Only went once, for two hours. Six Flags in Arlington was better imo.

i've never been to Six Flags over Texas. objectively, i suspect you're probably right that it's "better"...i'm sure it was certainly cleaner and a hell of a lot less ghetto.

but for us houston kids from the 80s and 90s man...Astroworld was just so damn fun. the ghetto-ness of it sort of added to the fun, because it wasnt "dangerous" ghetto-ness like it probably would be now. and there were some absolutely amazing rides there too, many which were groundbreaking at the time.
