thank you for this trip down memory lane. for all the younger people who find themselves here. bare witness to the greatest time to be a kid.. the 90's or least that's how it felt for me. all my 90's kids what yall think?
I spent most of my childhood at Astroworld... I often try to imagine it all in my mind but this video brought so much of it back to life for me. Incredible! Thank you!
Today you are my hero. XLR8 and the astroneedle were my favorite rides. Thank you so much for the chance to relive those experiences. The ride footage made my day.
A theme park that went extinct because of declining attendance not only due to the 2002 stadium, but also because of the September 11 attacks that happened in 2001.
*Pure Nostalgia...* ✨ Its EXACTLY how i have it stored in my memory from the early 90's. BEFORE the Dungeon Drop! Peep 5:11 SELENA had SOLD IT OUT 4 months earlier. Feb 28th, 1993, Astrodome Thanks for this gem!
Wow, brings back very early memories for me. I went here once when I was 4 in 1999 and once in 2002 when i was 7. Never got to go back before they shut it down. Had I been a year or two older I would have been tall enough to ride everything. RIP!
i really wish I was able to experience this amazing park (I was only 3 when it was demolished). If not for corporate greed by six flags it would probably still be around today
@@bullwinkle2380 six Flags wanted to get a lot of money from selling the park. But in reality they end up paying a lot to demolish the park and only got $177 million for less than what they want. It asked for today it is sometimes used as overflow parking for a rodeo
So many memories. Like alot of people here, I grew near Houston in the 80's and 90's and spent a lot of time there. This really takes me back. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Wow, this bring back such a huge rush of memories. Thank you for uploading this. This a waterwold were such a fun place. Really sad they closed this and its still an empty lot.
I was 10 years old that year. I remember this season vividly. I thought the bat cave was so cool then. This may have been the first time I rode the viper as well. I recall my parents bribing me with popcorn. Also, I love that this has xlr8 in it. That was my favorite at the time.
Awesome, bro. I grew up in the suburbs of Houston, and Astroworld was a part of my childhood. We made several trips to Dallas area to Arlington for Six Flags Over Texas though, and also San Antonio for Fiesta Texas. But Astroworld was my hometown escape from reality. So nice to see these fresh memories. I even worked at the park in the summer of 1996.
@@jotimage I'm 41. My Baby Brother's then GF worked there in '04. He was 17 when it was demolished. We went there for the First time in. August 1993 and again for the last time in June 2004.
It was common to have NO Tram service from the parking lot (across the expressway) to the Park. V.e.r.y. .l.o.n.g. . walk. Very hard for older people too.
It was only common in the later years. Prior to that, it was ALWAYS available. It would have been unthinkable at one time to make everyone walk over the bridge.
YALL REALLY NEED TO BRING BACK “SIX FLAGS ASTROWORLD” In HOUSTON That’s One Of The Largest Cities. Any City that’s The Largest City Deserves to have a Theme Park.
From what I heard Six Flags isn't interested in coming to Houston. But if you don't know about them already, there's this theme park company called Cedar Fair that I think could build y'all a new amusement park
Thanks for uploading this, this is great footage and it's awesome you got so much of it. Would you be OK with me using some of these clips for a series of videos I'm making on the park? I'd give on-screen credit and link back to the video. Please let me know, thanks!
This is the second version of the Great Texas Longhorn Revue, the All Star Texas Country Music Revue. Do you have more videos of animatronic shows at Six Flags? I know Over Texas (Arlington) had some shows like the Cyber Jazz Trio.
This is all of the video I have of six flags animatronic shows I believe. I don’t recall the one in six flags over Texas. They must’ve taken that out before I came of age. I didn’t realize this was the second version of the Longhorn review. Thank you.
Is that Red Panda performing in the Showcase Theatre at 59:00? 51:58 Is this footage from inside Horizons Theatre? This is awesome! So many things are just the way I remember them, and some things I have no recollection of.
Hey there! Could I possiblly feature some clips of the Great Texas Longhorn Review in an upcoming video on my channel? With on-screen credit of course! Let me know :D
and also my 17th birthday make a wish I wish I can go back in time in the early 1990s to go to astroworld theme park houston texas and go see a lot a lot of rides and and also my 17th birthday make a wish I wish I can go back in the early 1990s in new york city and go see the original world trade center 😊🎂

THAT WAS SO COOL to see a walkaround dog disguised as an animatronic! I SO WISH this could happen today. This park was truly experimental at the time.

Your welcome!
You’ve gotta tell me what it was like. Bro they closed the park when I was 9. I wasn’t tall enough to ride the rides 😢
@@jotimage I will NEVER Forgive that Greedy,Slimy Crony Kieran Burke for shutting down Astroworld in October 2005.
@@Tornado1994 agreed. It was an awful decision. Very similar to what happened with Opryland.
Thank you to whoever recorded this. It helped me relive some of the most happiest times in my life.
You’re welcome! I’m glad it brought back wonderful memories.

Phenomenal
I wish I could step into this video 😢
THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! This was the year i graduated from High School i spent alot of the summer there. I miss Astroworld dearly.
Great video thanks so much for sharing me and my cousins spent our summers at Astroworld o man I miss those good old days
Thank you for posting this!
Welcome!
Especially for Batman: The Escape.
Nostalgic. I remember when Astroworld had Pokemon too
We got to see the Batcave in this video.

But sadly it won't be like it used to be anymore with all the defunct amusement companies gone!

@@joshuahollowell95Cedar Fair is not in the business of building amusement parks from the ground up.
@@seanlewis1148 doesnt mean they cant start. Now that Cedar Fair and Six Flags have merged maybe some new moves can happen. CAN keyword
This place looked like a blast to visit in the 90's, hope you and your family enjoyed your vacation!
Imagine if we had wifi and youtube in the 1990s
It's so disturbing to me AstroWorld is gone. All of our landmarks are disappearing. I feel so lost in my home town.
Not a single kid is wearing sandals . That’s how it was from the late 80 to late 90s. Now like 80% would have slides or Crocs on.
So true
@@jotimageThank you so much😂😊
Go to 8:10 for the Batman: The Escape segment!
Astroworld in all it's glory......too bad that it's not around anymore.
RIP

Y qué le pasó con los robots y el teatro
Is that Red Panda performing in the Showcase Theatre at 59:00?
51:58 Is this footage from inside Horizons Theatre?
This is awesome! So many things are just the way I remember them, and some things I have no recollection of.
Yes, that is video from horizons at 51:58. I’m not sure about red panda; the marquee just said Chinese acrobats. 😀
I saw Tiffany n new kids on the block there by accident.

No because the hangtime on greezed lightning was way longer than that. No justice. 14:55
Sadly, I never got to go to Astroworld, despite living in Houston for all my life. Can't win 'em all, it seems.
Don't worry, maybe another theme park company will build y'all a new one
@@joshuahollowell95 Yeah, fingers crossed.
@jotimage Is Batman The Escape Standup Coaster Is New This Year ?
It was technically relocated from Six Flags Magic Mountain, but it was the new ride at AstroWorld in ‘93
@@jotimage And Great Adventures Shockwave
Batman beat the heck out of my head. I think I only rode it twice. I loved the bat cave and cold room though. Best themeing that I can recall there.

weren't they supposed to build an apartment complex in its place??? What happened???
It's an unofficial parking lot for the Houston Rodeo.
All the zooming in and out rapidly is annoying. Otherwise, good memories
Who remembers all the blacks fighting every night. No one wanted to go there anymore because of the gangs.
