride with teammates, which amplified the story on social media.
- Wembanyama’s height is both the source of his on-court edge as the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and a practical limit off the court, and he said his contract does not ban rides though he would "rather not" take them.
