I know I would...... and I think it would significantly increase ridership.
Unfortunately that ship has already sailed. All RR ROW between Denton and Carrollton is now devoted to the recently opened A-Train light rail. It connects Denton to downtown Dallas via a DART connection at Trinity Mills. You could always get off at the Denton Station and head into Dallas that way but the TRE would probably be less of a hassle.

I would LOVE to see the Flyer extended to Tulsa, then Joplin, then KC. Kansas City is the closest stop on the Amtrak Chicago/NYC network to OKC, so from there you can pretty much go anywhere east. Of course we are talking about 2 days on a train but it would be a blast! It would require some serious subsidies from the state though.
