Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Six Flags Over Texas is part of the ‘Six Flags’ chain of Theme Parks (we’ve many others to post) and they apparently filmed the movie Spy Kids 2 here (albeit replacing some of the rides with ‘more crazy’ CG versions). A little to the north is the Six Flags Hurricane Harbor water park.
To the south west you’ll also find The Ameriquest field, home of the Texas Rangers.

it’s also the first one. I grew up in Dallas and remember when it opened. A historical ethnic theme for amusement parks was a new idea.
Probably Dallas/Fort Worth. That’s supposedly a huge airport.
To the right of the “millenium dallas airport” there’s what appears to be a freaking huge car dump or something.
Millenium Dallas Airport or whatever they are trying to cal it, is the old Naval Air Station. Been closed for years, they’re tying to make it into a commercial ariport but failing.
Yeah, that is a series of junkyards over there.
I spent a lot of time on that lake as a kid.
there is also an airplane in flight if you follow the creek from that lake past I30.
