Six flags Fiesta Texas is larger and has 4 more rides than its Arlington counterpart. (Six Flags over Texas has more roller coasters)

I won't vote because I've never been to San Antonio with the intent of going to amusement parks, so I don't know which is better. But in Dallas/Ft. Worth you have:

Six Flags Over Texas (The original and flagship)
Hurricane Harbor
State Fair Midway in the fall
Four Hawaiian Falls water parks spread throughout DFW (and a new one currently planned for West Ft. Worth.)
NRH2O Water Park
Bahama Beach in South Dallas
Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine
And the Dream Vision theme park kdogg mentioned that is planned for Ft. Worth. (If it ever comes to fruition is another story.)



Not sure if I'm leaving anything out.

How can anyone vote Houston when they couldn't even keep open the only amusement park they ever had?
