Six Flags Astroworld Video.

[robbalvey]

For those of you who might not have had a chance to visit this park, we have posted our video from our 2004 DVD here:

This park has always gotten a lot of crap, but personally, I haven't had a bad day there. I think this video shows off what the park has to offer.

 

The most recent photos we took of the park can be found here:

RIP Six Flags Astroworld.

Thanks Robb, it helps ease the pain.

I got to AW only once, in '92. And fell in love with UltraTwister and XLR8, the best (IMO, at that time) suspended coaster I'd been on. Thanks for the video look, Robb.

 

And - Do The Dance, Do The Dance. Robb IS the DanceMAN!

I remember we thought gas was high on that trip.

 

What I wouldn't give for those prices now.

[freakout]

I've never been there before myself but from what I've seen it looks like a fun little park.

 

The video was great, I loved the ending.

[Erik Johnson]

Thanks for posting this video. It even had Serpent footage on it as well. The coaster train looks different than I remember. Also I remember the Serpent giving you two circuit rides when you rode it because of its short length. Do they still do that?

[CorkscrewFoley]

So what are they going to do with the remaining Antons then? That's my major concern. I have an AW park map from a friend of mine, and it does look like a fun little park.

[USCoaster]

Send them to SFMW!!! They already have 2 that don't work.

I've readded my 2003 video as well:

When we were there we did get two rides.

 

Fun little ride I thought.

[memphish]

To think I'll never get a chance to ride the Bootlegged Cheeseburger.

[robbalvey]

^ Well you might actually since the Bootlegged Cheeseburger thing happed at the SLC, which is the one coaster I feel has a shot at getting moved!

 

--Robb "Wow, that was a memory from LONG ago!" Alvey

[memphish]

^That's true. Do you still have that in the archives? That would be cool to see again.

(finding myself repeating earlier post - - age does things)

Dude! What the hell is "Robbin'" Only Elissa is supposed to get "Robbin'"!

 

oh.my.gawd! ROFLMAO!

[Phideaux]

I will miss having the park right in my backyard. I guess I will have to go a few more times before they close the doors forever. I will miss my little slice of fun on loop 610.

[zburns999]

Haha. Best...Ending...Ever. Seriously, even my brother who thinks only nerds talk on coaster forums was laughing and telling me to play it over and over.

[haydawg149]

robb i like your little number at the end, nice try . . . LMAO ! !

[zaneymon]

^ Same here

[tngdiablo]

How has nobody mentioned the "Try our Hand Dipped Fried Twinkies?" That sounds like the most disgusting thing ever. No wonder everyone is fat.

[RIPAstroworld]

Nice video of my home (RIP) park. (':cry:') I still haven't driven by the property since it closed.

 

I was at SFOT a few weeks ago; didn't see any Fried Twinkies for sale, but I wasn't exactly looking for them, either.

 

I'm wondering if Robb knows what the Yosemite Sam Dark Ride used to be called ... Sorry, Elissa - before your time ...

[Calvin]

Dallas was so cute on the drop ride! I hope my niece is as coaster-orientated as he is...

 

I never got the chance to go to Astroworld but I always wanted to, partially because it was called Astroworld and that is awesome.

 

EDIT: Now I really wish I could've gone. I wonder what they will do with the Schwartzkopf rides?

 

OMG Robb does the Mr. Six dance!
