The bridge over Loop 610 was engineered and built so that it could accommodate the planned monorail beamway. High standards were set by Judge Hofheinz. The ride (featuring free-floating boats along a wild land setting) was extremely successful and has been duplicated in many variations at most major amusement parks around the world. Plans for the former site have not been determined. Opening on June 1, 1968, it was originally developed and constructed as part of the Astrodomain, the brainchild of local philanthropist and former Houston mayor Judge Roy Hofheinz, who intended it to complement The Astrodome. In late 1983, 50% more anti-rollback devices were installed.
Local developers feel that the size and location along the 610 Loop near the Reliant Park complex and proximity to METRORail make it ideal for a dense urban type of development. The sports cars originally used on the Spin-Out were retired after being displaced by the taxis. The bridge crossing Loop 610 from the park to the parking lot continues to stand and is the last remaining structure from AstroWorld. A railroad crossing signal was installed and this became the second attraction to be constructed outside the perimeter of the 610 Limited railroad tracks. After sitting in storage at Frontier City for many years, the trains from the Excalibur were sent to Six Flags Over Texas and the remainder of the ride was scrapped. Country Fair received the addition of Boogie Fog Disco, but the Country Fair Carousel was removed. XLR-8 featured three trains, each comprising seven cars. Evidence of the intent to eventually relocate XLR-8 could be seen in the queue house design, which consisted of a basic wooden platform covered by a canvas canopy. The area where AstroWorld once stood is still grassland and is used for overflow parking during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Renamed Fright Fest in 1993 (now Six Flags Fright Fest), it continued until the park closed in 2005. On September 12, 2005, Six Flags CEO, Kieran Burke, announced that Six Flags AstroWorld would be closed and demolished at the end of the 2005 season. This panel was located on the loading side of the queue house and near the first row loading position. Mr. Hofheinz had final approval for aspects of park design. Allen Crosswell, a real estate developer from the firm Croswell Torian Commercial Properties, said that the former Astroworld site is "Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. The ride was then moved to Six Flags New England as Catapult after AstroWorld was closed. AstroWorld was constructed on land that was swampy and prone to flooding. More than 25,000 gallons of red, white and blue paint were used to cover the Douglas Fir lumber used for construction. Trains completed the course in three minutes, reaching a top speed of 50 feet per second (15 m/s). Six Flags AstroWorld opened to the public on June 1, 1968 with 50,000 guests visiting the first weekend. It was marketed as "AstroWorld: A Member of the Six Flags Family" so as to not confuse patrons with Six Flags Over Texas located in Arlington. It opened in 2003, and was manufactured by Ronald Bussink. During this season, the troika ride formerly known as Warp 10 was reopened as Warp 2000 in the Plaza de Fiesta section. Todos los derechos reservados. Country Fair opened in 1972 as the park's ninth themed area. Parking on the former site was not allowed for the 2012 NFL season for Texans games. A monorail system connecting Astrodomain properties was planned but never built.
Opryland USA's Timber Topper opened the same year with similar support columns. The gondolas used one set of wheels to go up the lift and down the drop (4 large wheels at each back corner), but used a different set in the transfer and loading and unloading area of the ride (smaller rollers located on the bottom of the gondola). The Arrow Dynamics suspended-swinging coaster, XLR-8, was constructed above the River of No Return boat ride. Guests standing near the front rows of the grandstand were often splashed by the wake of the ski boat as it made high speed turns around the small lagoon. Batman the Escape After the Alpine Sleigh Ride was discontinued we had a mountain and nothing to do with it at AstroWorld. Six Flags Waterworld became a themed section of Six Flags Astroworld in 2002 with a second entrance being built near the "Plaza De Fiesta" section of Six Flags Astroworld; a single ticket granted admission to both parks. The Aquarena Theatre was constructed between Plaza de Fiesta and Western Junction. The original landscaping, all designed in-house, included approximately 10,000 trees, 20,000 shrubs, and countless millions of flowers; nearly 600 varieties of plants were all combined to create a distinct atmosphere for each of the themed areas. The mixed use development "SouthPointe" has been proposed for the site. The bridge crossing Loop 610 which connected AstroWorld to its share of the Astrodomain (now NRG Park) parking lot was the only publicly accessible, privately owned bridge to cross an interstate highway in Harris County, Texas. This coaster installation brought the park's collection of Schwarzkopf rides up to three. See more ideas about Six flags houston, Astroworld houston, Six flags.
