Six Flags Fiesta Texas is a theme park located near San Antonio, Texas in a former rock quarry. It was originally developed by USAA, an insurance company specializing in coverages for members of the United States Armed Forces, and named "Fiesta Texas". At first, USAA intended to keep the development and manage it with the help of Gaylord Entertainment Company, a Nashville, Tennessee company which owns the Opryland Hotel and the Grand Ole Opry and at the time Opryland USA theme park. However, changing corporate philosophies at both businesses caused USAA to exit the theme park business and sell Fiesta Texas. Gaylord was later to close Oprlyand and leave the theme park business as well. Since 1996, the park is managed by the Six Flags organization, associated with Time Warner.
