"During severe weather that was impacting the park, medical staff and local EMS responded to four guests who were struck by a fallen tree near the park's entrance," Six Flags said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.
"The guests were transported to a local hospital for further evaluation," the venue also said.
Park officials have not released the identities of the four guests or provided updates on their conditions.
"Prayers for the people that were hurt," the user wrote.
Posts shared on Reddit appeared to show a large tree that had fallen across part of the park, with users claiming it also came to rest on the track of the Mindbender roller coaster.
"It didn't look like the track was bent. But it was a thick tree, so I couldn't tell if anything was broken," one user wrote.
Six Flags has not confirmed whether any attractions were damaged or whether park operations were affected.
The incident occurred at the resort's rooftop DAER Club, where strong winds caused the structure to partially collapse into an area occupied by guests.
Videos shared online showed visitors and employees rushing to lift sections of the fallen metal frame as they worked together to free people trapped underneath before first responders arrived.
