In 2000, Six Flags Fiesta Texas added a new B&M "Floorless" coaster, Superman: Krypton Coaster, as a new star attraction to the park's thrill ride line-up. But the park also had plans to add a new family coaster, named "Boardwalk Canyon Blaster." A standard Large Tivoli coaster, it would have been one of several in the chain, including Poison Ivy's Tangled Train (now known as Catwoman's Whip), Blackbeard's Lost Treasure Train, and Cobra. These coasters are known for thier long, winding double-figure-eight layout, and their long, 20-car trains. Even though the ride sitting in the employee parking lot, the park even featured the coaster on the map all season. Unfortunately, instead of erecting the ride, it was shipped to Spain, and later opened as "Tom y Jerry," with appropriate Tom and Jerry themeing, at Warner Bros. Park in Madrid. Incidentally, another Superman floorless coaster opened with that park.
While the area of Fiesta Texas later received a new spinning wild mouse named Tony Hawk's Big Spin, the spot that was ear-marked for the Canyon Blaster remains empty.
