Here is an article from [url]http://www.amusementbusiness.com[/url] about the State Fair of Texas and future improvments. Looks like they are adding a new gondola ride after the accident in the late 70's.
However the interesting part is there is discussion of making the Fair a seasonal amusement park. Here is a quote from the article.

""
By the end of the decade, Fair Park in Dallas could be transformed from a mostly empty sea of concrete to a state-of-the-art amusement park with roller coasters and attractions open all summer.

"The possibilities are endless for an integrated entertainment system at Fair Park," State Fair president Errol McKoy told the newspaper. "When it's all done, Fair Park will be like Disneyland."
