Went on a trip there in the late 80's with the man who is now my husband. He rode the Texas Cyclone, but I did not.
I met my future wife in Lima, Peru. We was from Holland and I was living in Ft. Lauderdale, but we arranged to meet in Houston in 1979. We spent day at Astroworld and we rode the Cyclone together. I think we still have the picture around the house somewhere that we had taken of us together in a fake Cyclone car as a souvenir.
RIP Astroworld. Went there about 30 years ago as a young kid. Had a great time. Just don't touch Six Flags Magic Mountain or Cedar Point and I'll be ok.
