![Six Flags AstroWorld: A Cyclone of Thrills [PART 1]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/shjRaWSXe6g/mqdefault.jpg)
I live in Maryland but my parents grew up in Houston and rode this ride hundreds of times. In 2005, when they heard that Astroworld was closing, they immediately flew my family (I am one in a set of triplets and I have an older sister) down to Houston to ride this legend... This was my first rollercoaster ever. RIP Astroworld, you will forever be my first and favorite amusement park.
Yeah I lived in Houston during this time. Such a sad day when they closed. I had season passes and was off at least one day during the week at my job so we'd go and ride everything with no lines during the week
A true classic version of a true classic! Whatever park gets rebuilt in the Houston area NEEDS to rebuild this AS IT WAS!
Awesome. I rode that probably a hundred or more times as a kid and remember that track like it was yesterday. Thanks for posting.
The best roller coaster EVER. None of the sleek, smooth metallic new ones can compare. I will never for get the fear/expectation of climbing up to, and going over that first drop, and the rest of it was nonstop thrilling. It's so sad that it's gone. I rode the original Cyclone in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The Texas Cyclone was even better.
my first roller coaster(: i miss astroworld... :(
Shit always felt like it was about to come apart. Added to the thrill. Pure legend
When I went to Astroworld, there were actually boards hanging off the thing, just sort of rattling.
That was in 1990.
this was an AMAZING ride from the back seat. Absolutely loved riding this.
OMG!!! I miss this soooo much!! It was the first roller coaster I went on and when they shut down Astroworld I was DEVASTATED!!! Thank you for sharing your memories!
I was the Ride Attendent for the Texas Cyclone
I rode that hundreds of times love that coster man I miss astroworld
As a young kid, I was scared to ride the Texas Cyclone. Once I finally did, it was all I wanted ride! Nothing else compared.
I still miss astroworld
My mom loved this ride along with Greezed lighting and for her Birthday present 3 years ago I found a brochure of the park from 1979 off of eBay for seventy five bucks but I got it for half off and she loved it a lot.
Thanks for sharing this. It's just awesome being able to see this after all these years!
Ah I miss living in Houston when Astroworld was open. I had season passes every year
Best video quality of this from a POV I've seen so far. Thanks for posting!
I miss the Texas Cyclone, yall got good video of this coaster
Thanks so much! - I did it myself and I was very pleased!
@@astrodavid just surprised because other people filmed and it was really blurry and not great quality. Also I recently bought a astroworld sky bucket on trash to treasure. Pretty excited about that, going to restore it
I miss this ride!
We had senior night at Astroworld tradition in Beaumont where I went to high school. It was once per year. We were partying on blow and ecstasy and I accidentally dropped a hit of ecstasy on the loading platform and the place was packed. I drop to my knees scrambling around for it and finally found it. I thought for sure it would have dropped through the wooden beams supporting the platform
this seems hilariously rinky dinky compared to coasters these days..but be sure to all if you ever road it was violent as hell. it was scary AF!! something about the ricketyness made it seem out of control... people would have neck injuries on this ride..
I wish I could build a time machine and go to AstroWorld. I never got to go there because I was two years old when it closed down and I live far from Houston.
oh man i miss astro world we went every summer till closed down
its so sad this park was lost
the Georgia Cyclone...too...I seem to get lost on this ride...difficult to figure out where I'm at during the ride...
The one and only time I rode this was in August of 2003, which was also the last time I went to Astroworld before it closed, and it scarred me for life. I haven't been on a roller coaster since, lol!
That was a long ride😂
May I use your footage in an upcoming video on Astroworld's history? I will give you full credit.
I never rode this because I was scared of wooden coasters (well all roller coasters really). I regret it now.
My dad helped fix this roller coaster up and tear it down crazy
The back cart came off the tracks supposedly thats why you had to be 18 to ride in back.
If it had, the shear forces would've peeled the whole thing off the tracks at the speed it was going. 60 MPH was insanely fast for wood.
The up stops had leaway
And also on my 17th birthday make the wish I wish I can go back in the early 1990s to go to Six Flags AstroWorld and go have fun a lot a lot of rides and also I my make a wish I wish I can go back in the early 1990s to go to see the original world trade center in new york city 🥳😁🎂
I appreciate your thoughts, views and shares!....I hope you will check out more of my stuff at CAMPDAVIDFILMS.COM - and thanks!!!.....David
Hi David, I produce a show called "This Forgotten Day in Houston" We'd love to use some of your Texas Cyclone footage for an episode. Please contact me at bkinnotime@gmail.com.
Thanks!

only thing scary about this roller coaster was it was held up by wood and it shook
I love Dollywood! Mystery Mine ( extremely unsafe, almost catches ur hair on fire with REAL FIRE.) best rollercoaster ever! go to dolly wood!
@Whiplust and this isnt even the same ride lol
The og park
0:32 - That's what she said.
This is just line the viper at six flags gurnee
Honestly was expecting more
Well, it's just a video. It's not like actually being on that clanker.
You clearly never rode it
I was 6 when they had just closed/:
Travis Scott rode this as a kid
who cares
AstroWorld is not gone because Six Flags in Houston and AstroWorld is basically the
same thing since Six Flags owns AstroWorld.
But it's gone... Six Flags made a choice and destroyed the place. So you're wrong.
sound logic
HUH?😕
Uhh what?
Lol
that was the best ride,it looks so tiny on the video it wasnt it was gut wrenching,they actually screwed it up though,at first way back in the super early 80's the seats were just a flat bench with no head rest so it would sling you all around it was fast and awesome,then they got these super big seats with giant head rest's so you were strapped in,you couldnt even see ahead of you,THE BEST place to ride was the very back,it went better over the drop off.when we were kids we had season tickets and we would ride it then run down and back up and there were only about 7 or 8 people in front of you,years later i returned like in 92 it was ghetto town for one thing,yea pretty dark and the rides had lines that made you wait for like 3 hours or more so screw all that crap,just like everything else in this country,so they shut it down.ghetto town houston trash.
my dad sai d soooooooooooooooo many peepz died at astro world, thts why they shut it down. :(
I never heard that.
@@Monorail-Beyond-the-Veil I heard of one incident where the Alpine ride fell.
Nope, the CEO thought he could sell the land and get Six Flags out of debt... he was wrong, and now we lost Astroworld for nothing
