I have the conference brochure right in front of me:

    "Don't miss Six Flags Fiesta Texas"  - back cover
    "3 Receptions, Party at Six Flags over Texas"  - front cover
on page 23:
    "Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Saturday, June 14, 3:45-9:30 pm"
    "When the technical program ends on Saturday afternoon, get
     ready to play for the rest of the day!  Board a shuttle bus
     with your friends to fun-filled Six Flags Fiesta Texas, a
     200-acre family theme park with over 60 rides and attractions."
    [ it goes on about several coasters, the water park w/wave pool,
      gentler children's rides, haunted mansion, etc]
    "Your registration fee covers one admission ticket and a voucher
     good at six casual restaurants in the park.  Additional tickets
     may be purchased onsite at a special discounted price."

When I went last time, the water & coaster park was just outside of
town, not too far from Red Roof Inn I stayed, though it was not owned
by Six Flags at that time and had a different name (it might have been
a Paramount park I think, Kings something-or-other).

It took me about 30 minutes from downtown to get to the park last time.
