I grew up in Houston, you made me cry, I love it! Wish you could have added the Viper and XLR8. My heart was happy when i saw the Texas Cyclone! Great job!!!!
You ain’t lying, me too. Man i miss that place so much. This was definitely an older version of the park (thats why you saw the safari boat ride, they ended up replacing that with xlr8)before thunder river, ultra twister batmAn and all that...but still amazing. Like when you rode the cable cars that’s exactly what it looked like crossing over the water where they would do ski and water shows. Chat n chew made me smile
wow i see i already commented on this! it was so amazing it was like the 1st time! amazingly accurate, especially the views with the cyclone in the background. would love to see another version with the viper and the tidal wave and the ultra twister and batman! you got the buildings and the landscaping perfect!
So much fun and so many memories came flooding back to me. Seeing all the old rides and being able to name almost all of them.. what a rush!! Enjoyed it thank you😍
Great video recreation, especially to capture the early theming that made the park so great. I have so many memories of the park from 1968 to 1979. Here are a couple of items of interest that I've not seen elsewhere: 1)There was a "traveling show" in the western section called Dr. Featherflowers Medicine Show that was quite funny, and 2) there was a video released in December 1968 called "The Pied-Piper of Astroworld" starring Soupy Sales. In addition to an unusual cast including Muppets were very young Patrick Swayze (in bear costume) and Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek Next Generation). I used to find snippets on RUclips but can no longer find them. One suggestion for your video is to update the Astroneedle cabin - it had two levels with red trim.
Paul, thank you for your kind comments. I wish I could have a double cabin on the Astroneedle. Unfortunately, the single cabin is the only option in Planet Coaster. I plan to work on V2 of the park later this summer. I will include the "Dr. Featherflowers" wagon. Thanks!
Hello, yes I live in Houston. No, I do not have a portfolio. Creating these recreation videos is just a hobby for me. It's a way for me to keep the places that I have loved alive that are now gone. Thank you.
@Abel B. Good question, i'm unable to post my email address. I did get your comment in email though. I suppose you can get in touch with me here then. Thanks!
you should make a Hotel Transylvania coaster based off of Atlantis from HT3 where you go around the casino resort (as it says in the movie's wikipage) and enter the Kraken's domain where you ride on his belly and back before falling into his mouth and being farted out of his butt
Lol my mom used to work at Chat n Chew way back in the late 70s. The fact that you included that is awesome.

I'm glad you enjoyed. Thank you!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed!
This is so awesome! Thanks for sharing this, made me feel like I was working there again walking the grounds!
Wow that was amazing, brings back so many memories!
Amazing work. Sound and editing are great.

I love Astroworld! Miss it so much. My sister and I actually worked there and I got to meet some celebrities.happy memories?😊
I miss it also, Sara. Thank you!
Steam workshop download available? Fantastic recreation. Thank you
Went there a few times in the late 90s and love the park.
That's ME (age 5) in front of the Dexter Frebish entrance at 0:06!
I used a few of your photos before the transition and left the credits as they were. I hope that's OK? Thank you!
Great park! Wish you had greez lightning and the dungeon drop but I loved the Texas Cyclone.
Greezed Lightnin is at 4:28. THere is a commercial recreation also.
Wonderful. I wish it was still around. Six Flags did Houston dirty on it's closure.
This is amazing! Do you have a download? I would love to visit the park!!!
The grail!!! I've been looking for this as a blueprint. Do you have it available? It would be amazing to experience!
Is this park available for download on the Planet Coaster Steam Workshop?
Thank you so much for your channel
Do you have this downloadable anywhere? I am sure a lot of people would love the memory
Are you in the Houston area by chance? Do you do have a portfolio up somewhere?

This is cool. It looks like you put a lot of time and work into this. How long did it take?
Hi Kyle. It took me approx. 2 months of my free time, evenings and some weekends. I started in early April when the pandemic was ramping up.
@@rsanford100 Wow. Great work! Your video triggered a lot of good memories.
@@kylecain6685 Thank you Kyle!
