Six Flags AstroWorld

Six Flags AstroWorld, also known simply as AstroWorld, was a seasonally operated amusement park located in Houston, Texas. Owned and operated by Six Flags, the park was located between Kirby Drive and Fannin Avenue, directly south of I-610. The park opened on June 1, 1968, and was originally developed and constructed as part of the Astrodomain, the brainchild of local philanthropist and former Houston mayor Roy Hofheinz, who intended it to complement the Astrodome. AstroWorld was sold to Six Flags by the Hofheinz family in 1975. The park later included Six Flags WaterWorld, an adjacent water park.

AstroWorld was permanently closed by Six Flags after its final day of operations on October 30, 2005, the final night of Fright Fest. Demolition of AstroWorld and its water park was completed by mid-2006.
