|  | | | Did anyone ever check it out after it was closed? I haven't been able to go due to transportation reasons, but if it's still up I'll check it out during the summer.

| | | | From an eyewitness report: completely leveled. Evidently there is nothing left of Astroworld. Six Flags in New Orleans is another story....

| | | | Six Flags in New Orleans is still standing but pretty battered from the hurricane. I was told over the weekend that there are no plans to reopen it.
The parking lot has become a giant FEMA trailerpark.

last I read/heard, they were going to open it but not this season. But then again, you never know when your talking something that far out time wise with a company in as major a transition as Six Flags is. I was just reading a website on amusement parks that I cam across that was like a news letter for the industry that was talking about a ton of parks that are closing. I'll look it up at work tomorrow and see what I can find out, I had been meaning to post it anyway since it was something with quite a bit of potential for people.

| | | | Where was all the AstroWorld rides and such taken? I heard it was all auctioned off.
Too bad it is leveled. I was told that they had some utility tunnels under it. I bet their gone now.

| | | | A friend of mine went down to Texas recently and found out that Six Flags wrote off Astroworld as a complete loss. Something to do with displaced New Orleanians, and a few bad seeds going to town on ripping the place apart, according to her, and that was in mid-April. She said it was closed, but didn't say whether it was demolished or not.
http://www.sixflagshouston.com is now a tribute site to the history of the park.

| | | | This may sound stupid but does the city of Houston have another theme park that replaces astroworld? I may be there and be very popular, but I just havent heard of one or at least I cant remember hearing of one. It is hard to imagine such a large city without a major theme park if there is not one now.

Hello...

<Reply # 13 on 5/27/2006 4:01 AM >
| | | | Nope. Six Flags in Arlington and San Antonio are the only options. There has been a long running rumor that Disney has purchased land along I45 between Dallas and Houston for a theme park, but I'll believe that when I see it...

Wow! It is hard to believe that such a large city has no major theme park. Why did Astro World close anyway?
