My first trip to AstroWorld was in '71 at the age of 2. I visited tons of times over the next 20 years. I remember buying season passes the first year they were offered. I worked as a lifeguard at WaterWorld in the summer of '88. I took my own daughter in '94 when she was 3 and missed the family feeling the park had in the past. I recently got to reminnesing of the wonderful memories.
**The Alpine Sleigh Ride. How we would yell stuff in the first tunnel and it would be played back in the second. And the abominable snowman who scared the crap out of me, but was eventually replaced.
**The boot slide. This wasn't a ride, but just a slide that I always had to make a trip down even when I was too big to be doing so.
**The Barrel of Fun. That was one crazy ride.
**The Boogie Fog Disco. Oh my!
**The summer of '80 when the park was open all night and we stayed till 5:00am.
**Making out on the AstroWay.
**Buying the mini loaf of Wonder Bread
**All the concerts. Flock of Seagulls, Billy Idol, Huey Lewis, Wham!, Outfield, Starship...is that a line up from the '80s or what??
**Riding the Bamboo Shoot and getting totally soaked because we all splashed each other throughout the entire ride.
**Knowing the entire script of corny jokes on the River of No Return.
That video was great and the song was perfect! Thanks!
