- Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival was inspired by the childhood nostalgia of the original Houston amusement park. Ron Treviño reminisces on the memories before its shutdown 16 years ago.
I will never forget the great memories made going there as a kid
Boogie fog
Yeah it was fun until thugs started terrorizing people
he mentioned the lonestar amphitheater!!! way to go dude!!!
I went as an 8 year old kid in 1970. Loved it, especially the Lost World boat ride, as well as the Astrodome across the highway. I saw the Astro's beat the Dodgers on that same trip from New Jersey.
HOUSTON NEED THIS AGAIN!!!
I still remember them adverstising the Mayan Mind Bender when they decided to build it. I feel like no other Theme Park will feel the same as it did at Astroworld.
Astroworld use to be lit back in the day. Concerts galore and who can forget the Boogie Fog Disco. Went in the 70’s and 80’s. It’s sad that Houston doesn’t have a theme park.
My parents took me and my sister when we were little I don’t really remember everything,but then I went for a school field trip when I was in fourth grade,I have memories of that time,that was the last time I went to six flags.
I want Astroworld back!
I rode the Texas Cyclone one time. It jerked a person around too much and beat the sides of my legs up. I liked the one I think was called Greased Lightning --- the one that was a loop and then you went backwards. I rode that one seven times in a row. It was late, and there weren't many people left. No line. They made us go all the way back down and all the way back through to get on it again each time, even though nobody was there waiting. We were teenagers. We did it.
I went there four times in my life. The first time I was three or four years old, too little for most of the rides. I remember that day --- getting to 'steer' one of those cars on that track. I went twice as a teen, and I took my kids the last time I went. My sister and other family took them several times.
@Peter Rabbit - Pianist-Composer ♫ No ride made me dizzy or nauseated back in the day. I liked the spinning stuff the most. Loved the tilt a whirl. Loved to spin around on the dance floor with a partner, too.
Now, for the past decade, I have severe vertigo. Riding in a car, or turning my head too fast makes me dizzy and nauseated. It's like living on a roller coaster and not having any fun doing it and not being able to get off of it.
Hate that you didn't get to enjoy that ride like I did. Being dizzy and nauseated sucks.
@@andiamador7156 I have the same issue. Do you know what causes yours?
@@sabrinashelton1997 Sorry so long in my reply. I was in the hospital for over a week and recovering more here at home, still. (Dealing with the vertigo, and how I have to deal with it, was something for the nursing staff to deal with ... Someone trying to help me makes it harder, because my vision and perception is involved -- so someone beside me moving around in my peripheral vision brings on a heightened vertigo episode or worsens it.)
But, they did the Epley maneuver on me back in 2008, and I was good for four years. So it was benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), I would say. But in 2012, it came back and the Epley maneuver didn't work. The condition has morphed into something as I try to compensate, and I have balance issues. I have other health problems I never had before, due to an inability to be as physically active as I was before. They didn't pin down a definite 'cause' in 2012.
I think I always had something wrong with me, growing up, when I think back on things, but I played sports in school (mostly volleyball, making the cut) and I compensated in ways. I never got dizzy spinning round, but I could never do a cartwheel. I could shoot a basket from far away, but could not do a lay up, getting all confused under the basket. As an adult, and over time, I got to where I could spin on the dance floor in a 'secure' feeling only when my dance partner was both hands on, and not spinning me alone, if that makes sense. I miss dancing.
What causes yours? Do they know?
Yup “Greezed Lightnin’,” a flywheel-driven Schwarzkopf shuttle loop. I miss rides like that.
It’s a shame Houston couldn’t having onto their theme park. Thankful Six Flags over Texas is still going strong in DFW.
Sucks that AstroWorld had to close mostly because of Six Flags' poor management at the time. Thankfully the spirit of the Texas Cyclone lives on here at Six Flags Great America as Viper
The river of no return...i was picked to drive about 3 times
RUN DMC, LL COOL J AND WHOUDINI PERFORMED THERE AS WELL
IN 84 OR WAS IT 85? I WAS THERE!!
I saw Selena perform there live
He looks just like his grandfather
Lol I thought the same
WHY DID IT HAVE TO SHUT DOWN???THAT WAS THE DUMBEST THING HOUSTON DID I MOVED TO HOUSTON 2009 WHEN I WAS 22 AND I DIDNT GET TO EXPERIENCE IT😒💅🏽🤣😩
The Six Flags company was in debt and they had to sell off parks and demolish others.
It closed down because it go too ghetto, and there was too much trouble going on.
It closed bee cause Time warmer sold Six's Flags two a bad come pan knee. Alf stir that, day neglected Astroworld bee cause day plan two demolish it from de beginning. Disney is de parent come pan knee of de come pan knee that bought Six flags,So eye bee leave Disney was de reason four de closer. Disney went a round de world and put isle Disney like parks out of business. Astroworlds star ted as a cop pea of Disney. Isle other parks that cop pea Disney was put out of business buy Disney two.
@@iwkaoy8758 WHAAAAAT??!!!
@@seanlewis1148 What you won't two no?
100% truth: Astroworld became too black. It into as easily accessible hood babysitter and bigger paying customers stopped coming. The end. Disney and Universal have their prices high enough where only upper upper middle class can enjoy so they never have this problem
Biggest mistake they ever made was selling summer long passes and the mothers would drop their little thugs off to create hell all the time. Before that it was a different world and it was great.
Where were the dads??
@@Desiree12342 you tell us
It was a really cool place but the punks and the gang bangers ruined it.
