None closer than 2+ hours from me. However, they left one off the list --- the old Playland Park in Houston. Loved that old wooden coaster. There was also a dirt track there --- AJ Foyt cut his racing teeth there.
You could also add Six Flags Astroworld to the list -- it is closed --- land is being sold.
