JET SCREAM!!!!! I rode this countless times when it was at Six Flags St. Louis in the early-mid 80s....was so sad when they relocated it to AstroWorld (and renamed it Viper)....good memories!
I LOVED this as Jet Scream at Six Flags over Mid America (St. Louis).
Just the words, "Last Day of Astroworld" makes me want to cry!
Monorail Beyond the Veil* Doesn't it? RIP Astroworld
I was watching an old episode of "Evening Shade" on tv, and was very surprised when they actually mentioned Astroworld.
1:24 is the part where everyone would reach out the right side and try to grab some grass!!
This is one of the most memorable rides from Astroworld for me. I was only 7 when the park shut down.
I went the last day i was 8 or 9 best day ever

Hello kaitlyntaylorhomes 🙋♂️ I only rode on that ride once it was back in 2000 I remember it sure was a short ride but fun for me at the time then many years later heard they closed down astroworld when I was living in San Antonio
Viper was the very first roller coaster I ever rode. That adrenaline high from it was amazing.
Mine too. I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry!
Thanks I just relieved my teenage years
As a former ride op. I filmed the demo of the park. I have nuts and bolts of many rides including this one and Greezed Lightning. Factiod AstroWorld was the only theme park to have 3 operating Schwarzkopf coasters. GL, Viper & Taz's Texas Tornado. They were all close in proximity in the park. Western Junction, Oriental Corner & Mexicana. They closed in 2005 with two as Tornado went to California.
I snuck in when they were demo'ing and got lots of pics of the rides in pieces
I have never been to astroworld sadly. only drove by it once when i was 6.I grew up going to the six flags in new orleans and when we evacuated to houston for katrina it was about a month before the park shut down. my dad went back in the 70s and 80s and I wanted to go but we couldnt due to lack of funds. sad that I never got to go in person
I feel ya bud I only went when I was a baby and honestly this is the only ride I remember
Sad part is Six flags in NO and Astroworld closed at same time in 2005
This was my first "big kid" ride growing up in Houston. I wanted to ride the viper sooo bad because I thought there were TV screens inside of the tunnel. Lol highly disappointed!! But I was hooked on roller coasters after this. I will miss astroworld
I was 5 years old. I'm from New Orleans and we would come here, but I never got on anything "big". I was too scared. And I thought there was fire inside the tunnel. My cousins would go on and I would just marvel at their braveness.
This was my first looping roller coaster when I was little. I’ll always have a soft spot for it even though it’s kind of lame.
My first ever rollercoaster was the Titan at six flags over Texas when i was like 8 and it traumatized me and I was terrified of rollercoasters for years. But we went to astroworld a couple years later and THIS rollercoaster was the one that got me over my fears of rollercoasters and I rode it like 10 times. Now I absolutely love rollercoasters. RIP astroworld.
Just a perfect ride!!!
The last time I got to ride this was in 2002. Man I miss that park.
I didn’t ride it often because at the time I wasn’t a big roller coaster fan but I did ride it a couple of times. One of my big regrets was never riding the Cyclone. I was just short of 11 years old when they tore it down.
When I use to hear those chains locking sound I knew doom was coming lol
Rode that coaster when it was brand new as "Jet Scream" at Six Flags Over Mid America (now Six Flags St Louis). It did not have the tunnel. It was a delight to reunite with it at Astroworld! Big bummer to lose both the park and coaster.
Thank for that video. This was my first roller coaster ride ever.
I didn't realize this ride was so short. It's about 1 minute total and around 33 seconds from beginning of the first drop to the brakes at the end, which is the real ride.
The first roller coaster I’ve ever rode. Sad it’s all gone now
Was there ever a louder clank then waiting for your turn. Then the sound of dragon’s breath as it wheered around the track. RIP
My first coaster
I miss this ride so much
this was my first roller coaster 😢
Me too
@@lucasinthehouse007 Hahha don't blame him at that point, could been... worse than some liquid in your pants haha.
I can't find Looping Coaster 2.
What a crime to demolish and scrap a Schwartzkopf looper
I think only only two metal coasters at Astroworld were relocated and operating. Mayan Mindbender and Serial Thriller.
You can ride the clone of this at frontier city in Oklahoma City 😊
my 1st rollercoaster in 1991.... I was 6
Blame Houston for killing Astroworld. Instead of using the money to revamp the Astrodome they built Relient. Loss of parking killed sales. Now the Astrodome is in ruins as well. Very sad, The Viper was my frirst rollercoaster ever. I wish I would of made it to the auction where they sold the signs etc. It will be missed.
Exactly, THEY'RE the ones who let it happen in the first place.
This ride wasn’t scary it was like the Excalibur with a loop lol
damn shame 20 years later still no new amusement park for the H
I really don't understand why no one wants to build a major theme park in Houston. It's a no brainer for printing money. 4th largest city in the US with a young population full of families and no major theme parks nearby for competition.
@@johnychen building a ground up theme park is a *huge* investment, hundreds of millions, and unfortunately, Six Flags is still the dominant chain in the region. They're skittish about ever going back to Houston, in part because SFOT and SFFT draw a large amount of Houston families.
Its ridiculous isnt it?! One of the largest cities in America but NO major theme park?!

Home park😭
We need a new homepark built. It's been over 17 years since we had one.
