Closing Down A Theme Park
astroworldfan1 replied to astroworldfan1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah & if CF hadn't bought it from SFI when they did SF execs would've shut it down in 2004 & then systematically relocated the rides to other parks just the same as CF is currently doing & you'd still be complaining about it. Huh? I kinda get what your saying, but not 100%. Your saying Geauga Lake sold to Cedar Fair. The rides would be taken out, relocated and we wouldn't even know the difference? -
Opryland U.S.A.

Your right. But, Six Flags was really thrifty, (sarcastic)! But really, they should have installed more coasters than 2! The Steamin' Delta Demon look like a fun ride! -
Opryland U.S.A.
astroworldfan1 replied to montezooma's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
All of the rides that were sent to Old Indiana that were in the open field are now scrapped. Its sad to hear that because those were good rides that could have been used. Six Flags, at that time owned the property with the rides. Why couldn't Six Flags install the rides in their parks instead of having to pay for a new roller coaster? -
Opryland U.S.A.

I so upset that I was never able to go to Opryland USA! My mom went and she said she loved it! Looks like a good thirll park and show park! The roller coasters looked really good! Too bad it closed, same with Libertyland! Libertyland was Elvis Presley's favorite amusement park! It had a good line up of rides, too. Now it just sits dormat (Libertyland). -
Theme parks in Google Earth

Windows Maps Live won't let you see the White House. Probably for safety reasons so it won't get attacked. -
Closing Down A Theme Park
astroworldfan1 replied to astroworldfan1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's funny how much we've picked on Six Flags over the years. Maybe the real villian in ruining parks is Cedar Fair! Or Cedar Fail as I call them. Eric _____________________________________________________________ Cedar Fair- 1 down 19 more to go! Yeah I totally agree with Cedar Fair being the villian! Bwa Ha Ha! -

Yeah, I think it would look good if it had a woodie! But, great job so far! -
Closing Down A Theme Park
astroworldfan1 replied to astroworldfan1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What I mean is having something to do at night keeps teenagers who so to a theme park from vandalizing buildings, robbing old ladies and keeping kids out of jail. Is that more clear? Kind along the lines of a Boy's and Girl's club. -
Closing Down A Theme Park
astroworldfan1 replied to astroworldfan1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^That was funny! Well, you also have to think about the people it effects. It effects the kids, adults and the economy. Without anything to do in your area, kids are more prone to be in gangs and get in trouble. Think about all the people who lost their jobs when Astroworld closed. Some employees were there since opening day in 1968. People are laid off. Some people had to move away, just to push a button for a roller coaster. And then when they do move away, they can't get hired. So thats another factor to think about when a theme park closes. And I don't know why people "disliked" Astroworld. What was so bad about it? It had some great coasters at some time. And from the look of Robb's and Elissa's Review of Astroworld, it looked like everybody enjoyed it! -
Holiday in the Park
astroworldfan1 replied to Zonga's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, I deffantly think Six Flags Discovery Kingdom's christmas tree is bigger than Disneyland's castle! -
This makes me so mad when a theme park closes for good? Take for instance, Miracle Strip. Miracle Strip closed, was torn down and condos were going to be built in it's place. Then, a year later the companies who were going to build the condos run out of money! Like Astroworld, it's been closed since 2005 and nothing has been built on top of it. Instead of having a theme park with thrilling rides, good food, and history, it just sits untouched for years. Does this make anybody else feel sad inside?

PTR: Gilroy Gardens 11/17/07
astroworldfan1 replied to speedracer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I like this park, it seems very pretty with a few good rides! Did anybody know that Gilroy Gardens is a Cedar Fair park? It's nice for a Cedar Fair, not ti trashy with Rugrats and other things like that! -

Hey, Hey! Don't be hating on the Mega Zeph! Yes, it was rough, but, was really fun! It was a fun ride while it was open! -

Intamin's New Website
astroworldfan1 replied to Sticky Nicky's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I couldn't find the roller coaster section. Its not even listed. They might be working on it right now. Anybody else found that? All they have are tower rides, thrill rides, simulators, and wheels. -
Intamin Drop Towers
astroworldfan1 replied to MF310ryb's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Does Intamin still make parts for the 1st gen tower? Or do you have to get them off a defunct tower? -
I was at SFoG on Friday, and I was talking to one of the hostess at Monster Plantation and I asked her, "Are they taking out Deja Vu?" And she said I think they changed their mind about taking it out because it is having a good year this year. So there is hope for Vu. But was closed when I was there. Lickskillet would be a good place for Thomas Town, but not where Deja Vu!
