Going to Houston... parks along the way?

[musicmand]

So my wife and I are considering a trip from the Kansas City area down to Houston this summer to visit her best friend.

 

Any thoughts for parks we might visit on the way or parks we should avoid?

You can stop at SFOT in arlington,TX(I-30 between Dallas and Fort Worth) they have a very good ride collection there, then when you get to Houston take a trip to Kemah Boardwalk, they have an awesome woody there called the Boardwalk Bullet.

If you're going through Oklahoma City, there's Frontier City. It used to be a Six Flags park, and I found it to be fairly decent on my visit a few years ago though it's changed management hands since. In addition to a sort of odd wooden coaster, they have one of the few remaining Schwarzkopf Looping Star coasters as well as one of the few remaining Arrow shuttle coasters.

 

In Dallas, besides SFOT, there's also Sandy Lake if you want to pick up a couple of smaller coaster credits.
