Ken Wiggins Yeah I've heard about it as well and that got cancelled for some reason and then another company wanted to buy it but got canceled as well. Then they almost turned it into a giant mall and got canceled.
Jazzland really is trying to re open it. You can go to their facebook page and see the updates. I did have in mind for a bit while about if I transform the abandoned theme park into a huge haunted attraction which it would be really awesome.
Ahh... many a steamy, humid summer day in the early 90's was spent running on these grounds. The place may be gone, but the memories will last a lifetime. Memories of the heat, oh the oppressive heat, only to be quenched by the splash of TidalWave. The smell of the funnel cake and you walk through the gate. The moldy smell of the air conditioner in the arcade room near Excaliber where you traveled only briefly to get a reprieve from the heat outside. These were days before FastPasses and such, so you braved the sweat while standing in the lines. The faint screams that grow louder as you near the ride you have already waited an hour for. And at the end of the day, the treacherous walk over the bridge, with all your strength removed by the sun, meant this day of memory making was over. But oh for another to come. So much enjoyment. So many memories. It may not have been the best, but we made it OUR BEST!
Tore down because the CEO thought he was going to beable to sell the land for 150 million, but ended up only getting 70 something million. Park got torn down for nothing!
looking at all these photos is like watching someone very special to you who you grew up with and shared many great times die and watch they're death over and over. its sad we will never get it back and our children will never grow up enjoying what we did.
Christian Orzame what the hell is the Matter with you and if it’s a joke I’m gonna be super pissed at you at lease we hade a better park I mean we’re do I start we hade The Texas Cyclone serial thriller Batman the escape Excalibur and viper now all of that’s gone but we’re Houston strong
Does anyone know if either Earth Quest Adventure or Grand Texas is still in the works? Damn shame ASTROWORLD is no longer in existence; and it's getting close to summer too? Still could've been open to entertain families, ESPECIALLY high school grads on grad nite!!!! DAMN KEIRAN BURKE...STILL TO THIS DAY, once again I say: DAMN KEIRAN BURKE!!!(former Six Flags CEO)
The CEO was forced out over this poor business decision, they ended up getting way less for the property. They should have removed some of the park and built a parking garage.
YUNG BULL11 damn this park was really the shit this the place I lost my virginity at I was only 15 going to high school as a freshman damn I miss the good times
Dude, AstroWorld was one of the Lesser Profitable Six Flags Parks, and they're tempting people to go to they're larger parks in Texas, Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. And the old Six Flags that used to Operate in New Orleans was severely damaged in Katrina, actually put a Dent in they're Profits that year, and this Park getting Demolished was how they made up for that lost Profit
actually it was the third profitable park the reason it closed was because with the astrodome and relient stadium parking became an issue and that made the land valuable so the then ceo decided to close it and get a huge profit but turned out to get half of what they wanted for the land and after that the ceo was fired for closing a park for no reason also six flags worlds of adventure or geauga lake put the company in debt so the then ceo probley thought he was getting a lot of money for the land so the company could pay debt off which did not happen(rip astroworld 1969-2005)
The reason it’s gone is the former CEO of six flags heard the land was worth a lot of money so he closed the park demolished it and the land was sold for 77 million. Far less than expected and the ceo was pulled down. They destroyed it for money
I lived in Houston for much of the 90s. The people were nice and the city had so much to offer, including three professional sports teams, a terrific theatre district, fantastic restaurants of every ethnicity, and a beautiful downtown skyline I would encircle via 45 during occasional bouts of insomnia. I miss it and may go back to live someday. Houston would have to get a new mayor, though. Not a fan of fascism.
In the 90's my mom or one of my friends parents would drop us off at astroworld at noon every Saturday during the summer. Guess that was our babysitter till 10 or midnight. We loved it cuz we would meet up with other friends there so it would be maybe 10 of us. Not too much riding the rides but to be free from our parents lol. She gave me $20 (which was a lot for a teenager) and tell me I better not be walking to McDonald's (although I was because the food and drinks were so high and I wanted to play games.) She told me what time to walk out and she will paged me once she pulls into the "pick up only". That place was awesome till it got dangerous. RIP Astroworld....a true fan.
So sad! We lost our six flags here too. It also was getting pretty rough with the type of people coming there, but the storm did a number and its worth more now as a film spot
@@theactualjavening that was torn down right after hurricane Andrew hit it. It was gonna be torn down anyway but the hurricane came at the right time so they blamed the park being gone on it
This ish is heartbreaking af. All the fun we had. Smh I've got a lot of photos and a million awesome memories out of Astroworld. Truly an integral part of my childhood. 🙏😘💔
A few months ago i had read an article from channel 2 news. The article was about a new theme park that will be constructed and phase 1 should end sometime early 2015. It also said that the initial opening of the theme park is supposed to be somewhere around the summer of 2015. I don't remember how many phases they will be having but, it's supposed to be totally done by 2025.

