About Fort Worth elsewhere

"Fort Worth, sneered at as "Cowtown" by its neighbors, lives in the shadow of its wild history as a rip-roaring cowboy town, a place of gunfights and cattle drives -- even though its cultural establishment is superior to Dallas's and it has seen a downtown rebirth in recent years."

"The most western portion of the DFW Metroplex and historical part of the Chisolm trail, Fort Worth is known by diverse names such as Cowtown and Panther City...when the town was considered a sleepy cowtown between cattle drives, legend has it a panther was seen sleeping in the road in the middle of town."

I recommend either getting the 'drunken noodle' or the 'pad thai' dinners.

Six Flags Over Texas is by the the coolest Six Flags I've ever been to. It is totally worth fighting traffic in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. This theme park is home to the largest wooden coaster (the Texas Giant) as well as a whole slue of rides that get the adrenalin pumping. I suggest riding the Titan, the Batman ride, and definitely ride the Mr. Freeze Ride. You go from 0-70 in 3 seconds all the while twisting and turning--eventually going completely vertical-- all to just do it all over again backwards. The entire ride might be 45 seconds, but it's totally worth it!
