Notice my avatar? It shows the Cyclones original PTC trains with 3 cars and 4 seaters each. When the Cyclone took you over its first drop, the entire last car was whipped into the air a good 5 ft before it landed back on the track. Thats all people talked about when they stood on the ground and watched it do that.

back then it was the bomb but over 20 yrs it is a kiddie coaster. rollercoasters are a drug. the more u ride it the less instense it is. i am not saying it wasnt the best or a thrill but come on now compared to el toro, hades or the one at holiday world it is a kiddie ride. astroworlds biggest downfall was lack of space for expansion and all the rides they have built in the past 20 years have been lackluster in the thrill department. no one traveled to astroworld from out of town at all. that is the main reason for lack of attendance. the tallest coaster we had was 110ft tall. I AM SORRY, but i dont miss it.

Well, the forecast was for sun and clear skies today. I got tired of waiting for it so I went and took a few pictures while it was cloudy.

More photos in the gallery on my site.
