third-largest city in North Texas, with a population of
365,000. Arlington is the home of the 30,000-student
University of Texas at Arlington, Tarrant County College SE
Campus, the National Semiconductor Wafer Plant, and General
Motors. The Texas Rangers have played in Arlington for over
30 years, and the new $650 million Dallas Cowboys Stadium is
set to open in Arlington for the 2009 season. In 1961, the
original Six Flags Over Texas was opened, and now draws over
3 million visitors to the city every year. Hurricane Harbor
