angus g. wynne

Angus G. Wynne was an oil tycoon and the founder of the Six Flags Over Texas theme park in Arlington, Texas. He allegedly created the park following a visit to Walt Disney World and subsequently believing that Texas residents should have a theme park to visit locally. Wynne first intended to name the park "Texas Under Six Flags" until his wife notified him that Texas was never "under anything." The "six flags" originally represented the six countries that have governed Texas: France, Spain, Mexico, The Republic of Texas, The Confederate States of America, and the United States of America. The Six Flags company eventually acquired numerous other properties and is currently the world's largest regional theme park chain.
