No worries.”Kim Gomez: “One time in a galaxy far, far away my 3-year-old daughter tugged at the dress of a woman in line at the grocery store, a complete stranger, and asked her, ‘Will you take me to Astroworld?’ My favorite Astroworld story ever.”
Linda S. Rowe: “Was such a fun place. Went every year once it opened in ‘68. I also took my son there later. And I found out much later when I met my current husband that he played in a band there right after it opened . I probably watched his band. They played on the lake. The band was called the Southwest Freeway.”
Gennifer Pickard: “We had season passes every year! We literally went several days out of every week of the summer! It was the thrill of a lifetime until it started getting abused I guess you could say! great thanks to Jennifer RIP for being able to take us kids on those journeys while your best friend had to put in the long hard hours to make it possible!”

You never spilled it all over.” Marie A Perez: “Every summer my dad would always get us season passes. He liked the Greezed Lightning. If there wasn’t a lot of people the workers would let us stay and ride it over and over again. Thanks dad for buying us our season passes.”Wendy Brasher: “I remember the older rides like the Astrowheel, river of no return, bamboo shoot, the storybook boat ride, alpine sleigh ride, train, wagon wheel, runaway rickshaw, and octopus.
