There’s a lot going on in this postcard! The description, from the back of the card:
TEXAS EXCITEMENT
Three of the most popular rides at SIX FLAGS Over Texas are shown in action. At top is the Runaway Mine Train which annually carries more than 2½ million riders. At center an authentic 1898 steam engine carries passengers over a narrow gauge track which encircles the huge theme park. And, in the foreground is the SIX FLAGS Mini Mine Train, designed for the younger set.

Six Flags was originally a delightful place. Then they became the first among many to show gross disrespect for our history and Confederate ancestors by doing away with the old Stars ans Bars, and removing any reference to the Confederacy from their park. Another big time organization hard at work erasing history just like Stalin and Hitler.
