  1. New article: Sept. 14, 2005, 10:11PM THE THRILL IS GONE Six Flags' buying spree leads to rough landing Empire's growth may have doomed AstroWorld By SEAN MURPHY Associated Press http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/business/3354452
  2. Thanks for sharing those pictures, jb4647. It's great that you have those. I guess I've got pictures somewhere around. The Astrodome sure looked purdy. I've been visiting that site since the announcement was made. Mostly just reading the forums, though. Too depressing to look at the other content. Something else I loved at Astroworld was the shooting gallery in Western Junction. Interactive animatronics are so neat.
  3. Ken Hoffman was just on the radio and he said there were also rumors of downtown joint project with Disney and George Lucas. I'm sure they amount to nothing. No telling how old the rumor is anyway. Though he didn't elaborate as to why, but Ken Hoffman didn't seem that optimistic about another theme park, either.
  4. I want to disagree, but deep down inside, I don't think so either. I so badly hope that I'm wrong. Disney coming here, I don't see that as a reality. I've heard those rumors are false anyway. If we get anything, I think it'll come from someone locally; someone with strong ties to the city. Yo, Fertitta! Maybe Tilman will start a chain of parks with the flagship being right here in Houston. Let's get something going.
  5. I don't care as long as it's in the "Houston area". SFOT is in Arlington, but people say Dallas anyway. Put it in Katy. It'll still be Houston.
  6. Here's a new article from MSNBC: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9325841/ This person predicts other Six Flags parks will eventually follow.
  7. I liked the Gunslinger and its dyed blue water below with hamburgers and cups floating around. :sigh:
  8. Just now on Fox 26 news, they revisted the opening of Astroworld and brought up both the outdoor air conditioning and the bridge. I remember the bread shop too! I forgot about that.
  9. My memories: My very, very earliest memory is riding the tram that takes you back to the parking lot. It was a warm evening; almost closing time, and I was clutching my stuffed hippopotamus that my parents bought me at the gift shop. I remember the glowing lights of the entrance. I loved the live shows in the theater in the Texas Cyclone area: Midsummer Night Scream, the Chinese Acrobats, Sid & Marty Krofft live. Fright Nights/Fright Fest. Every time I left feeling a little disturbed because of all the fake blood and bodies, but I loved it. Holiday In The Park with the melting snowhill. The Horizon theater. I was always afraid to lay down because, 1. it was scary and 2. because it was dirty. My cousin's husband leaving before everyone else because they weren't selling beer and one of the straps on his "Tiddy's" broke.
  10. I was just kidding, by the way. He he. Would it surprise anyone, though? Talks for Houston or Texas in general? Because if any city in Texas gets a new theme park, especially a Disney theme park, everyone knows it'll go to ... Midland.
  11. About a month ago, I saw Tilman Fertitta on Channel 11's Saturday morning news and he mentioned something about considering purchasing some land in the Dallas area and/or possibly San Antonio for a possible theme park.
  12. Here's an article from the Chronicle: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/business/3350688
  13. That's the only positive. Of course we could have nothing as well. This is very sad.
  14. Reuters: http://today.reuters.com/investing/finance...50-47_WEN8918:1
  15. Channel 2 just reported it. Editor, you can delete my thread on the same subject.
  16. We posted at the same time. This makes me sick to my stomach.
  17. I see they're first in the Wildcard standings again. I wish the regular season would hurry up and end while they're in that position so they can get into the playoffs. Is that how it works?
  18. I'm sure many of you are probably aware, but I did not know this. I knew it was up there, but not second.
  19. I'm not going to bother with it. Most of it is just stupid. They can't except every person to have an opinion about every question.
  20. That's a long poll! So they seriously want me to vote for my favorite Drag Queen? Who are some of these people?
  21. Here's an article from last night's event: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/h...ainment/3231463
  22. Houston's art museums have important works on display, but the buildings themselves are significant sculptural statements by modernist architects. BY SCOTT CANTRELL The Dallas Morning News http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/mld/myrtl...el/11794405.htm