Hi guys! Can we use some parts of this footage in our next video? With full credits, of course. Thanks!!
I felt sick....i was 9 and use to catch metro on bellfort and broadway and get off and walk to get in..use my 79Q pass to get in....paid 29.95 for entire season...i used it every weekend...and even during week....i had about 5 dollars didnt care...had my girlfriend meet me at the needle..we stay til close...riding cyclone..thunder river..bamboo shoot...sky sceamer...cable cars over the park at night...saw my first concert there....Duran Duran..i miss it....
Alesha J Yep, all for the love of the dollar, I'm glad they got rid of their former CEO(Kieran Burke) for makin that dumb ass decision of bulldozing AstroWorld to the ground. Miss that place, AND FRIGHT FEST TOO!!😉👍
always a rush walking across that lil overpass to get there but being so damn tired leaving so we all wait for that shuttle to take us back to our cars. My poor feet lol. It was really cool to be there at night with everything lit up.
Well, to be entirely frank. It was cut down due to the fact that most people parked at the 'Dome, and it was moved and its parking lot was removed- or so I've been told. So, with no places to park, and in Houston, no places to put parking lots, it was... Very difficult.
I think they did if you were to look at the Firehawk demolition you see they didn't care about it but with these it looks like they save them I hope they did
Silly Randomness Only two coasters from Astroworld were saved, and still operates to this day: Mayan Mindbender and Serial Thriller....all others were scrapped unfortunately.
Own Lee two coaster survived , Mayan mindbender and serial thriller. Isle de other rides were damaged beyond repair during demolition. May bee you should ant hire pea pole from de town two destroy there own theme park.
To every cheer smile laughter that place brought to houston it was a shame i remember the excitement running through my veins as soon as i passed through the entrance. To the rides shows sometimes music performances from local artists. Shit i spent dam near all my summers here from 2000 til 2005. I am at least fortunate enough to say i had a blast while it was standing.
It deeply saddens me that they tore down a big part of my life. I loved every aspect of this amusement park and for them to destroy it for selfish reasons is appalling to me! Many people like myself spent many summers there having the times of our lives and to think the reasons for the demise was built on lies, deception and greed angers me. Because of this my children cant experience the same thrills that I had. Shame on Six Flags for taking this away from many of us dedicated fans!
Took the words right out of my mouth. So sad I miss this place like a home I no longer live in. Spent many many days there between 1998-2005. I still remember the last time I went was Fright Fest Saturday night October 22, 2005 right before they closed for good 😢
All the CEOs at Six Flags were fired that did this. They only got half of what they thought they were going to get. Also heard that Six Flags did regret this.
Good news for all astroworld lovers some where this summer of 2015 in conroe Texas they have been building a new theme park to replace astroworld called grand Texas theme park. It won't be in direct where astroworld was but it is in conroe which is closer to Houston. Then driving way out to San Antonio or Dallas
beyond depressing...watching this just brings back so many memories. the city of houston has lost its soul. this park gave so many very fond memories and wonderful experiences. its beyond me why some soulless jerk could just simply destroy it. someone explain it to me. it gave the cities kids something fun to do...what now? i guess everyone is expected to join gangs now n start doing drive by's...so much for good wholesome fun. i hope the bastard can sleep at night
Kieran Burke had no soul. He was a Greedy,Absentmided Right Wing Idiot. His Cronies thought they were going to get instantly rich tearing it down and were supposed to have gotten over $100 million in kickbacks with his Cronies getting $2 million each and Burke getting $25 million all in their own pockets. They ALL only got back $700k each and Burke got $1.5 million. Totaling just $45 million for the whole lot in estimate total. FAR less than the projected $125 million they thought they were going to get. Burke got run out of Houston and DISGRACED because of this stunt.
we are the 4th largest city and do not have our own amusement park! why do we have to leave home to visit someone else's park? people come visit our city all the time because they have never been before and having astroworld was an attraction and part of our history now the new upcoming generation have nothing to do here during the summer! rodeo comes once a year what else is there to do after thats over with? i think our city needs to rebuild bigger and better!!!!!! #houstontexas #rebuildASTROWORLD

Like the music! Like the way you captured the essence of the park how it was and some of the demolition shots are really good
